Health Tips

 

Mark's care can help relieve a headache.

Tension headaches don't always start inside your head. Any strain on your neck muscles (like bad posture, staring down at a laptop, sleeping on a plane) can also turn into a headache. Remind your spouse about this the next time you ask for a massage.

There are lots of other ways to help prevent a headache, too:

Drink water. Dehydration can cause headaches, so be sure you get the recommended eight glasses of water a day. You may need even more if you exercise a lot or if it's hot outside.

Sit up straight. Poor posture can strain your back and neck muscles and lead to a headache. (Looks like mom was right, after all.)

Eat regularly. Skipping meals can be a cause of headaches, especially if you go without food for 5 waking hours or 13 nighttime hours.
