This Vitamin Deficiency Causes Migraines And Headaches (And Here Is How To Fix It)

Migraine is affecting millions of people both men and women worldwide, and it is estimated that about 20 million migraine attacks occur daily. The pain can last a few hours or even several days. Very little is known about migraine and there are no particular medical treatments. Doctors believe that the causes are usually genetic, environmental or neurological which can be different for each person. Every person who suffers from migraines experiences different symptoms which include throbbing, searing pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, sensitivity to light, sound and smells etc.

Causes of migraines

Numerous theories exist about what causes migraines and there is not just one that explains the cause for everyone. Some of the theories include:

• Changes in the brain chemical serotonin

When the levels of this chemical drop they cause blood vessels in the brain to become swollen and inflamed thus leading to migraine.

• Vascular constriction in the brain

It starts with just one blood vessel which is followed by dilation and stretching of more vessels which causes pain.

• Excessive blood flow to the brain

Contradicting the previous theory, it has been discovered that migraines can even be caused by increased blood flow of about 300%. Still, even when the attack is in full swing the blood circulation may seem normal afterwards.

• Neurological disorders

These include disorders involving nerve cell activity in the brain. Neurotransmitters in the brain can stimulate the trigeminal nerves which starts a chain reaction that results with pain signals.

• Nervous system disorder starting in the brain stem

The brain stem is a control center which regulates several body functions that are symptoms of a migraine attack such as perception of light, noise and smell, blood flow in the brain, pain sensitivity etc. It has been discovered that three clusters of cells in the brain stem get active during and after a migraine attack and according to a hypothesis the abnormal activity of these cells is what causes the pain.

• Disruption of subtle energies that flow in the body

The disruption of these energies as well as unresolved emotional issues may result in headaches and migraine.

• Mutation or dysfunction of certain genes

Migraines due to vitamin deficiency

A recent study has discovered that taking supplements with vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid can reduce the occurrence of migraines within 6 months. Older studies have also reported that taking high doses of B2 (riboflavin) can also prevent migraines.

The vitamins B6 and B12 are very important for reducing homocyeteine levels. These levels can increase due to certain gene mutations and according to the type of the genotype different doses of these vitamins are needed. Professor Lyn Griffiths said:

Here’s What Your Thumb Reveals About Your Personality.

Hold out your thumb and point it upward as if giving the thumbs up sign. Check the angle of the thumb. Is it standing straight or does it curve?

This says something about your personality.

STRAIGHT THUMB

Some people have a straight thumb when they give a thumbs up. There’s no bend to the bones at all, and the thumb doesn’t even slightly retract backwards over the knuckle.

The straight thumb could mean that you’re a more serious person than most. Though you don’t show your excitability, it doesn’t mean you’re a downer.

CROOKED THUMB

Then, we’ve got the crooked thumb. As you can see, the back of it curves. It can curve a lot or a little, depending on the person.

A crooked thumb mean you are so much expressive you want to express your feelings with all and put yours thought out.

OBTUSE ANGLE

A person whose thumb makes an obtuse angle with the index finger is a gem. Such thumbs are well-built, long and lean. They are called tender thumbs. People who have such thumbs are calm and thoughtful. They usually make great artists and musicians.

THE FIRST HALF IS LONGER THAN THE SECOND HALF

Unlike the fingers, your thumb is divided into parts. Now if your first half/upper phalange (biological term for bones of the fingers and thumbs) is longer than the second phalange, then you are driven by a strong sense of will power.

Check your thumb, because this means that you are a hard-working person with an iron will! In matters of love, you are 100% dedicated, and you are extremely faithfull.

THE SECOND HALF IS LONGER THAN THE FIRST HALF

If the second half is longer than the first one, then you make all your decisions based on logic, instead of will power. You tend to restrain yourself when it comes to falling and feeling in love, and as a result you may miss out on dome golden opportunities to find a suitable life partner.

Try overcoming this issue, if you want to find love, just listen to your and let logic a back-seat for once.

So which type do you have? Are you the seriously straight-thumbed type, or the animated, curved, life of the thumb party?
