Hot Headlines: Vitamins for Headaches
About the Author: Sandra Kim Leong provides free research and special reports in her newsletters on the topics of Detox Diet and Natural Headache Remedies.
Vitamins and supplements for headache care is something that you can consider. One theory as to why you develop chronic headaches is because you are deficient in certain vitamins. Normally, you should get all your nutrition from the foods that you eat. However, there are times when you do not eat enough of the right foods. Vitamins and supplements for headache care are known to include B2 (Riboflavin), B6 (Pyridoxine), Calcium and Magnesium.
Magnesium is one the many headache pain treatment products, is well known. Studies have shown that if you suffer from migraines you probably do not have enough of this mineral in your brain. Magnesium is needed for the proper performance of serotonin. Magnesium also affects your arteries.
When your body is low in this headache pain treatment product your arteries will constrict more. Hence, taking more magnesium is a good idea. You can do this by eating more dark green leafy vegetables, whole grains, seafood, beans and nuts. You need to be careful though because some of these foods, like nuts, can also trigger headaches. For this reason it may be easier to take a Magnesium supplement instead.
Calcium is another mineral that can be found in dark green leafy vegetables. You can also get more calcium by eating more dairy products and seafood. If you are taking Magnesium supplements and decide to take Calcium supplements too then you should know that you cannot take them at the same time of the day because Calcium can block the body's ability to properly absorb Magnesium. Therefore you should not take both Calcium and Magnesium at the same go but rather, to take one in the morning and the other in the evening.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) and Vitamin B6 have been proven headache pain treatment products that will reduce the number of migraines you will have. While you may prefer to take a B complex supplement, be aware that the other B vitamins are not proven headache pain treatment products. Still, it is important to know that the other B vitamins do lessen the risk of stroke.
It is best that you ask your doctor how safe it is for you to consume vitamin and mineral supplements for a prolonged period of time. Experts differ in their opinions about this. In fact, there are some doctors who only recommend a period of 6 months as they claim that they do not know what side effects you may encounter for any period longer that.

Healthy Humor
A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, "You can't bring that dog in here."
"You don't understand," says the man. "This is no regular dog, he can talk."
"Listen, pal," says the bartender. "If that dog can talk, I'll give you a hundred bucks."
The man puts the dog on a stool, and asks him, "What's on top of a house?"
"Roof!"
"Right. And what's on the outside of a tree?"
"Bark!"
"And who's the greatest baseball player of all time?"
"Ruth!"
"I guess you've heard enough," says the man. "I'll take the hundred in twenties."
The bartender is furious. "Listen, pal," he says, "get out of here before I belt you."
As soon as they're on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, "Do you think I should have said DiMaggio?"

Ask the Expert: Lower Back Pain
by Dr. Daniel Gerwig
Q: I have lower back pain almost every day, what can I do to get rid of it?
A: Lower Back Pain can be one of the most debilitating pains we can have. When your back hurts, it can prevent you from walking, sleeping or doing your normal daily activities. Whenever I have a patient with lower back pain, the first thing is to find out what is causing it. There are numerous structures within the back that can create the pain we feel, so we need to find out the culprit before we can begin the healing process. Once we finish the examination and know what is going on we can develop a personalized treatment protocol designed to fix the problem. If you are having low back pain, I am giving a free seminar Thursday July 26th at 7:00 PM where I will present the most detailed up to date information on lower back pain, its prevention and cure. Please call (630) 790-1422 to reserve your seat today.
Dr. Daniel Gerwig is a sports injury expert and can answer any questions at his office, call him at (630) 790-1422 today.
