PIONEER GROUP

Last week we learned that the rst part of a migraine was constriction of blood vessels in the brain. This change in our normal physiology has to have some trigger. Food, Toxins, Hormones are triggers to cause this change. Stress can have a huge impact on our general body chemistry and therefore is very important as we learn how to eliminate head pain. Stress is associated with what is called the Fight or Flight response in our body. When we sense danger, we are genetically programmed to respond to this danger by running to safety or ghting for our survival. Our pulse goes up. The blood pressure rises. Breathing rate increases. Blood sugar goes up. Muscles tense. Everything is preparing, getting ready to meet the challenge. The release of adrenalin causes vasoconstriction. As we know this vasoconstriction is part of the rst phase of a migraine. So every time we get stressed, we are right on the verge of triggering a migraine. Our body is designed to meet these Fight or Flight episodes and then recover. However when there is constant bombardment of our body by stressful events we sometimes begin to break down our genetically weakest system. So based on our genetic susceptibility, some of us will begin to have damage to certain parts of the brain caused by the effects of the Fight or Flight events. Stress causes the damage to the system and becomes part of the trigger that starts the chemical cascade in our body that presents as a migraine. Stress is a natural, normal part of being Human. We cannot really get away from it. So what do we do? We can learn to change how we respond to it. In the traditional medical world this is done with prescription medications that dampen our response to the stress triggers. In theory this is good, but in the long run, it does not work very well because people tend to get addicted to the medications. Then they have a new set of problems and stressors to deal with. The best way to deal with stress is to learn to change how our body reacts to the Fight or Flight triggers. When we have learned this, our automatic response to the stressful trigger is not an increase in blood pressure and pulse, but a calm, cool mind and body that can handle the situation without damage to the system. Learning basic relaxation and meditation techniques is where we should begin. Many years ago, I learned a few simple things and since then have studied much more advanced techniques. We suggest starting with a relaxation class or even a recording to begin to learn this process of calming the mind. Spend a little time each day in the morning or just before going to sleep practicing this process. It is as simple as sitting in a quiet comfortable place where you will not be disturbed for 10 or 15 minutes. Then close your eyes, inhale a deep breath and then as you exhale consciously feel your body relax. Mentally imagine you are at an ideal place of relaxation. This could be a place you have been before or a completely imaginary place. Our brain cannot tell the difference between actually being there and vividly imagining that you are there. Then daydream in this pleasant state of mind, relaxing both body and mind. Doing this regularly will replace stress chemistry with relaxation chemistry and will begin the repair process in our body. With practice our emergency response will be calm and resourceful instead of Fight or Flight and the frequency and intensity of the migraines will change and eventually disappear.

KEEP IT GOING: Regular servicing can help you keep your car in shape. (NAPSI Photo) n Check Oil Oil is the lifeblood of the engine. Engine oil level should be changed and replenished regularly. n Check All Fluid Levels Dirty or low fluids may affect the performance of a vehicle and can lead to breakdowns if not properly monitored and filled. n Check Engine Belts, Hoses and Fuel Filter Prevent breakdowns or serious engine damage and maximize fuel economy. n Check Battery Look for corroded terminals and inspect for a bulging or cracked case. n Check Shocks and Struts Theyre vital for a smooth ride and optimal handling and may affect other vehicle parts. n Check Wiper Blades Properly functioning wiper blades increase visibility. To alert you when its time for a change, Mopar all-season wiper blades feature an innovative wear indicator that gradually turns from black to green to yellow as the blades wear. Mopar is a contraction of MOtor and PARts. While its Chrysler Groups service, parts and customercare brand, an alliance with Magneti Marelli enables Chrysler Group dealerships to service vehicles for GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia.
