Not only are they painful and distracting; they can hurt your productivity at home and at work, and in the worst cases, they can be absolutely debilitating.\u00a0 Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to drastically reduce your chances of getting one.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have some water instead of coffee \u2013 Did you know that most American adults suffer from mild dehydration? It\u2019s true. Coffee is the main culprit here, and one of the first warning signs of dehydration is a painful headache.<br \/>\nTry a simple alternation experiment. Drink one cup of coffee, and then an equal-sized cup of water before enjoying your next cup of coffee. It makes a huge difference!<\/li>\n<li>Catch some Z\u2019s \u2013 Your body needs an average of eight hours of sleep every night. Unfortunately, Americans average less than seven, and one of the side effects of chronic sleep deprivation is headache. This one\u2019s easy to fix. It simply requires that you make sleep a priority. Set a bed time designed to give you the eight hours your body needs and stick to it!<\/li>\n<li>Work on your posture \u2013 It pays to make note of how you sit when you spend long hours at your computer, and to make sure your monitor is elevated sufficiently that you\u2019re not spending the whole day looking down. Doing so can lead to awful headaches centered in the neck and the base of your skull, which are pure agony. Again, this one\u2019s very easy to fix!<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t stress! \u2013 Stress is one of the leading causes of headaches, so anything you can do to reduce it will go a long way toward reducing your risk of a headache. Fortunately, we know a lot about what causes stress: cortisol, your \u201cfight or flight\u201d hormone.<br \/>\nThe simplest way to reduce your cortisol levels is to spend fifteen minutes a day walking in the woods. Research has shown that doing so will lower your cortisol levels by as much as fifty percent. Even if you don\u2019t have any woods near you, a fifteen-minute walk in an urban setting will still lower your cortisol levels by up to 25 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, there\u2019s no way to completely banish headaches from your life, but by adopting these simple strategies, you can greatly reduce your risk of suffering one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-349\" src=\"http:\/\/radianthealth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prevent.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>Nobody likes having to endure headaches.
