I was recently reading about a couple tips to reduce headaches through cutting back (or out) certain foods that may aggravate your headache. I know headaches are a serious pain and I am thankful I don’t suffer too often. Getting plenty of quality sleep – you should strive to go to bed before 10pm! I know some of my friends who stay up past midnight every night, that may be cool because you’re not missing your favorite late night show or you’re really into a new book but it won’t do any favors for headache prevention. Also, drink a lot (I mean, a lot) of water. Most people are actually dehydrated. Make a point to drink 64oz or more a day. In addition to sleep and water, here are a few extra tips that you may or may not know about.

Do you like jumping? Remember being a kid and pretending you were a rabbit and jumping around? At least, I remember doing that or jumping on a pogo ball or a pogo stick? It was a fun activity! But, did you know that jumping is an incredible workout? It’s a great cardio workout, it’s easy on the joints and it works to stimulate lymphatic flow, which increases our immunity.

Effective September 2012 if you “do business in Texas” - whatever that means - and you have a data breach involving personal information, PI, and fail to notify the affected individuals “as quickly as possible” you are open for a $100/day/Individual fine up to $250,000! The infraction is a misdemeanor unless the information is Personal Health Information, PHI, and then the offense can be a felony! Yikes! H.B No 300, adds some serious teeth to their mandatory notification disclosure law.
