Migraine and Headaches

Among the most common triggers are dehydration (which constricts the brain’s blood vessels), accumulated stress — an invisible enemy — and excess sugar and refined carbohydrates, which cause sharp glucose spikes and drops and increase inflammation.

Medication offers temporary relief from the attack, but does not treat the underlying cause. It is the investment in lifestyle — balanced nutrition, regular exercise and stress management — that reduces the frequency and intensity of attacks in a sustained way.

In most cases, exercise is more friend than foe: it improves circulation, releases endorphins and helps manage stress. Prefer moderate-intensity activities — walking, swimming, yoga or light cycling —, stay well hydrated before, during and after, and prioritize consistency; intense effort without preparation can trigger attacks.
