  "account": "Many people are relieved that the extreme heat is finally over. However, the change to cooler temperatures can also put a strain on the body, especially for those who suffer from weather sensitivity. This is not just an illusion: falling or rising temperatures, changes in air pressure, or humidity can overwhelm our body. Circulatory problems, dizziness, or a general feeling of discomfort are possible consequences. If problems persist after a weather shift, affected individuals should seek medical advice from a general practitioner. Cautions are advised for those with chronic high blood pressure, as they are often the most sensitive to weather changes. According to the German Heart Foundation, older individuals and those with chronic conditions such as rheumatism, asthma, or heart and circulatory issues are more commonly affected. High or low blood pressure can also amplify the effects of weather changes. The body's regulation of blood vessels is managed by the autonomic nervous system, which can be exercised through outdoor activities like daily walks. The German Heart Foundation recommends daily walks, alternating showers, and sauna sessions as preventive measures against weather sensitivity. The German Weather Service provides information on the risk of the current weather leading to stress in the body via its website. The meteorologists at the DWD offer free access to a map of Germany divided into eleven regions, showing risk indices for weather sensitivity. The map can be filtered to focus on general well-being, asthma, heart and circulatory issues, or rheumatic complaints. Users can also choose between forecasts for today, tomorrow, and the day after. This allows individuals to quickly determine whether there is a risk or even a positive impact of the weather on their well-being.",
