HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Stop your next migraine before it starts
Medication is a proven way to treat and prevent migraines, but that's only part of the story. These healthy habits can sometimes stop migraine pain before it starts:
- Establish regular sleep hours. Take time to unwind at the end of the day. If you can't fall asleep, read or do another quiet activity until you become drowsy.
- Eat at about the same time every day. Avoid foods that seem to trigger migraines.
- Exercise regularly.
- Keep stress under control.
