Autumn has sharp temperature swings, doesn’t it? What are some ways to prevent temperature-change (non-allergic) rhinitis?

Have you ever struggled with health issues or felt unsure about what to wear due to the temperature swings in autumn? One condition that tends to occur during seasonal transitions or when the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures widens is temperature-change allergy (non-allergic rhinitis triggered by temperature fluctuations).

Its symptoms vary and can include a runny or stuffy nose, coughing, headaches, hives, and sneezing.

What comes to mind as a way to prevent this so-called temperature-change allergy? The answer is strength training—be mindful of your health with moderate strength training and aerobic exercise.

Maple trees turn beautifully red in autumn, but what is something they have in common with humans?

When it comes to autumn scenery, nothing beats the changing leaves—trees turning vivid colors from places close by to mountains in the distance.

Even among the indispensable Japanese maple leaves, there are color differences, and it’s said this is due to a mechanism similar to that in humans.

So what is it that’s the same as in humans? Many people might guess it if you think of a scientifically based way of broadly classifying human individuality—something even used in fortune-telling.

The answer is blood type.

Of course, plants don’t have blood, so they’re classified by the types of glycoproteins contained in their sap.

Yellow maples are said to correspond to type O, and red maples to type AB.
