Migraine and cluster headache: Whatever the label, it is possible side effects and pain can be intense! In addition to traditional treatments help, such as "superfoods" as possible.
What are superfoods? Well, not only supplements - although some companies market supplements "extracted" from various superfoods started. By definition, whole foods or super foods are oils, which offer exceptionally high doses of nutrition. The people they call "Super" in part because oftheir benefits and in part to their origin. Most superfoods are not new, but is used by powerful ancient cultures and only recently rediscovered by the West. Although some scientists and many superfoods raw foodists claim with amazing regenerative abilities and protection for almost every health problem, this article describes super foods for special consideration to those who suffer from migraine or cluster headache.
Cocoa (cow-cow): Often marketed as raw cocoa orRaw chocolate, this "food of the gods" was in fact the official currency of the Aztec empire! Conventional wisdom says to avoid migraine triggers with chocolate as important. While some people have sensitivity to do the chocolate, the majority of people actually respond to the typical cheese and cooked refined sugar in the chocolate. However, the raw cocoa has seven times the antioxidants of the version cooked with milk and sugar indicted. Even more important is for people with migraineRaw cocoa contains one of the highest sources of magnesium in every kitchen. The magnesium acts as the equivalent of recreational soccer and helps balance the brain chemisty. In fact, many migraine sufferers are able to eliminate the headaches by eating large amounts of magnesium supplements. Magnesium can also be PMS, help another known trigger of migraine. In addition to magnesium, raw cocoa has caffeine (which seems to affect the body is less strong in its raw form). Some people withMigraine find that the judicious use of caffeine may cut headache before it becomes an episode in itself. Most prescription headache pills contain some form of caffeine. From the nutritional point of view of the raw cocoa is certainly better than a Pepsi! If you know that chocolate causes a reaction, skip the raw cocoa know, but it's worth it otherwise (delicious), to try. Add cocoa nibs or smoothies morning before making fudge or mixing the powder with coconut oil, agave syrup or rawHoney, and some of the super foods listed below. As with any new food, start small, so you can control your reactions.
Maca (MAH-kuh): Also known as "Peruvian Viagra" Maca is a root grown in the Andes at 14,000 feet. Despite his reputation as a male preserve men in their 80 Peru, Maca actually works as an adaptogen, which means that all balances hormones. If someone is too much estrogen, Maca works to lower estrogen levels. If someone else has too little estrogen,Maca helps the body to bring these levels back to optimum levels. Maca nourishes the adrenal glands, helping the body all the stress that often causes cluster headache and migraine. Maca grows in some of the most inhospitable conditions on earth, but has learned to thrive where other plants die. Natives believe that the root of this strength and adaptability consuming transfers to those who do: "You are what you eat!" Metaphysics aside, high mineral content of maca,B-vitamins, protein, fatty acids and plant sterols that allow the body where it needs help in reconstruction - good news for people who have headaches from stress or hormonal imbalance. Maca tastes a bit 'like radishes, so do not add too much too sweet smoothies. It goes particularly well with chocolate, though, and I always like a morning cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice in water with about a teaspooon Maca. The lemon brings sweetness hidden maca, what a surprisespicy lemonade.
Hemp: No, I'm not talking about marijuana, even though some people are so used cannabis for medical purposes. Now you can find hemp seeds, hemp butter, hemp protein powder and hemp oil in health food stores and natural alternative to many online stores.

Nevertheless, a great resurgence of hemp in recent years as people have rediscovered what the ancients knew long ago Europeans. Hemp supports the immune system and contains edestin, the protein more easily assimilated by the people - good news for people who have protein powder or soy milk (whey) is ready to respond. Cannabis seeds, butter and olive oil also contains the perfect ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, thought to help balance hormones and brain chemistry.Also, there is the green color of hemp from chlorophyll, which differs only by one atom of hemoglobin. (Forms of hemoglobin around an iron atom, while chlorophyll is formed around the magnesium atom economic.) Purify the blood with chlorophyll-rich foods such as hemp, wheat grass and green leafy vegetables, the body, which in turn helps alkalize stress reactions, such as migraine and cluster. hemp protein powder tastes a bit grainy ', but take the butter, oil seeds and pleasant,feeling of well-hazel combined with raw cacao and maca. You can also bulghur wheat (gluten is a major trigger of migraine) in foods like tabouli with hemp seed or hemp butter used as a substitute for other common nutrient trigger - peanut butter.
Yerba Mate (buh-YUR MAH-tay): For those who need to wean the coffee, but not just abandon her cup of Joe Tea, Yerba Mate is known provides a good substitute. Another highly mineralized SouthAmerican food, yerba mate somewhat similar to coffee, but instead of reducing the adrenal tastes, feeds them with B vitamins, 15 amino acids, 11 polyphenols (in green tea and red wine) and, you guessed it: more magnesium and chlorophyll . While the café offers a jolt of caffeine, the energy of the B-vitamins mateina mate is called blood-cleaning properties, and a component. Unlike caffeine, are mateina a lift without crashing. Some independent coffee houses hoursserve milk "mate latte" soy, or you can make tea at home. Boil for best results, warm, but not water, then let the tea for 5 minutes. You can then hemp milk and essential oils like peppermint with a touch of raw cocoa powder, creating your own peppermint mocha. Yerba Mate also beer and a tea terrace with orange peel or traditional chai tea spices.
