How to prevent migraines? |

You can help prevent migraines with healthy lifestyle habits. Maintain consistent eating, sleeping and exercise schedules. It's also important that you learn, and then avoid, your migraine triggers.
1- Avoid Triggers. Identifying and then avoiding the triggers is the best thing you can do. See at the bottom for a complete list of triggers. 2- Get regular exercise. Exercise reduces tension, a common migraine trigger. Make sure to warm up slowly. Intense physical activity can cause headaches. 3- Lower your stress level. Stress can cause or aggravate migraines. Try meditation, biofeedback, or join a support group. 4- Maintain a daily routine. Getting the sleep you need(7 to 8 hours a night for most adults), and eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables can ward off migraines. 5- Quit smoking and caffeine. Smoking can cause headaches or make them worse. If you can't quit completely those items containing caffeine, then substitute them with those labeled as caffeine free. Such as caffeine free soda and caffeine free coffee. Me personally, like so much the soda. So I drink caffeine free diet soda.  |
