من طرف Do you ever skip lunch? Or sleep late on Sundays? You may be setting yourself up for the misery of a head-pounder. Learn about these and other lesser-known factors that can lead to a hellish headache.
Skipping a meal is a risky move for migraine sufferers. Experts aren't sure exactly why, but it could affect the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that governs your body clock; and fMRI research has shown that the hypothalamus lights up when a person is having a migraine attack. It's also possible that a drop in blood sugar could set off an attack, says Dr. Peterlin, who points to a 2014 study that found that migraine-prone adults were 40% less likely to get a headache if they had a bedtime snack the night before. Either way, try to eat regularly to keep migraines at bay
