my headache tips

-cut back on caffeine, do it slowly. If you go cold turkey on caffeine, you can get some serious headaches

-watch the foods you eat, some of them can trigger headaches

-watch your posture. And if you sit in front of a computer and type all day, make sure your shoulders aren't turning in and tensing up.

-Go see the chiropracter! I love mine and I credit him for getting rid of my migraines.

-Try yoga, pilates or nia. Anything that keeps you loose and limber

Ditto -- good post!
