We all know that killing is an act of violence but so are those pesky migraines killing our good humour and wasting our time. We may act bravely and say that it was all for good as we were given some time away from everyday stress and routine but that just does not reflect how we actually feel; what we think when a migraine strikes is how to kill it fast as it is killing us.
When on medication and traditional treatment to cure cancer, patients are even more likely to deal with such problems. Not all of them and not of the same kind; it does depend on each individual's case. But, preventing an ugly situation never harmed but the one evil dude up for no good against your good humour, so, why not try to have as many helpful fruit and veggies or other foods that may help prevent a terrible headache? Berries are said to relieve sinus pressure. They are high in antioxidants and provide the body with enough vitamins to hold one fresh for a whole day if not even a couple of days. Just kidding, the effects are bound to last longer, but berries aren't the only solution offered. There are mushrooms that can help improve gut health and prevent migraine.
You need riboflavin (also known as B2) and mushrooms seem to have plenty of that, just like quinoa, nuts and eggs. Chocolate is also a good idea, or small doses of coffee, although coffee may also cause migraines.
The most common nutritional cause of persistent (or cluster) headaches is said to be magnesium deficiency. Seeds and nuts are then the solutions, with fibre. But, here is where watermelon comes to impress with its mighty great abilities in helping. It not only hydrates but also brings some sugar into the body which might be okay, depending on the kind of treatment the patient is on or the post-diet and recovery cure.
Effective in relieving sinus pressure and pain is peppermint. Herbal teas are ideal for anyone who cannot eat well and isn't advised to introduce any sugar to their body. Sometimes the answer is sugarless miraculous fluids to wash away what goes so wrong. Ginger tea is also very good in these situations but, one should be very careful with ginger tea! It does help one lose the pain and cleans up the system very well but it also helps lose some weight and helps the blood pressure, making the blood more light and fluid thus being absolutely banned from use before any surgical intervention. If you accidentally cut yourself, know that you will bleed more if yesterday you had ginger tea.
Unless any medical interdiction due to the patient's condition, though, drinking a half teaspoon of powdered ginger in warm water does help reduce migraine severity. I tried it and it worked and other people I know have tried and it helped. In some cases, simple cold compressions soaked in ginger tea cloths helped as some people do have an intolerance whilst ingesting ginger but seem to do very well whilst they do not take in any of it but by epithelial absorption.
For those who can and feel like having some yoghurt instead of all the mambo-italiano jumbo above, yes, this is another option. It is also good against constipation and is a source of hydration. Almond and cashew yoghurt are recommended by the medical director of integrative medicine, MD, Wynne Brown.
Then you have broccoli to prevent menstrual migraine. Women need to take care of this aspect of their lives. "Increasing their intake of cruciferous vegetables because of their effects on oestrogen" would be the right answer as they contain phytoestrogens, hormonally active compounds. These compounds have oestrogen-like effects in humans - or, conversely, antiestrogenic effects.
For more magnesium, spinach and Swiss chard are recommended. Sesame is one of the star seeds that may help and ground flax seeds combined with any of the foods above make miracles.
- Black Beans?
- Sure!
They keep blood glucose levels stable. Reactive hypoglycaemia, which is a decrease in blood sugar after eating, can lead to headaches. In this case, switching to carbohydrate types that can help will help stabilize blood sugar. Black beans, squash, quinoa, or root vegetables are the idea suggested in an article on everydayhealth.com
You might as well consider moving a little, if easy sports activities aren't and option a little walk might be extremely helpful. People who are constantly moving their bodies and exercise a lot tend to have a better grip on healthy ways and deal much better with pain.
