Question

Hello, Welcome to Lybrate. Hope my suggestion will help you to solve your brother's problem.
Look out these dietary management for him-
DO'S: Keep a diary to record when your headache occurs, symptoms, what you had eaten before the headache started, your food craving that that period, your sleep patterns, menstrual cycle and other factors. This will help you to find out what triggers your migraine, so that you can avoid that factor and prevent migraine. Consume plenty of water. During the attack a cold compressant may help you if your migraine is not caused by cold. Lie in a dark quite room without a pillow. Take complete bed rest with minimal light, noise and odors. Do regular exercise, it prevents migraine attacks. Get a regular massage around the neck and shoulders to relieve the tension in the muscles. Proper rest and sleep is needed for prevention of migraine attacks. Eat proper balanced diet. Eat at regular time. Eat frequent small meals and snacks through out the day, to maintain blood sugar levels. Eat high protein meals regularly. Avoid eating sweets. Eat organic food, fresh fruits and vegetables. Limit intake of fats. It should be below 30% of your total calorie intake. Increase intake of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 has tremendous effects on migraine. Especially the EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), it helps in production of thromboxane A3, which plays important role in controlling migraine, it makes the blood less sticky and thus blood flows with out resistance and it produces prostaglandins (a hormone like substance) that reduces inflammation of the blood vessels. Increase intake of omega 3 fatty acids and reduce intake of omega 6 fatty acids (ratio of 2: 1), omega 3 fatty acid has anti-inflammatory properties. Consume lots of vitamin B complex, helps to control blood sugars. They also help in release of energy which boosts up the immune system. Increase intake of iron, iron deficiency cause headaches. Calcium and vitamin D are helpful in reducing headaches especially headaches after menses. Increase intake of magnesium, magnesium deficiency causes spasms of muscles also of the smooth muscles in the lining of the blood vessels. Thus magnesium will relax the vessels in the blood vessels and allow the blood to flow freely. Sources of Vitamin A: all yellow fruits and vegetables contain Vitamin A. Meat, fish, kidney and liver, liver oils of fish like cod, shark are richest source of vitamin A Eat food rich in zinc: Consume carbohydrates with proteins. Limit intake of simple carbohydrates: sugar, all sugary foods, alcohol, soda etc. Take high fiber diet, take 12-20 gm of fiber - whole grains, bran, oat, green leafy vegetables, peas, beans, potatoes, raw vegetables, salads, dried fruits and fresh fruits. Eat fruits and vegetables with the skin. Include food rich in Vitamin E: Do not use Saridon everyday. It is not healthy.
If you have any query and need proper regular medicines, Please consult me privately because I am unable to ask question or reply more than once in open question. Thank you.
