In many people, migraines prevention is a matter of simple changes to lifestyle which can induce massive reductions to the number and severity of migraines.
However, in some people, migraines prevention cannot be instigated by managing stress, relaxation methods or by cognitive behavioral therapy, but at least these techniques do not result in unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects.
Another major factor in the frequency of migraines is diet.
In any system intending to prevent migraines, keeping a diary of the migraine attacks is a vital initial step to identifying possible triggers.
The Migraine Diary A migraine diary is a major tool in helping to identify and managing headache triggers.
The diary entries should include noting where and when migraines are experienced, activities undertaken, dietary intake, weather, periods of abnormal stress and the cause.
In fact, any information could prove useful in identifying possible headache triggers.
Developing a viable program aimed at preventing migraines is simply a matter of analysing the entries and modifying lifestyle and behavior accordingly.
Managing Stress As stress is one of the most common factors in triggering migraines, it follows that by reducing stress levels, migraines can be significantly reduced.
Reducing stress can lead to relieving neck and shoulder muscle tension, which are areas that can both cause or aggravate headaches.
Meditation and Relaxation Relaxation methods can be used to battle stress and ease the tension in muscles, with the added advantage of being able to be performed anywhere and at any time.
Techniques such as deep breathing, visualization and meditation are ideal ways to achieve migraines prevention.
Biofeedback for Preventing Migraines Biofeedback is a system in which people can learn how to control involuntary body functions.
Monitoring devices are used to take body function readings, and the individual then uses relaxation, breath control and concentration to alter the readings in a positive way.
In this way, the individual is able to learn how to reduce muscle tension, thus lowering the chances of migraines.
The Migraine Diet As migraine triggers are personal to each individual, it is not possible to devise a "one size fits all" diet for preventing migraines.
However, by eating healthily and regularly, avoiding foods containing preservatives, flavor enhancers or caffeine, the frequency of migraines can be greatly reduced and controlled.
By tracking the food triggers in your diary, avoidance becomes a matter of course.
It is plain to see that by making these simple changes to the modern day lifestyle, then migraines prevention is an achievable result.
Why live with the pain, discomfort and depression? Migraines can be prevented, controlled and treated.
