The other day I was craving freshly-squeezed lemon juice, again! Every once in a while I have to have it, not unlike my chocolate cravings that attack me like a pittbull every few weeks. In any case, I had always thought the lemonade thing was brought on by a specific type of thirst from salty food or something. But this time, I noticed I had been feeling sleepy all day along with the rainy weather and low atmospheric pressure. Which got me to thinking…how much our bodies and their functioning are affected by weather. It seems that doctors can find nothing completely conclusive about how rain causes people with arthritis to suffer more or how excessive heat causes criminals to act up. But Belfast Telegraph in the U.K. came up with an interesting list of 12 different natural weather conditions and their possible human symptoms, from humidity-induced migraines to insomnia brought on by wind.
