Got Migraines? Read This.

If you’ve ever had a migraine headache, you know how debilitating it can be, lasting for hours and sometimes for days!  It is called a vascular headache meaning that it involves excessive expansion or contraction of the brain’s blood vessels.

There are 2 types: common and classic.  The difference is based on the absence (common) or presence (classic) of symptoms like flashing lights, zig-zag lines, blind spots, speech difficulty, confusion, and tingling or weakness in extremities before the onset of the headache.

There are many known triggers, some of which include food allergies, blood sugar disturbances, constipation, stress load, mechanical injury, liver malfunctions, too much or too little sleep, emotional changes,
lack of exercise, sun glare, flashing lights, changes in barometric pressure, dental problems,  and hormonal fluctations.  Treating a migraine means working with these triggers.

One main cause can be low blood sugar – studies have shown that blood sugar levels are low during a migraine attack, and the lower the blood sugar, the more severe the headache.

Many foods may also trigger migraines – chocolate, citrus fruits, alcohol (red wines), and any aged, cured, pickled, soured or fermented foods.

Some recommendations to help avoid migraine headaches are:

• Adopt a diet low in simple carbohydrates (white sugar & white flour products), and high in protein.
• Avoid Aspartame ( NutraSweet).
• Get moderate, regular exercise.
• Massage neck and back of head daily.
• Avoid salt and acid-forming foods (meat, dairy, sugar), fried foods, greasy foods.
• Eat frequent, small meals to stabilize blood sugar swings.
