Wellness Wednesday – Headaches

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

According to the CDC, the prevalence of headaches has increased by more than 60% in the last 30 years. YIKES!

Poor diet and lack of exercise play a huge role in why these statistics continue to increase. There are several different types of headaches; for example, tension, cluster, sinus, premenstrual migraine, common and classic migraines and rebound. Each one can present with slightly different signs and symptoms, but there are some common themes throughout all of these that may be triggers. These include:

- Low blood sugar
- Caffeine
- Poor eye sight
- Stress
- Poor posture
- High blood pressure
- Lack of exercise
- High tyramine diet
- Food allergies and sensitivities
- MSG
- Artificial sweeteners
- Refined carbohydrates
- Lack of sleep
- Dehydration
- and the list goes on…

Pain is our body’s way of letting us know something isn’t right. Most of us have a tendency to push minor pains aside until they get unbearable and/or impede on our daily activities. So be aware that a headache can be caused by many factors and should not be ignored.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

We saw this recipe for Banana Nice Cream on the Whole Foods blog the other day and thought it looked delicious and nutritious…a win, win! It would be a perfect after school snack or dessert…we might even try it for breakfast.
