| Finally found out why I get a migraine after exercising in the evening
I suffer from migraines caused by all sorts of triggers. I go to the gym with my husband about once a week in the evening for a workout and then a relax in the pool and sauna. A couple of years ago I found that I would get a migraine after wards. Whereas if I went during the day I didn't. I tried drinking more, just working out and no sauna but I nearly always have a migraine.
However after finding out a bit more about how our bodies store energy in our liver and muscles and that fasting overnight depletes this energy I realised that after exercising in the evening I wasn't having anything to eat and so by morning my energy would be depleted and I'd get my migraine. Therefore I've started having a good snack after the gym and no migraine.
It's such a relief to have worked out what was causing my migraine even though it's taken me a long time. I just have to make sure I eat enough after exercise.
Aren't our bodies really strange sometimes? |
