Headches are no fun

Eat for the health of it.

Are you bothered with headaches? Truthfully, I am not, but I have a friend that has them all the time. She takes so many pills, I think she really depends on them now. Some people get headaches when they are stressed, some maybe just riding in a car, especially in the mountains. Taking feverfew that contains parthenolides, the constituant that is in feverfew, helps. It appears to affect serotonin levels. Follow the directions on the label.

Just for the record, I am wondering if feverfew would also help a person with Bipolar dissorder. I know that Bipolar dissorder has something to do with low levels of serotonin. I will have to check this out. I know someone with bipolar dissorder.

Another suggestion for headaches is peppermint. Take peppermint oil and an equal amount of rubbing alcohol,mix together, use only one or two drops on your forehead and temples,wait for 15 minutes then massage the area for three minutes. Repeat three times a day.

If you take the time to figure it all out, you may discover that your main problem is eating foods with additives like MSG,HFCS, Aspartame, Splenda, Chlorine and other food additives, these are all chemicals and your body does not want them in there.

You may have to keep a record of what you eat and when you get these headaches. Unfortunately some people are allergic to natural foods too, like wheat, peanuts, eggs and soy products. But most of the time the allergies are related to chemicals that are added to food.

You need to call your doctor if you have headaches a lot, or if you have severe headaches or vomiting, stiffness, double vision or any sudden severe pain.

Eat all natural as much as you can. Natural foods are more satisfying and nutritious.

Laughter is healthy:

Four friends always spent a few days together- shopping, casino, massages etc.. After all the planning, two days before they were to leave, Margie, breaks the news that her husband did not want her to go.
2 days later the other three arrive at the Hotel and there sitting at the bar was, Margie, having had a few drinks, the other three asked, "How long have you been here?".

Margie answered,"Since last night. Yesterday my husband led me to the bedroom where he had scented candles all over the room, rose petals spread throughout the bedroom and on the bed and he had a pair of handcuffs and a rope. He told me to tie and handcuff him to the bed, so I did, and then he told me to do whatever I wanted to do, so here I am."
