[H1536]How To Reduce Sodium

by Lauren B. Wallace, Lau

Most of us deal with headaches occasionally while others experience headaches more frequently. There are many reasons why people get headaches. It is rather difficult to pinpoint to a single reason behind headaches. However, one area that may be worth discussing is nutrition. Your diet has a major impact upon the frequency of your headaches.

There are several areas of your diet which may be affecting/causing your headaches. First of all it is important not to skip meals and to remain hydrated. Skipping meals in self explanatory, as for hydration, it is important to avoid drinks that dehydrate. Drinks that dehydrate contain alcohol and caffeine, so if you think you are getting plenty of hydration as you drink a caffeine loaded soda you are wrong. If you want to make sure that you stay hydrated, drink plenty of water. And if you have to drink caffeine products, be sure to keep your caffeine intake moderate and consistent.

Another thing to avoid is a diet high in fat. Sometimes a diet high in fat can trigger recurring headaches and migraines. It has also been said that a diet rich in magnesium foods can aid in reducing hormonal headaches. Some foods rich in magnesium include: almonds, whole grain bagels, black- eyed peas, bran cereal with raisins, brown rice and cashews. But once again, it is difficult to pinpoint as to what products trigger headaches. Each person is different so the only way that you may be able to recognize what is causing your headaches is by keeping a headache and diet diary. If you suffer from headaches frequently, take the time to write down your daily meals regardless if you had a headache or not. This way, on the days you had the headaches you may be able to figure out a pattern of problem foods. Give it a try, it will only take a few minutes a day and it could be the cure you have been looking for.

Mold can get on just about anything in your home that is made of organic material, but the majority of people do not realize just what all they can do to help prevent this. From clothes to furniture to baby bottles, anything that you own that is wet or in an area of your home with high humidity can become a breeding ground for mold, but there are a few things that you can do to stop this from happening as long as you are consistent in your efforts.

One thing that you can do is clean up any spills of water or leaks in your home as soon as they happen. Keeping rooms dry in this regard will help the humidity level in your house a lot and keeping humidity down is one way to fight mold. Many people think that mold growth is only caused by standing water or leaky plumbing, but it can also be caused by high humidity and this is the most common cause of it.

If you have humidity problems in the basement, you can install a dehumidifier to assist with this problem and if you have this problem in the kitchen or the bathroom, installing an exhaust fan for a couple hundred dollars will also help.

If you have oddly shaped glasses or baby bottles and they become molded after you wash them because you cannot dry them out completely, the solution to this is simple. All you have to do after you wash them is dry them the best that you can and put them in the freezer until you need them again. This will prevent mold from growing on them.

Carpet also collects mold spores and will become molded over time, especially if it becomes wet. This is something that should never be found in the bathroom or the kitchen, due to the naturally wet environment in these areas.

One thing that you can do to reduce the amount of mold spores and other debris in the air is purchasing a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter in it. This filters most of these particles out of the air and captures them very effectively, but you can go a step further by purchasing a HEPA air purifying system for your home. Make sure you purchase one that can handle the size of your home, though, or it will not completely do the job you purchased it for.
