Amazing Power of amino acids cont…

February 12th, 2010

Amino acid deficiency may be the result of protein malnutrition. Such deficiency is generally associated with a faulty diet, failure to digest or absorb adequately, stress conditions, infection, trauma, use of drugs, deficiency of other nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, and dysfunctions connected with the ageing process. Since amino acids perform such a major role in the structure and function of the body, in both health maintenance and disease, the importance of available tests to assess their relative presence cannot be underestimated. Tests not only disclose the nutritional and metabolic status of the patient, they also discover the effect of factors such as stress, trauma, and other drugs.
The deficiency conditions resulting from any of these causes can be corrected by supplementation of appropriate amino acids.

Preventing and Curing Migraine

December 7th, 2009

PREVENTING MIGRAINE :
The best way to prevent migraines is to learn what triggers (sets off) your migraines and then try to avoid these triggers. Take a break from activities that provoke a migraine, such as using the computer for a long time. If you know that certain foods trigger your migraines, try to avoid them. Some people find that cutting back on caffeine intake or drinking a lot of water can help prevent migraines. Keeping organized to lessen stress as well as regularly scheduled exercise can also help discourage these distracting headaches from disrupting one’s life. Whatever the cause of your migraine, do all you can to maintain a daily calendar that doesn’t overwhelm you and keeps your life in balance. Eat healthily and learn to relax. Be good to yourself to keep any migraines from controlling your life.

Non-medication therapies for migraine
Therapy that does not involve medications can provide symptomatic and preventative therapy. Using ice, biofeedback, and relaxation techniques may be helpful at stopping an attack once it has started. If possible, sleep is the best medicine.
Generally, leading a healthy life style with good nutrition, adequate water intake, sufficient sleep and exercise may be useful. Acupuncture has been suggested to be a useful non-medication therapy.

TREATMENTS AVAILABLE FOR MIGRAINE :
Migraines can be treated with 2 approaches: abortive and preventive.
- Abortive : The goal of abortive therapy is to prevent a migraine attack or to stop it once it starts. The prescribed medications stop a headache during its prodrome stage or once it has begun and may be taken as needed.
- Preventive : This type of treatment is considered if a migraineur has more than 1 migraine per week. The goal is to lessen the frequency and severity of the migraine attacks.
