How is migraine different from other headaches?

Migraine is a neurological condition that is most commonly associated with a strong headache. Migraine causes debilitating throbbing and pulsating pain usually on one side of the head that can leave person in bed for days. It is due to the excessive stimulation of the nerves and blood vessels of the brain. Headache is episodic and often occurs with vomiting, nausea, photosensitivity (sensitive to light), tiredness, visual disturbances, numbness, tingling, irritability, temporary loss of vision and many more. The triggering factors may include movement, acidic stomach, constipation, light, sound etc. Many researches have shown that it is the most disabling disease in the world.

INTRODUCTION

Men are biologically designed weaker in comparison to women. On an average, men die five years earlier than their wives. Men care less about their health in comparison to women. They put their health at last. They think if they are playing their roles nicely in society, then they are healthy. They do not follow healthy lifestyle and do not go for regular health check-ups. They tend to drink more alcohol, consume tobacco and have unhealthy eating habits. This all make them more prone to health problems.

Some of the various health conditions which affect men are diabetes, heart problems, stroke, cancer, depression, etc. However, benign prostate enlargement and prostate cancer occur only in men. Many of the health problems are preventable if they do some of the dietary and lifestyle changes. Regular physical exercise, balanced diet, less alcohol consumption and regular health checkups can keep various diseases at bay.

SOME OF THE VARIOUS HEALTH CONCERNS RELATED TO MEN

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Atherosclerosis is the root cause of various other heart-related problems. Atherosclerosis is the hardening of arteries due to the deposition of cholesterol inside the walls of arteries. Cholesterol plaques are formed on the inner lining of arteries. This causes narrowing of the blood vessels leading to hypertension, blockage, stroke and heart attack. It is the one of the global health concern. The cholesterol plaque can get detached from the artery wall and can cause blockage in brain, heart or any other part of body. When the clot formation occurs in heart, it causes a heart attack.

Nearly 1 in 5 men die due to a cardiovascular disorder. Women have more amount of good cholesterol in their blood in comparison to men. So men need to take much care of themselves to reduce the risk of heart diseases.

With some of the following steps, cardiovascular diseases can be prevented:

Regular health check-ups
Regular cholesterol screening
Maintaining blood pressure
Regular physical exercise of near about 30 minutes a day
Stop cigarette smoking
Eat more fruits and vegetables

DIABETES

Diabetes is one of the major health concern now-a-days. It usually begins silently, with no symptoms at first. But the blood sugar levels increase with passing time leading to manifestation of the symptoms. Increased urination and thirst are the most common symptoms of diabetes. The increased level of glucose in blood act like a slow poison on the nerves and blood vessels. This leads to other health problems like heart attacks, blindness, stroke, kidney failure and amputations. Being overweight and bad eating habits are one of the most common cause of diabetes. So one should do regular physical exercise and eating healthy diet for maintaining weight.

SOURCES OF KETO DIET

WHAT IS KETO DIET?

Ketogenic diet is a diet which is very low in carbohydrates and rich in fats and proteins. It is very popular now-a-days as keto diet. It leads to drastic reduction of carbohydrates in body and usage of fat causing weight loss. The metabolism of fat increases and fats are converted into ketone bodies. This process is knows as ketosis. The fats are converted into ketones in liver and energy is supplied to the brain. The foods which contain large amounts of carbohydrates such as sugar, white bread, soda, pastries, etc. are avoided. Ketogenic diets significantly reduce blood sugar and insulin levels in blood. Earlier, this diet was used for the treatment of diabetes.

Paleo, South Beach and Dukan diets are other low-carb diets which are rich in high protein but moderate in fat content. However, keto diet consists of high amount of fat, typically 70% to 80% and moderate amount of protein. It has benefits for various health disorders like diabetes, cancer, alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, etc.

WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF WORKING OF KETO DIET?

In ketogenic diet, there is very less intake of carbohydrates and the body gets deprived of glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for all the cells in the body. Brain requires glucose in a constant manner. Near about 120 grams of glucose is required daily by the brain as it cannot store glucose. When a person does fasting or very low amount of sugar is present in blood, the body pulls glucose from the liver and temporarily breaks down muscle to release glucose. This happens during first 3 to 4 days and the stored glucose is fully depleted. The amount of insulin hormone also decreases. At this time, body starts using fat for energy production. This leads to production of ketone bodies in body and thus leads to ketosis.

In ketogenic diet, the glucose intake is reduced and body starts using fat as an energy source. During fasting and strenuous exercise, mild ketosis is experienced. The diet should be carefully followed and level of ketone bodies should be maintained upto a certain level.
