During the occurrence of powerful explosions on the Sun, the level of cosmic radiation increases, which can negatively affect human health. About This Life said oncologist Khamis Magomedova.
“To protect against the potential harmful effects of solar flares, people need to take precautions such as avoiding prolonged exposure to air during solar flare activity,” the doctor said.
He explained that increased radiation levels could harm people at high latitudes or high geological latitudes, especially pilots and astronauts. Additionally, such exposure increases the risk of developing cancer.
Magomedova recommends following the warnings of space agencies about flares and geomagnetic storms and to be careful outdoors on the days when these events are observed. The expert recommends that you pay attention to your nutrition during this period and include fruits, vegetables, green tea, nuts and seafood in your diet.
