There is a big myth surrounding migraines and exercise.
According to scientific facts, exercises are known to promote regular release of endorphins.
Endorphins are our body's natural pain controllers.
But many people claim that they've experienced migraine attacks after physical exertion.
So who's right? The truth is quite contradictory as both groups are right.
Moderate exercise reduces the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
However, strenuous exercise can be dangerous.
In fact overtraining your body can cause an increase in migraines.
Even people who haven't experienced migraines can experience it.
Regular exercise increases your stamina, fitness levels and boosts your immune system as it relieves stress.
On the other hand, over training can make you feel sick and dizzy.
Most people believe exercise to be a headache trigger.
  Exercise can be migraine trigger only if: * You do not eat properly before exercising * You don't consume enough water while exercising * You over train without warming up In order to reduce your migraine attacks, you must perform moderate exercise every day.
  If you are taking martial arts classes of any kind, it is recommended that you attend these classes daily instead of attending them once a week.
Certain Martial Arts like Krav Maga are designed for the Elite and are hence strenuous.
Working out every day for 30 minutes is better than working out once a week for two hours.
Make sure you eat the right foods before you begin your exercise.
Do not eat anything heavy.
Avoid drinking milk before exercise.
  I recommend that you eat bananas before starting your exercise session.
