Ways to prevent headache

My husband let me read a health secrets book since I get headache more often. And I have learned some ways to prevent the attacts and this are the ff:
  • Maintain a regular schedule, eat at the same time each day. Keep consistent hours seven days a sweek.
  • Take vitamin supplements, Vitamin E consult the doctor for appropriate dosage.
  • Schedule "nurturing" time, anything you find enjoyable and relaxing.
  • Deep breathing: Loosen your clothing and sit in a quiet place.
  • Exercise regularly, physical activity relieves stress and boosts levels of endorphins, the body's pain-relieving chemicals.
And most likely the causes of this headache are the ff:
  • Alcohol (specially beer and red wine).
  • Erratic meal and/ or sleep schedules.
  • The artificial sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet).
  • The flavor enhancer monosudium glutamate ( MSG ).
  • Processed meats and other foods containing the preservatives nitrates or nitrities.
  • Aged cheeses, freshly baked bread, chopped liver and other foods that contain the amino acid tyramine....and chocolate, which contains phenylethylamine.
  • Perfume or cigaratte smoke.
  • Caffeine withdrawal. To avoid trouble, its best to have no more than one five-ounce cup of coffee a day.
  • Psychological stress. Most migraines occur when the period of stress is over.

I followed yesterday some ways to prevent headache and it seems to be working, im looking forward for more good effects. Because this headache is just killing me. For those having the same problem hope that you'll take your time to read this maybe this preventive way of headache will help you coz I know how bad the feelings of having headache (I hate it for sure).
