Does Training Trigger Headaches?

By Athena Hunter


Everybody knows that training frequently is one of the things you must do if you want to lose weight. No matter what anyone says to you, you cannot merely lose weight by sitting around and watching television. What not a many people know, however, is that from time to time working out can literally be a pain. You're probably already prepared for items like muscle aches and backaches and joint pain but are you geared up for the exercise induced headache? Unfortunately a lot of people suffer from exercise induced headaches but, thankfully, there is plenty you can to do treat and prevent them. Here are a number of ways to accomplish that.

Drink plenty of water--you possibly already know that this is important to do regularly but it starts to get even more important when you exercise. Headaches tend to be a result of being dehydrated and dehydration really can occur after a workout, especially if you work up a good sweat (sweat drains the body's water). Drinking adequate water ahead of, during and after your workouts can do quite a lot to help you prevent the onset of a headache after your workout. This is typically usually all you'll do to heal any headaches that turn up a while after your workouts too.

Proper warm ups and also cool downs are extremely necessary. Just starting a exercise session can zap your system-blood will start rushing to the places you are working which takes it away from your brain and that can lead to the onset of a headache. Your brain needs time to adjust to the modifications and a complete warm up and cool down lets your body to make those changes gradually.

Practice correct breathing methods throughout your workouts and weight liftings. The brain demands continuous oxygen to be able to function correctly and to survive. Most people will hold their breath if they do something that is hard but all that does is lower the amount of oxygen that gets sent to your brain. By doing good breathing you keep the brain provided with ample oxygen which enable it to ward off headaches.

If you realize that the headaches are occurring on a regular basis and the things that you have been trying aren't helping you prevent them, you need to talk to your doctor. If your workouts or eating habits are contributing to your regular headaches then your medical professional will be able to help you figure this out. It is possible that you will need medication to keep the headaches away. Your doctor should be able to support you in finding a way to keep on working out and losing weight without having to deal with the headaches.

Nobody wants to have a headache; we do just about everything that we can imagine to keep them from happening to us. The best part is that there is no reason to simply suffer through them. With the proper prep and expertise you can prevent exercise induced headaches altogether.
