9. Exercise
Exercising allows the body to release endorphins, which are hormones that reduce pain and boost pleasure. They are known as the body’s natural painkillers. Exercise can also reduce stress and help with sleep problems. Both stress and lack of sleep (or too much sleep) can trigger headaches. Getting regular exercise can lower your chances of getting headaches, and lessen the intensity of migraines. However, exercise can sometimes trigger migraines. This doesn’t mean that you should avoid exercise altogether. What you need is to have an exercise plan to prevent getting headaches while exercising.
The first step you could take is to make sure you’re well-hydrated before, during and after you exercise. Second, eat a sufficient amount of food about one hour and a half before you exercise to ensure you have enough energy, and to prevent your blood sugar level from dropping. Finally, don’t forget to warm up before you begin more intense exercise. You could do this by stretching, jogging, or walking slowly for a few minutes.
