10 Tips For Preventing Headaches
by: Schmell Kopfs
Never look at the sun directly, especially between 7 am
in the morning and 4 pm in the evening. If you will be outside
during this time or driving, be sure to shield your eyes
in some manner.
While going outdoors during the summer, protect your eyes
using sunglasses. Sunglasses are the best protection that
you can give your eyes when you go out in the sun. The sun
beats down ultra violet and other harmful radiations. You
eyes need protection from these radiations because they
can cause serious damage to your eyes if they are directly
exposed to them.
Do not work continuously on your computer for more than
half an hour. This in fact is a very relative concept because
some people tire faster than other when working on the computer.
Computer screens emit radiation, so the less time in front
of the computer, the better.
If you feel that your eyes are under strain, take a break.
The best relaxation for your eyes is staring at a distant
object or just keeping them closed. Your eyes will give
you signs when they are under strain. You will find that
you are getting tired sooner, your eyes may start to water
or you might notice that you have to squint your eyes in
order to get a better view.
Never watch television while lying down. The best position
to watch television is sitting and your eyes should preferably
be at the level of the television screen.
Do not sit too close to your television set. Take care
to sit a considerable distance from the screen. It is easier
for your eyes to focus on the images that flash across your
TV screen. It is also less harmful for your eyes. The ideal
distance from your TV set is around five feet or more.
Try to blink deliberately while working on the computer.
When you work on the computer there is an increased tendency
to stare unblinkingly at the monitor. This especially true
if you are playing an exciting game. In such cases you should
make a conscious effort to blink your eyes.
Breathing exercises help you breathe better and release
the toxins in your brain. The human body takes in a lot
of toxic substances, both through the air and through food
and drink. Apart from this, various toxins are also released
in the body as a result of the various processes that are
going on. These toxins have to be released on a continuous
basis or else they will accumulate in the body with serious
results.
Use a pillow that is not too thick to rest your head. If
the pillow that you are using is too thick, you will be
straining you neck muscles when you are asleep. If the neck
muscles are taught for too long, they will become stiff
and this often precipitates as a headache.
Find out if you have any allergies. Allergies can cause
headaches. Some of us are allergic to specific substances
and these substances can trigger off a headache. It may
be certain odors or it might be a certain flavors. Each
time you get a headache just try and find out what triggered
it.
