Know More About Your Thinking Machine

by Rene Lacape

Fighting ADD/ADHD disorder is not a tough job if you have a will to do. Precautionary steps in keeping yourself aloof from foods attracting your attention are best solution. This would keep your body and brain well balanced.

The purpose of this week's article is to summaries the things that we have learned about brain function and to emphasize some of the most important insights. This will hopefully provide you with a 'big picture view' of this vital topic. I am going to do my best not to enter into too much technical detail while presenting this 'big picture'. This is why I am going to present the information in the form of the "Top 8 Nutrition Tips for Optimum Brain Function"

1. Maintain Balance: Keep it noted that brain is a complex and vital organ of human body hence it requires additional attention. It must be nourished properly. Good number of nutrients, vitamins and minerals are mandatory to keep your brain healthy so that it functions effectively. It is therefore necessary that you maintain balanced diet and don't concentrate on a particular category of food which creates other problems.

.|2. Don't let protein remain away: Our changing food habits have started showing severe effects on our bodies and minds. This negligence is found abundantly when you avoid taking protein intake or lessen its quantity. Your body can't perform its basic duties properly if your protein intake is not in appropriate quantity. Do you like vegetarian food? If the case is so, you need to be more cautious. At this situation you should have enough intakes of protein rich foods. You should take combination food which has balanced quantity of protein alongside other nourishing items.

3. Choose consistent energy supplying methodology: Our bodies can't perform effectively without being controlled by brain. As it is significant energy consuming part of our body at using approximately 20% of consumed energy, it plays greater role in the body. Brain should be supplied constant energy. When energy supplying process is continuous and balanced, its impact is seen for extended periods. Low-GI food is recommended to fulfill this particular aim. The foods release energy for longer periods and are good dietary options to nourish brain.

4. Take proper fatty intake in your food: Protection and membrane formation of our brains are possible through an appropriate intake of fats in our regular food items. Fats are pivotal in nourishing the brain. Omega 3, Omega 6 and 'pure' DHA are highly effective 'brain fatty acids which help it get nourished properly. Do you really want to improve your brain power? Apply best sources of fats in your diet so that they keep your brain charged.

5. Don't forget the vitamins and minerals: The human brain needs several kinds of vitamins and minerals in order to do its job of being the nerve center of the body properly. Some of the most important ones are: Vitamin E, B Vitamins, Vitamin C and Magnesium.

6. Keep yourself away from toxins and harmful substances: You should never, ever take foods which are laced with some sort of pesticide or the other. A few chemicals substances are least harmful but their excessive intake can prove fatal as they are very problematic. Some of these chemicals are particular artificial colours and flavours. The trans-fatty acids too are harmful as they are the byproducts of heating fats.

7. Take necessary supplements: Having balanced diet these days is a draconian task. Usually it is not possible to manage proper mixing of food ingredients so that nutrients, vitamins and minerals required for effective functioning of brain are achieved through diet. In such circumstances, it becomes mandatory to take extra supplements of a particular category of nutrients. Mostly trans-fatty acids and particular categories of vitamins are given as supplements.

.|8. Exercise for fitness: Exercising doesn't come in the category of 'nutrition tip'. Its importance is paramount for healthy body and mind. When you do regular exercising, your blood circulation keeps it warmed up which is of great benefit for brain too that must be provided with sufficient energy. It has been proved that storing of fat in the middle portion of the body not only hampers body growth but keeps your brain at low. It is at this context that exercise is crucial in reducing fat levels in the body.

The above mentioned discussion opens many layers of realities which are but part of our lifecycle. They are indeed part of our common sense. Interestingly people know them but don't follow them. Resultantly they remain 'fuzzy' and aimless. If you battle with ADD/ADHD symptoms, be cautious to keep your brain strengthened through best nutritious elements.

Why Do I Get Migraine Headaches?

by Marion Jones

Headaches of any kind are always very painful for the sufferer. However, some headaches, such as migraines, for example, can create even more problems than just a headache. These problems could be nausea, sensitivity to light and a throbbing pain in the head. Sometimes the headache is felt on one side of the head, and other times you can feel the pain on both sides of your head at the same time.

The real causes of migraine headaches has not yet been discovered, although there are some theories why people have migraine headaches. The most common theory is that a change in the blood flow within the brain is one of the triggers that causes migraine headaches. Another theory about migraine headache is that it could possibly be caused by pain sensing chemicals called neuropeptides.

Many medical professionals think that neuropeptides relax the muscle that surrounds the cranial blood vessels. This relaxation causes the blood vessels to dilate. The relaxed blood vessels increase the flow of blood and other cranial fluid to the brain. This increase in fluids is thought to be the cause of migraine headaches.

These cranial fluids cause swelling, pain, sensitivity, tissue and blood vessel swelling during the time of the migraine headaches. Some people think that the aura that is sometimes seen during a migraine headache is caused by the constriction of the blood vessels that became dilated during the starting period of the migraine headache.

Another theory about the reason for migraine headaches has been linked to genetics and inheritance. These theories say that a child of migraine sufferers will have a 50% probability of getting migraine headaches too.

The chances of having migraine headaches becomes even greater if both parents are sufferers of this painful type of headache. If both parents are known to have frequent migraine headaches the chances of the child inheriting migraine headache symptoms is about 70%.

Even though many professionals are persuaded that inheritance plays a big part in migraine headaches, the genes that are considered to be the causes of migraine headaches have not been identified or even isolated yet. When we start to experience migraine headaches the only warning signs that we may expect to receive are a throbbing pain in the temple area and slight sickness.

As the symptoms of the migraine progresses, the pain becomes much worse. Unfortunately, since the causes of migraine headaches have not been found and we don't know what triggers these attacks, there are no medications to cure this sort of headaches yet.
