Headache
Prevention
Now whatever is the
cause or whatever be the nature of the headache, most headaches
are preventable. There is no need to endure the pain when you
really have an option. Follow the tips given below and you will
be amazed to find that the prevention is actually in your
hands.
Headache
Prevention Tip #1.
Do not read when you
are lying down. The lying down posture is clearly not the best
position to read. It is a very common thing for a person to
flop down on the bed with a book and read it while lying down.
In fact, many people make it a habit to read for a few minutes
before going to sleep. Let us say it once and for all; it is
not good to read while you are lying down.
Headache
Prevention Tip #2.
If you must read,
prop up your head with at least two pillows. If you find it
impossible to read while you are in bed, the best thing that
you can do is prop up your head with a couple of pillows.
Pillows give support to your head and neck so that your head is
in a partially raised position. This will cause less harm to
your eyes and your head in general.
Headache
Prevention Tip #3.
You need a well lit
room to read. The lighting of your room too is very important.
A properly lighted room is what is required if you want to
read, do needlework or any other such fine activity. Again too
much light is just as bad as a dimly lit
room.
Headache
Prevention Tip #4.
The source of light
must preferably be behind your head. The source of light should
not come in front of your eyes but must be behind your head.
This is also true in the case of a computer as well. The source
of light should be from behind.
Headache
Prevention Tip #5.
Do not hold the book
too close to your eyes. This is some thing that happens when
you lei down to read. The book tends to move closer to your
eyes than intended. This is something that is bad for your
eyes. Your eye muscles have to strain a lot in order to focus
on nearer objects. The book should ideally be at the level of
your chest.

Factors
Arthritis: Wrong
posture can lead to arthritis in the neck
muscles. This upsets the regular supply
of blood and oxygen to the brain causing
migraines.
