Migraines are not just bad headaches!

Migraines are not a bad headache that people get somtimes in life, but in fact they are a disease that ultimately is not good for a persons life. This is a genetic disease that your parents pass onto you if they have the migraine disease. My mother has migraines all the time and so she has the disease, this ment that when I was born I had a 50% chance of getting that gene also. I was the unlucky one out of the children that has this gene and this is not a good gene to have. I actually just got better from having a migrane attack that only lasted about 6 hours this time. After i was sitting around trying not to do anything to set if off again, I thought to my self that i would learn more about this disease and so I found this site and decided to write about it on my blog.
"Migraine can induce a host of serious physical conditions: strokes, aneurysms, permanent visual loss, severe dental problems, coma and even death."
Apparently I have been given a gene that in the end could in fact cuase my early departure from this world. Just makes me happy to be here writing this paper and allowing you to know what a migraine really is.
"Migraine is disease, a headache is only a symptom. Migraine pain is caused by vasodilation in the cranial blood vessels (expansion of the blood vessels), while headache pain is caused by vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels). During a migraine, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain, i.e., neurogenic inflammation, exacerbates the pain. Therefore, medicine often prescribed to treat a headache, such as beta-blockers, dilate the blood vessels and therefore can make a Migraine worse.
Unlike a headache, the Migraine disease has many symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, auras (light spots), sensitivity to light and sound, numbness, difficulty in speech, and severe semihemispherical head pain. One Migraine attack alone can last for eight hours, several days, or even weeks."
Now that you know that this is more then just a bad headache, and what it does to somone then you should probably help somone out the next time they have a migraine. Not all of you probably get migraines but I am sure that you know people who get them, and so instead of telling them to calm down and take some advil or somthing. Turn down all sounds and lights and tell them to relax with their eyes closed and put a wet towel on their head that covers their temples also. This will be very helpful to that person and maybe they will recover faster then the regular duration times, which consist of atleast 8hours, to a few days, and even as long as a week.

Lost weight eating McDonalds

There is a man that ate Mcdonalds every meal for six months and he ended up loosing over eighty pounds and fourteen inches from his waste. The thing is that he did not just eat anything he wanted when he went there he only ate salads, wraps and apple dippers (not including the caramel). This is basically a lazy mans diet for those who dont want to put any effort into loosing weight so they just eat the so called healthy choices at a fast food restourant. The only reason this man lost weight was due to the fact that he was over one hundred pounds over weight in the first place and he just ate porportionate meals, which lowered his calories. This is not the way to go yes he did loose weight but his body is probably ruined due to the fact that he ate from McDonalds for six months. I decided to write about this story due to the fact that i thought it would amuse people like it did for me.

College drinking not so harmful (learn to love red wine).

There is an article that i found on the CNN website that interested me due to the fact that i am in college and i drink over five days a week and so i thought to my self what am i doing to my body for the future. in this article it starts off saying that while you are drinking excessively in college your are creating proteins in your heart that will hinder you in the later years of life. the only thing about that is that no one has done a study on the later facts of the protein produced, even though they have done the experiment on the college drinking by studying college students that drink excessively. the other side of this story is that a Dr. Robert Bonow, has thought differently and decided to find out more and in his studies he has found that older people produce those same proteins no matter what in the older ages of life. this statement I'm not going to lie it made me happy thinking that i was not harming my body at all seeing that later on in life i will produce the proteins anyways. anyways doctor found out that a person who drinks moderately throughout their life allows the heart to flush out the protein because the blood is thin and allows it to pass on. the other thing that was said was that a glass of wine a day gain you days of life in the end, and that the best wine is red wine it helps you produce other factors in your body to help you become healthy. so in the end of reading this article thinking that i was going to find out something that would make me realise that i was doing a bad thing drinking, but i found out that i should start drinking red wine. therefor i wont change the way i am right now because for right now i don't need to i am still young but later in life i will consider the term moderation and then i will become healthier.
title of the article is: College Drinking and Health Problems.
