Migraine Help is on the Way

30 million Americans deal with migraine headaches on a regular basis. 

1. Learn what triggers your migraines and try to avoid those items.  Triggers could include, but are not limited to, caffeine, red wine, chocolate, alcohol and more.

2. Get moving!  Exercise can help you to deal with your migraine headaches.  Use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, take breaks from stressful situations and learn to relax more.

3. Respond fast.  When a migraine strikes, you may find the best cure to be a nap in a quiet, dark room.  Biofeedback and massage can also help.

Pancreatic Cancer & Obesity

Obesity, as everyone knows, if not healthy.  What many people don’t know about obesity, however, is that it can actually increase your chance of getting certain types of cancer – namely pancreatic cancer.   

Research has shown that those who are overweight as teens or as young adults are at least twice as likely to develop pancreatic cancer as are people who have never been obese.

Flying Sick

Flying sick is no laughing matter.  Unfortunately, many people today have to make the decision about whether or not to fly sick since they don’t want to miss their trip, and they can’t afford to throw away the non-refundable ticket. 


Certainly, if you don’t think you’ll be able to get anything out of the trip, or you’re unable to walk a block or more, you should probably stay home.  If you have a terrible anxiety condition caused by flying, you might want to consider cancelling.  She says that 1 in 5 people suffer from this anxiety, and that it should be taken into consideration when planning a flight.

 “You’re best protected if you consider possible problems ahead of time,” she says, adding that flight or trip cancellation insurance should be considered. Note that many policies have exceptions for pre-existing conditions, so only a “cancel for any reason” policy is likely to cover an anxiety disorder.
