How is migraine different from other headaches?

Migraine is a neurological condition that is most commonly associated with a strong headache. Migraine causes debilitating throbbing and pulsating pain usually on one side of the head that can leave person in bed for days. It is due to the excessive stimulation of the nerves and blood vessels of the brain. Headache is episodic and often occurs with vomiting, nausea, photosensitivity (sensitive to light), tiredness, visual disturbances, numbness, tingling, irritability, temporary loss of vision and many more. The triggering factors may include movement, acidic stomach, constipation, light, sound etc. Many researches have shown that it is the most disabling disease in the world.

Stages of migraine:

Migraine follows four stages in chronological order prodrome, aura, headache and postdrome.

So to maintain hormony in the body these have to be taken care of.

Migraine is known as Sooryaavarta. Splitting this we get “Soorya” that means Sun and “Aavarta” means blockage or affliction. It defines that headache rises on sunrise, peaks in mid noon and decreases during evening. This is the typical feature of the headache but not true in every case. Symptoms may vary from person to person and based on the body type and habits. In migraine elevated pitta dosha obstruct the flow of vata dosha causing pain in the head.

INTRODUCTION

Men are biologically designed weaker in comparison to women. On an average, men die five years earlier than their wives. Men care less about their health in comparison to women. They put their health at last. They think if they are playing their roles nicely in society, then they are healthy. They do not follow healthy lifestyle and do not go for regular health check-ups. They tend to drink more alcohol, consume tobacco and have unhealthy eating habits. This all make them more prone to health problems.

Some of the various health conditions which affect men are diabetes, heart problems, stroke, cancer, depression, etc. However, benign prostate enlargement and prostate cancer occur only in men. Many of the health problems are preventable if they do some of the dietary and lifestyle changes. Regular physical exercise, balanced diet, less alcohol consumption and regular health checkups can keep various diseases at bay.

SOME OF THE VARIOUS HEALTH CONCERNS RELATED TO MEN

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Atherosclerosis is the root cause of various other heart-related problems. Atherosclerosis is the hardening of arteries due to the deposition of cholesterol inside the walls of arteries. Cholesterol plaques are formed on the inner lining of arteries. This causes narrowing of the blood vessels leading to hypertension, blockage, stroke and heart attack. It is the one of the global health concern. The cholesterol plaque can get detached from the artery wall and can cause blockage in brain, heart or any other part of body. When the clot formation occurs in heart, it causes a heart attack.

Nearly 1 in 5 men die due to a cardiovascular disorder. Women have more amount of good cholesterol in their blood in comparison to men. So men need to take much care of themselves to reduce the risk of heart diseases.

With some of the following steps, cardiovascular diseases can be prevented:

Regular health check-ups
Regular cholesterol screening
Maintaining blood pressure
Regular physical exercise of near about 30 minutes a day
Stop cigarette smoking
Eat more fruits and vegetables

DIABETES

Diabetes is one of the major health concern now-a-days. It usually begins silently, with no symptoms at first. But the blood sugar levels increase with passing time leading to manifestation of the symptoms. Increased urination and thirst are the most common symptoms of diabetes. The increased level of glucose in blood act like a slow poison on the nerves and blood vessels. This leads to other health problems like heart attacks, blindness, stroke, kidney failure and amputations. Being overweight and bad eating habits are one of the most common cause of diabetes. So one should do regular physical exercise and eating healthy diet for maintaining weight. This helps in prevention of diabetes and reduces the chance of developing the disease by more than 50 percent.

RESPIRATORY DISEASES

Respiratory diseases start as a man starts smoking. Coughing is the first symptom which often leads to other fatal conditions like emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, etc. Every year more men are diagnosed with respiratory problems due to increased smoking. Exposure to toxic fumes, fine dust, asbestos, etc. comes under some of the occupational hazards which also cause lung problems. Tobacco smoking is the cause of 90 percent lung cancers.

Men are more prone to smoking from an early age. One should quit smoking for the prevention or further aggravation of lung diseases.

LIVER DISEASE

Liver is the second largest gland in body. It helps in digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. It removes toxins from the body and filters drugs. Alcohol consumption is very common among men. Now-a-days boys of adolescent age start drinking with their friends and this habit continues further. Some of the common liver disorders which occur due to alcohol intake or some other reason are:

Liver cirrhosis
Hepatitis
Bile duct cancer
Alcoholic or non-alcoholic live disease
Genetic liver disease
Liver cancer

By not consuming alcohol, doing regular physical exercise and eating a balanced diet can help in preventing liver diseases.

PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate gland is a male reproductive organ. It helps in formation of semen. It is a walnut-sized glans which is present behind the penis. As men gets older, the prostate gland gets more prone to problems. Benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) is the enlargement of prostate gland. It is very common among old men. This leads to dribbling of urine and frequent urination at night. When not treated at time, it can lead to prostate cancer. One in six men are diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Most of the prostate cancers are slow to grow and cause metastasis. But some are aggressive in nature. Proper screening and blood tests can be helpful in the diagnosis of prostate problem.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTIONING

Erectile dysfunctioning has also become very common among men now-a-days. It is not a life-threatening disorder but can indicate serious underlying health implication. Men above 40 years are affected by erectile dysfunction. The most common cause of it is atherosclerosis which is hardening of arteries. This shows that arteries throughout the body are not healthy. Men suffering from erectile dysfunction are more prone to depression. It is one of the first sign of cardiovascular disease.

WHAT IS KETO DIET?

Ketogenic diet is a diet which is very low in carbohydrates and rich in fats and proteins. It is very popular now-a-days as keto diet. It leads to drastic reduction of carbohydrates in body and usage of fat causing weight loss. The metabolism of fat increases and fats are converted into ketone bodies. This process is knows as ketosis. The fats are converted into ketones in liver and energy is supplied to the brain. The foods which contain large amounts of carbohydrates such as sugar, white bread, soda, pastries, etc. are avoided. Ketogenic diets significantly reduce blood sugar and insulin levels in blood. Earlier, this diet was used for the treatment of diabetes.

It has benefits for various health disorders like diabetes, cancer, alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, etc.

WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF WORKING OF KETO DIET?

In ketogenic diet, there is very less intake of carbohydrates and the body gets deprived of glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for all the cells in the body. Brain requires glucose in a constant manner. Near about 120 grams of glucose is required daily by the brain as it cannot store glucose. When a person does fasting or very low amount of sugar is present in blood, the body pulls glucose from the liver and temporarily breaks down muscle to release glucose. This happens during first 3 to 4 days and the stored glucose is fully depleted. The amount of insulin hormone also decreases. At this time, body starts using fat for energy production. This leads to production of ketone bodies in body and thus leads to ketosis.

In ketogenic diet, the glucose intake is reduced and body starts using fat as an energy source. During fasting and strenuous exercise, mild ketosis is experienced. The diet should be carefully followed and level of ketone bodies should be maintained upto a certain level.
