Managing Migraines: Tips and Strategies

Study Notes

Proper hydration: Drinking at least 64 ounces of water daily, equivalent to eight glasses or two sports bottles, can help manage migraines.
Limit caffeine intake: Consume one or two caffeinated drinks daily and try to maintain a consistent intake time.
Sleep consistency: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night and maintain a regular sleep schedule, including weekends.
Regular meals: Avoid skipping meals and focus on three meals a day on a regular schedule.
Late dinners: Avoid late dinners as much as possible.
Exercise: Regular physical activity, such as a brisk 30-minute walk five days a week, can help reduce head pain and improve mood.
Relaxation techniques: Utilize relaxation techniques, biofeedback, or therapy to manage stress and its impact on migraines.
Consistency: Focus on making consistent changes to manage migraines, rather than trying to make large changes all at once.
