Life is like a journey of vertigo—you never know where the next stop will be. As the pace of life accelerates, irregular schedules and unhealthy eating habits are becoming more common, leading to a rise in the number of people experiencing vertigo. Unfortunately, many do not take it seriously enough.
Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or the illusion of movement, often caused by issues within the inner ear. Among the various types of vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common. In everyday life, certain factors related to diet, sleep, and exhaustion can trigger vertigo.
Dietary Triggers of Vertigo:
Alcohol: Alcohol can cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Excessive drinking can significantly damage the vestibular system, leading to symptoms such as alcohol-induced nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance.
Caffeine and Cocoa: Both contain stimulants like caffeine or theobromine, which excite the central nervous system and can induce vertigo by affecting the vascular system and vestibular blood flow.
Tea: Tea contains both theophylline and caffeine, and the caffeine content is even higher in strong tea. Excessive tea drinking or consuming highly concentrated tea may trigger vertigo symptoms.
Sleep and Vertigo:
Lack of sleep caused by staying up late can result in excessive brain fatigue and tension, which may affect brain function. Over time, this can cause cerebral vasospasms, leading to insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the brain, triggering vertigo. Symptoms can also include dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and mental fatigue.
Fatigue and Vertigo:
Typically, after prolonged mental exertion or excessive physical labor, the body and mind experience significant depletion. This may trigger protective signals from the brain, such as dizziness and drowsiness.
Preventing Vertigo:
To avoid the triggers of vertigo, we must adjust our lifestyles and maintain healthy habits:
Balanced Diet: Avoid consuming foods that may induce vertigo, reduce alcohol intake, and limit the consumption of caffeine, cocoa, and tea.
Maintain a Healthy Routine: Establish good sleeping habits, avoid emotional stress, and refrain from overworking.
Balanced Rest and Activity: As the old saying goes,“Proper relaxation after work leads to better balance.” Balancing tension and relaxation helps prevent fatigue.
Avoid Sudden Movements: Avoid prolonged standing, sudden movements, or rapid head turns, and protect yourself from strong lights and loud noises.
Regular Exercise: Moderate exercise can improve vestibular function, reducing the likelihood of vertigo.
