MIGRAINE: LIFESTYLE CHANGES
….. .
.
Migraines 
are a common disorder…I’ll make a video later so it’s easily digestible…feel free to share with someone if you find this useful information…
.
Lifestyle modifications are essential. You can have the best medicine 
in the world 
but if you’re doing the same things that trigger it or make it worse it won’t get better…
.
Here are a few lifestyle changes that can help:
.
.
1. Stop all caffeine 
if it’s a lot cut it in half stop next week…
.
2. Get 6-8 hours continuous sleep
at night. (See my sleep post why it’s important and why you need it at night and has to be continuous)…
.
3. Avoid stress…do things you enjoy, meditation, tai chi & yoga 
are great stress busters!…
.
4. Eat 
3x a day. Low glucose makes it worse…
.
5. Keep 
hydrated…don’t overdo it with water your sodium might go down try fluids with electrolytes like Gatorade…
.
6. Keep a food
diary see what days you eat certain food on the days you get headaches… common are hotdogs, wine
, cheese sometimes fish….
