• Fat has 20% of your body weight.
• Vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates hold other 20% of your body weight.
Foods and beverages give the energy and nutrients required to maintain every system in the human body.

• Energy is the ability to do work.
• Energy is taken from every single bite of food no matter whether it gives nutrients or not.
• Kilojoules is the standard to measure the energy and calories of the food.

Chronic Migraine

Chronic Migraine is the term referred to headaches that have lasted more than three months. The pain is marked by frequent spills of headache on one side of the head. This is usually aggravated by stress and other triggers that vary from person to person. This is most common in professional people such as lawyers, scientists, and invariably it is women who are more prone to it than men.

Migraine headaches result from a combination of blood vessel enlargement and the release of chemicals from nerves that causes the sympathetic nervous system to respond with feeling of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.

Preventive treatments can be an important part which includes; medications, nutritional supplements, lifestyle alterations, such as increased exercise and avoidance of migraine triggers like acidity, sun exposure etc., there are people for whom conventional medicine fails. For such doctors may use Botox. The goals of preventive therapy are to reduce the frequency, painfulness, and/or duration of migraines, and to increase the effectiveness of abortive therapy. Another reason to pursue these goals is to avoid medication overuse headache (MOH),otherwise known as rebound headache.
