EXERCISES CAN HELP IN MANAGING HEADACHE


Exercises can help in managing headache. Exercise can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches by reducing stress and tension in the body, improving blood flow, and releasing endorphins, which are natural painkillers. However, it's important to start gradually and avoid overexertion, which can trigger headaches. Certain types of exercise, such as yoga, Pilates, and low-impact aerobic exercise, may be particularly helpful in managing headaches. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and maintain good posture during exercise to minimize the risk of triggering a headache.
