Is age a risk factor for stroke? Check.
Is heredity? Check.
How about gender? Check.
Are these the only risk factors, though? Nope. It turns out that the strangest, didn’t-see-that-one-coming situation can dramatically increase your chances of getting stroke – up to 20%.
Hint: it’s a physical phenomenon that occurs pretty much everywhere. Curious yet?
Our Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field. When this magnetic field is disturbed by solar winds and coronal mass ejections from the sun, geomagnetic storms happen!
Are you wondering why this unusual piece of information is being shared in a health article? Well, a new study has found that these geomagnetic storms actually increase the risk of stroke by almost 20 percent!
Researchers from the National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neurosciences in Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand have made this startling discovery. They analyzed the data of about 11,000 patients from six massive studies that were conducted between 1981 and 2004 in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
For the study, the researchers took the day and time when the patients experienced their first stroke and compared it with the geomagnetic activity recorded for the same period. They also compared the geomagnetic activity of 8 other days when the patients did not get a stroke.
The comparison studies revealed that stroke was 19 percent more likely to occur on days of geomagnetic storms than any other time!
Most people suffer stroke at an age above 70, but with the strokes caused by geomagnetic storms, it was found to occur much earlier: in their mid-sixties!
What could be the link between geomagnetic storms and stroke? The researchers suggest that the disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field could have a subtle but significant effect on blood pressure, blood clotting ability and heart rhythm variations.
So, it is suggested that while the results are not conclusive, it is best for people to avoid stress, dehydration and alcohol so that they reduce the chances of getting a stroke during a geomagnetic storm or even normal times.

this shows then the earth magnetic field affects our body especially on our cardiovascular systems,too bad
I’m not surprised to hear this. No matter how science grows and how advance we become, we’re connected and depended to mother earth. And we have to learn to live in rhythm with her.
This is amazing. Never has my doctor asked for the frequency of geomagnetic storms in my area upon a doctors visit 🙂
Why would we think we are immune to magnetic field changes.There is so much about the Earth and its influence on us that we have yet to discover.
The lining of our arteries and arterioles is called the endothelium. It is only one cell thick. It gets damaged by high blood-glucose, smoking, and even by antibodies penetrating it in order to fight infection in organs. Not too much is known about it, and I have found only around 5 papers treating its in-built repair mechanism. One paper shows that endothelial progenitor cells, made in the bone marrow, are increased by a factor of 4 just after exercise.
So it seems likely that voltage gradients in storms cause damage to the endothelium, breaking up plaque to cause a clot and stroke. More exercise in general, but not during storms, would seem a safe approach. Some holistic doctors are keen on earthing the human body, through the feet, using conductive mats connected to earth. That ought to remove voltage gradients in the body.
But how does a person know when there is a geomagnetic storm?
Prophesy says that a third of the planet will drop dead ( in a single radio event. ) The symptoms will be noticed in the left arm. ( heart ) . the cure will be herbal
Thanks for this very interesting article. This is the first time that I have heard of this theory. — Not saying that it isn't sound — Just the first time that I have been made aware of this.
