Bioweather influences health

The organic weather in Cottbus today is not very friendly: there is a low risk of cardiovascular problems and headaches. Users of asthma medication and rheumatism sufferers must also expect increased symptoms. The experts from gesundheit.de also warn that more frequent joint, muscle and limb pain can be expected. Although an accelerated metabolism can have positive effects, people with high blood pressure should avoid exertion.

Increased tendencies for migraines and headaches are expected for tomorrow. The weather conditions also seem to have a negative influence on the mood: mental well-being is plagued by an increased occurrence of mental problems and colds, according to an analysis by donnerwetter.de.

Pollen count and ozone levels in focus

Today there is pollen in Cottbus, but only with moderate levels of plantain and grass pollen. Almost no irritation from linden, sorrel, goosefoot, nettle or mugwort pollen is to be expected - at least probably! Tomorrow the pollen count will remain moderate, but local pollen-containing air from various plants can also be seen. Therefore, allergy sufferers should be well prepared.

Ozone levels are low today and tomorrow, so no health effects are expected. Both report a lower intensity of ozone levels gesundheit.de as well as donnerwetter.de.

In summary, it can be said that the weather will be rather unpleasant in the coming days. Only exercise outdoors, despite the weather, remains a recommendation to strengthen your immune system. So stay healthy and don't let it spoil your good mood!
