Exercise
No matter the severity or symptoms associated with migraines, regular physical exercise and staying fit is still an integral part of overall health. Exercise helps manage and decrease weight – contributing to headaches – while providing mental benefits like stress reduction.
A key to successful migraine management is selecting low-impact exercises, since higher intensity workouts may trigger migraines in certain individuals. Also consider any sensory triggers like loud music at the gym or bright sunlight during outdoor activities that could potentially set off migraine attacks and plan accordingly.
As well as choosing an effective exercise routine, make sure that you refuel with nutritious food and beverages to have enough energy for your workouts. On days when migraine symptoms flare up, consider reaching out to family and friends for motivation; virtual workout sessions online could also provide added support when staying on track can be difficult; finally try lower back stretching exercises that relieve tension from shoulders and neck muscles: Start on all fours with hands shoulder width apart and knees hip width apart before initiating this type of stretching sequence.
