These visual symptoms are called migraine aura. It occurs before the migraine symptoms begin to appear. Silent migraine can occur without a headache pain so it called an equivalent headache.

The causes of the silent migraine are similar to the normal migraine causes. It can be caused by the rapid narrowing and swelling of vessels of the blood. The blood cells can be clogged due to the excessive sections that produced by the nerve fiber in the brain.

Ocular Migraine – Recognize the Symptoms and Triggers Before it Affects You

Ocular Migraine – Recognize the Symptoms and Triggers Before it Affects You

Migraine is generally associated with headache that becomes almost chronic in nature and can occur without any warning signs. Ocular migraines are also known as eye migraines, with visual disturbance usually lasting less than an hour before dissipating. A mild headache may or may not follow the disturbance. It is believed that the cause of ocular migraines is a change in the blood flow of the brain, and a number of things may trigger them.

Ocular migraines are usually accompanied by abnormal visual sensations like blurring of vision headache and eyestrain headache. They are often observed in people with a history of classic migraines.

Often, no pain is associated with ocular migraines. Many sufferers experience only fatigue after the visual disturbance. However, for some, it is often accompanied by vomiting, nausea and double vision followed by a migraine. A migraine aura involving your vision usually affect both eyes, and you may experience missing areas of vision, flashing lights, zigzagging patterns or shimmering spots and become very sensitive to any light. Sometimes, only one eye is involved, and the symptoms usually disappear after approximately half an hour. These symptoms can temporarily interfere with your reading or driving but the condition is not considered serious.

Possible ocular migraine triggers are tiredness, especially after extended periods of reading, watching television, computer work, or other work that requires intense focus. This type of headache usually disappears after a period of rest.

Stress, hunger, birth control pills, changes in the menstrual cycle of women and nerve weakness are also believed to be associated with ocular migraines.

Foods and additives that may trigger or aggravate migraine attacks include caffeine, chocolate, dairy, aged cheeses, rich meat, alcohol, food with monosodium glutamate, stored meat or meat that contains nitrate preservatives.

You can control ocular migraines by taking the proper diet and by also managing your stress levels. Since it may not be possible to totally prevent its onset, being familiar with the symptoms and triggers assists you in early diagnosis and to take immediate action to manage it once it sets in.…

In the Beginning There Was Food – Part 4

In the Beginning There Was Food – Part 4

Welcome back! We’re happy you’ve chosen to return to follow along with us in our journey to a more balanced and nutritionally sound diet and lifestyle. Today, we’re going to talk about the Vegetable category on the Food Pyramid. We’re going to see why they are so good for us and why we should incorporate them into our meal plans.

Vegetables – A Great Way to Reduce Risk of Chronic Diseases

The veggie category in the USDA Food Pyramid is an interesting one. I know, eating all your veggies at dinner time was always drummed into our heads as we were growing up. We’ve all heard our moms tell us how important it was to eat your spinach. Well, there is excellent reason for those encouragements from long ago. Let’s look at some of them.

Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet is said to reduce the risk for stroke and as well as other cardiovascular diseases, may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes, may protect against some cancers (mouth, stomach, colon-rectum cancers), may reduce the risk of kidney stones and may prevent bone loss as we age. And, of course, eating veggies can give you fewer calories per cup then some other foods you might consume and, thereby, help with losing or maintaining a healthy body weight.

How About the Nutritional Value of Vegetables?

Well, let’s really look at this part. We know that, for the most part, veggies contain fewer calories and are lower in fat than many other foods. Usually the sauces, seasonings or dressings that we use add these other components to the mix. They can also add cholesterol to the fat and calories. Veggies are major sources of potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Vitamin C.

The Potassium Connection

Diets that are potassium-rich may help maintain a healthier blood pressure. Some sources of this mineral are sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products such as paste, sauce and juice, beet greens, soy beans, lima beans, winter squash, spinach, lentils, kidney beans and split peas.

More Dietary Fiber

The dietary fiber contained in vegetables offer the same health benefits and nutritional components mentioned above as well as providing an excellent “full” feeling to reduce the calorie intake of our diets.

Vitamins A, E and C

Vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy as well as helps to protect against infections. Vitamin E helps protect vitamin A and essential fatty acids from cell oxidation. Vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds, keeps teeth and gums healthy and aids in iron absorption.

In our next post, we’ll be talking about the Fruit category of the Food Pyramid and all the good reasons why we need fruits in our meal plans. Please plan to return for the next stop on our journey to a well-balance and nutritionally sound lifestyle.

Thanks, Vicki…

Migraine Headache Treatments – Reflexology Can Sort Your Migraine Out

Migraine Headache Treatments – Reflexology Can Sort Your Migraine Out

Just say the word migraine and most migraineurs will inwardly cringe at the memory of the pain, their most recent headache still very vivid in their mind. Mention the word reflexology and more likely than not you will get a blank stare. And yet a recent study in Denmark has shown reflexology to be a useful migraine headache treatment.

So what then is reflexology?

A massage technique reflexology is based on the premise that every part of the human body has a corresponding point of contact on the sole of the foot. Massage to stimulate these points on the foot is believed to relieve tension, pain and stress in the corresponding parts of the body.

The Danish study consisted of a mix of people suffering from a migraines and people suffering from chronic tension headaches. About 90% of the people involved in the study had taken prescribed medication for their headaches in the month before the start of the study. After the study, thanks to the treatment, 19% of those involved were able to stop taking their headache medication.

The study included a program of six to eight treatments with regular monthly follow-ups afterwards for a period of six months. At the end of six months 23% of those involved claimed to be completely cured and were no longer experiencing headaches. 55% said there was a marked improvement in their condition and were experiencing less frequent and less severe headaches. And 78% of those involved said they had seen some improvement in their condition.

A follow-up check was done three months afterwards and found 23% of participants said they were cured and 41% believed their quality of life had improved. It was found that treatments were most effective on younger patients and those who had been suffering from migraines for a shorter period of time.…

Natural Migraine Treatments – Chiropractic Care Can Provide Migraine Relief

Natural Migraine Treatments – Chiropractic Care Can Provide Migraine Relief

A natural method of relieving migraines that is non-invasive and without the use of medication is the use of chiropractic care. This method is of particular benefit for patients who for some reason or another are not able to take prescribed medication.

Despite the advances in medical science over the last hundred years migraine headaches remain idiopathic, their cause remains unknown. There are several theories that attempt to explain migraines and their causes but the net result is no definitive cause has yet been found. Serotonin deficiency, genetic malformation and arterial swelling in the brain are some of them.

On the other hand a fairly common chiropractic theory is subluxations at the base of the head and neck are responsible in some way for the production of migraines. Subluxations are tense or knotted areas in the muscles attached to the small bones of the upper spinal column. When x-rayed doctors often miss the tension of the muscles as the bones appear to be in their correct places. A chiropractor can relax these subluxations by gently manipulating the spine.

There are two varieties of chiropractic care for those who suffer from migraines. Straight and mixed chiropractic. Straight chiropractic is only about manipulating the spine to relieve the subluxations. Mixed chiropractic on the other hand uses traditional manipulation with other complimentary techniques. Reducing neck strain and tension is the goal of mixed chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care has been compared with the use of medications in treatments of migraines and chronic tension-type headaches. Researchers at the Northwestern College of Chiropractic in Minnesota gave 218 headache patients either drug therapy or regular chiropractic care. 40 to 50% reduction in headache pain was reported by both groups but four weeks after all care was discontinued the group that received chiropractic care were the only ones still enjoying the reduction in pain the treatment originally initiated. Only a quarter of the drug therapy group were found to be still benefiting from their treatment at the follow up.…

Top Causes of Folic Acid Deficiency

Top Causes of Folic Acid Deficiency

Knowing the top causes of folic acid deficiency is important because this nutrient can give a woman 50% more protection from some birth defects. Folic acid is used to repair and protect the DNA of cells and really is crucial when it comes to the development of a person.

This nutrient also makes a difference when it comes to the red blood cells in a human body which bring oxygen to various organs and they eliminate waste. So if someone is feeling really lethargic and tired one cause may be a lack of folic acid in their diet and the scientific name of this is anemia.

People who consume above average levels of alcohol and who have malnutrition are all at risk for being deficient in this vitamin. Malnutrition can be people who don’t eat enough of the green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, carrots, eggs or some of the whole wheat foods like cereals and breads are all at risk for not having enough of this vitamin in their diet.

Another thing to think about is the quality of the food. For instance, every second vegetables are being shipped and sitting on a shelf they lose vitamins. Plus overcooking them causes a loss in folic. Some other major risk factors could be prescription drugs. Some drugs may inhibit the absorption of this substance and may even suppress it. Make sure to talk to a physician when it comes to risk factors of any drugs that you take.

Also the older someone is the more of a chance that they can be deficient. This is called the aging process and it means that the older we get, the more likelihood something is going to break, just like an automobile. Plus pregnancy can put a woman at risk since she needs more folic, and some diseases like kidney failure and cancer.

What is tricky is that the symptoms of a folic acid deficiency may not show up for a long time. The top one is lack of energy, however this can also be caused by a number of other factors. Headaches with problems in concentration, and diarrhea can all be symptoms as well.

Vitamin B12 and folic acid may also play a role in mood disorders. So if you notice yourself or a loved one acting more depressed than they normally are, maybe they need some folic acid. Also remember folic is used for way more purposes than just protecting pregnant woman. It is used to keep bones strong, building red blood cells, preventing high cholesterol, cancer, Alzheimer’s, fighting toxins, and improving the way skin looks to name a few.

In the end, the safest way to ensure someone is getting enough of the nutrient is to take a supplement. For information on how to pick the right supplement for your situation as well as what not to look for, click on .…

Migraines And The Diet Factor

Migraines And The Diet Factor

Many of those who suffer from migraines would never consider the fact that what they eat or drink could actually be the very cause of their problem. However it is thought that at least 20% of people who suffer from this condition will more than likely have a direct connection between their diet and migraines.

Studies show that diet is a major influence and factor with regards to the causes of migraines. Over indulgence in a variety of foods that contain certain chemicals, additives and preservatives will over a period of time trigger a migraine and yet by just avoiding these particular foods can often be an important step in preventing an attack.

By eliminating those food items which are the cause of the problem, experts believe that nearly 45% of sufferers whose condition is associated with their diet would see the possibility of a migraine greatly reduced.

Although what you eat and drink can be a contributing factor that sets off a migraine attack, it is worth noting that not everyone will have the same reaction to every foodstuff, what may be a trigger for one person may not necessarily be a trigger for another, although in saying that there are some common foods which will probably affect nearly every sufferer in one way or another.

Common Food Related Triggers

There are many common food related triggers contained in our diets today, some are natural chemicals and others are preservatives and additives.

Tyramineis a natural chemical which is found in aged cheeses, red wine and a number of alcohol drinks and even some processed meats.

Nitrates and Nitritesare food additives and preservatives predominantly found in ham, sausages.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), mainly found in Chinese food, frozen dinners and soups.

Specific Food Triggers

Aged Cheeses – Blue cheeses, mature, cheddar, feta

Alcohol – Red Wine, beer, whisky

Caffeine – Coffee, Tea, Cola and other fizzy drinks

Processed Meats that include pepperoni, hotdogs and cold meats

Yeast products – Bread, doughnuts

Dried Fruits – Raisins, figs

Citrus Fruits – Oranges, grapefruits, Lemons

Bananas

Smoked or Dried Fish

Nuts and Peanuts

As you can see from the above list, the effect food and drink can have on the causes of migraine are wide and varied, so when shopping at the supermarket or your local store it may be a good idea to check the labels to see what actually is contained in the items you are buying and avoid where necessary..

Migraine Diet Diary/Journal

Do this over a period of time and you’ll be able to eliminate the guilty foods from your diet without sacrificing other foods which you may enjoy.

Understanding Migraines

Understanding Migraines

Migraines are headaches that are typically characterized as vascular headaches. In addition, they can be preceded by disturbances in vision such as loss in side or peripheral vision, flashes of light, and abnormalities in smell, which are known as auras. Other symptoms that may present themselves at the time that auras present themselves are numbness, tingling and weakness in the legs or arms, speech disturbances, confusion and perceptual disturbances.

Pain of migraines is typically felt as a throbbing, one-sided head pain that sometimes spreads to the entire head. In addition, pain is sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity and is made worse by physical activity. Also, patients often complain of feeling cold, weak and might appear pale. Less common migraine symptoms include redness and tearing in one eye, nasal congestion and runny nose. Migraine headaches are more common in women, as they are sometimes tied to the menstrual cycle. It is thought that the hormone estrogen plays an important role in the development of migraines. Migraines that occur during the menstrual cycle are typically more severe, are not preceded by auras and last longer.

Migraine suffers often report that they experienced their first migraine headache as children. Since these types of headaches are usually exacerbated by fluctuations in hormones, they are worse during the reproductive years and decline as menopause approaches. As women near menopause, their levels of circulating estrogen declines, thereby decreasing hormonally fueled migraines. Also, when women undergo ovary removal they sometimes notice that their migraines decrease. Again, this is due to the fact that their estrogen levels have decreased. The ovaries produce significant amounts of estrogen and when the ovaries are surgically removed, estrogen production is diminished.

Treatment for migraines include over-the-counter medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics such as acetaminophen and prescription medications such as ergotamine and triptans. Physicians might prescribe barbiturates and opioid based medications when a patient cannot tolerate side effects from triptan medications or ergotamine. These side effects include nausea, vomiting, palpitations and anxiety. Although very effective in treating migraine pain, the side effects can be worse than the migraine attack itself. Other treatments for the symptoms of migraines include anti-nausea medication. Many times the nausea that accompanies migraines is debilitating, so the physician may recommend drugs that control nausea and vomiting. A typical side effect of anti-nausea medication is drowsiness, which in this case, can be beneficial to the patient because it affords them much needed sleep and rest.

If these treatment options fail to bring resolution to the symptoms of migraine headaches, further evaluation may be needed. Although rare, symptoms of migraine headache can be indicative of more serious medical conditions such as a brain tumor or neurological condition. In addition, diagnostic tests such as an MRI or CAT scan might be useful in ruling out other causes of severe headache. If migraine pain and resultant symptoms come on suddenly, especially if the patient has no prior history of migraines, a lumbar puncture, or spinal tap may …
