Relax, Revive, Rejuvenate: Reducing Tension Aches and Headaches

Tension aches and headaches are a big problem for many people, and they can interrupt life on a daily or weekly basis. Most people just take an over-the-counter pain relief medication to treat the aches and pains, but this is merely treating the pain, while eradicating the problem will take some deeper treatment. Taking over-the-counter pain relievers regularly on a long-term basis can have harmful side-effects to your digestive system. Here are a few remedies that can help eradicate muscle tension and headaches, when done proactively and over the course of time.

The MELT Method

The MELT Method is a low-impact exercise method that can offer lower back pain relief and joint pain relief. Joint pain and lower back pain can compound to cause tension headaches and general aches. It is a proactive approach to pain relief that will gradually reduce the pain you experience, when you do it regularly. The MELT Method brings balance back to your body by helping rehydrate connective tissue, enhancing body awareness, and decreasing stuck stress that builds up in your body during daily life.

Eating Well – and On Time

When your body is hungry, tension headaches are often a side-effect. Your body goes into survival mode when it doesn’t have enough food, and before you know it, all the muscles in your body are tense. If you already need neck pain relief due to muscle tension, hunger will only compound the problem and lead to severe headaches that can interrupt your daily rhythms. Keep some healthy snacks with you at all times, and eat small meals frequently throughout the day. Keeping your blood sugar balanced will also help you feel better throughout the day. Drink plenty of water as well.

Moving Around

For those of us who work desk jobs, sitting can take its toll and cause painful muscle tension and headaches. No matter how close your deadlines are or how focused your project is, it’s important to get up and walk around every 20-30 minutes. Walk to the printer, get up to get some water or a snack, or just stand and stretch. If you struggle to get out of the work zone long enough to remember to get up, just keep a large glass of water at your desk at all times. Drinking lots of water throughout the day will force you to have to get up to use the restroom.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
