Quick Headache Relief: Tips and Tricks

Minor occasional headaches happen to most of us, but serious, regular headaches are another matter altogether and can seriously interfere with your enjoyment of life. Here are ten tips for reducing your headache risk.

1. Identify your triggers. Keep track of your headaches in a headache diary, noting what you ate that day, what the weather was like, where you were, etc., to identify patterns. Once you know what triggers your headaches you can take steps to avoid them.
2. Reduce your stress. While avoiding stress completely is impossible, reducing its effects is not. Learn about biofeedback, purchase and play relaxation tapes, take long baths, get a massage — all things that can minimize the effects of stress on your body.
3. Stop smoking. Smoking is a risk factor for several kinds of headaches. Even breathing cigarette or cigar smoke can trigger a headache for some people.
4. Avoid too many OTC medications. If you take the maximum dosage of over-the-counter pain relievers for your headaches more than two or three times a week, you should talk to your doctor. Eventually, these medications will fail to relieve your pain. What's more, they can cause rebound headaches, which begin when the medication wears off.
5. Limit alcohol. If you drink, limit your intake to an occasional drink or two. Beer and red wine are particular headache triggers for many people.
6. Get regular sleep. Maintaining regular sleep habits (going to bed and getting up at the same time, even on weekends) is particularly important for migraine sufferers. Oversleeping can be a migraine trigger. Similarly, fatigue can cause tension headaches.
7. Eat regular meals. Missing a meal can trigger headaches for many. Eating a healthy diet rich in carbohydrates and low in fat and drinking plenty of water to keep well hydrated are also important.
8. Exercise regularly. Regular exercise, whether it's walking the dog or parking a distance from the mall, is an important stress reducer. Start gradually: a rigorous aerobic workout can induce headache if you haven't warmed up or aren't used to exercise.
9. Have your eyes checked. Staring at a computer screen all day can cause eyestrain, which can lead to tension-type headaches. Some people invest in a pair of glasses that provide optimal vision at the distance from the screen.
10. Sit up straight. Notice how you cradle the phone on your shoulder, how you carry your purse, how you sit behind the wheel of your car. Each of these can put undo strain on neck and shoulder muscles,

Things A Woman Cannot Resist In A Relationship

Things A Woman Can't Resist In A Relationship

Someone has rightly said women are full of mystery which you will never be able to understand, for the more you try to unfold the mystery, the more complex they are, and the more you will find yourself in a confused state. Women are indeed a very strange species. She can drive you out of your wits if you are not smart enough to deal with her.

Very often Women say something and probably mean a different thing. And you might end up thinking ‘what the heck does she really want?’ Men often decodes the wants and desire of the fairer sex into something like buying flowers for her, giving her gifts on every occasion, spending on her lavishly. But this is not what a relationship keeps going. Women want something more than that.

You often try hard to please your partner but may end up frustrated for she is not easy to please. And this may lead to a cracked relationship which is one of the major causes of divorce. So it is important, on the part of both the partners, to understand the needs and desire of one another to ensure a long lasting relationship. Read on to know what are the things, that binds a woman’s interest in a relationship.

Words, words and only sugar-coated words are not what the fairer sex wants from their men. They want to be loved and cared. Let her know that you love her and ensure her everyday. However this does not mean that you must say ‘I love you, honey’ everyday. Through your body language and gestures make her feel that you are being loved each day. Keep your relationship fresh and healthy intact with passion. Give her a surprise once a while, but not every now and then, as the excitement will wear off. You do not have to buy her an expensive gift or take her to dinner at an expensive restaurant. Make it simple and special. You can help her with the household chores or surprise her by cooking something special for her.

Make her feel special and wanted, let her know how special she is to you, the difference she made and the changes that she brought about, in your life.

Men often do not care about remembering birthdays and anniversaries. But women care a lot about these things. By being the first one to wish her on her birthday and anniversaries would make her feel special and important. So do not miss out.

Reach out to her whenever you are free, do not hear her when she speaks but listen to her and let her know that you value her a lot and cannot afford to lose her. Give her a warm hug instead of talking to her, this would serve the purpose.

Last but not the least, share your feelings with her, give her emotional support, hold her hands and let her feel the warmth of your presence, be truthful, for a woman can tolerate and forgive anything but lies. Do not give her a chance to complain.

Why do women prefer bad men?

Why do women prefer bad men?

Bad men, hmm…!!! What is your definition of a bad man? How do you differentiate nice men from bad ones? Stereotypically, we may define a bad man as one who is a rebel, arrogant, selfish, cocky, repulsive, abusive and mistreats women. While a nice man talks about all the goody-goody things of life and is a complete contrast to a bad man.

Despite this, why do most nice men fail to woo women? Bad men seem to be smarter in sweeping women off their feet. We often see a nice man finishing at last while approaching a woman for courtship. What is it that makes bad men score more than nice men when it comes to women’s preference?

What I personally feel is that it is not the stereotypical bad guy that women prefer to nice men. What we usually refer to a bad guy is one who is manly, masculine, adventurous, who knows how to get things done in his own way, one who doesn’t give in easily and who loves challenges. We are usually attracted to such kind of persona because we feel that we are being protected in their company.

Another quality that overwhelms us is their self-confidence. No matter where they are, how they look, their confidence reflects like a shining armor which makes women turn on. They are more assured and hold a high self-esteem which is comfortable with oneself.

As a woman, I would say that, we are quite considerate as far as looks are concerned but appearance, in particular, matters. And here bad guys fit the bill inherently. Their masculinity goes perfect with their confidence and indifferent attitude which women find irresistible. Their ‘leave it or take it’ attitude appeals to us all the more that’s why women often prefer bad men.

They are often full of unexplored mysteries which we find intriguing and pose as a challenge to us. In addition to this, they are adventurous and full of excitement which makes women crave for more and wanting to come back each time. Women love to explore and discover things about her man herself, rather than going through an open diary.

In spite of all the insecurities of being in love with a bad boy, we experience some kind of warmth and affection in his company. And his gut to fight for what he wants and to get it, makes him all the more attractive for we want our guy to fight for us, to defend and protect us.

We desire to be handled delicately which the bad guy seems to understand perfectly. Despite being a rebel, he knows how to get into the heart of a woman and get hold of the chords of her heart. He knows how to talk with them and pull the string at the right moment. That is why women always fall for the bad guys.

Myths about Relationship Compatibility

Myths about Relationship Compatibility

As Mignon McLaughlin aptly remarked "In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing." Hey! Hey! Hey! I am not going to teach you arithmetic, but understanding the Compatibility in a relationship is also not less than the technicalities of mathematics. What makes a couple look made for each other? How to be a perfect couple? What qualities are needed in a 100 % compatible pair? These are some of the basic questions that come into mind when we think about intricacies of Relationships. However, there are also many myths about the complexities of a perfect relationship. So, here are some strong myths for you:

(1.) A perfect Couple never fights: Well! The fact is that there are differences in every couple and disagreement is the part of the game. But what is more important is that a perfect couple never takes this fight on their Bed, as there is another battle to be fought. Compatible couples always have healthy differences between them and after a fight; the bond gets stronger and stronger.

(2.) Compatibility between two people is directly proportional to the astrological aspect of the stars in the sky: Just get this thought out of their head that astrology can predict the future of a couple and that too with 100% accuracy. Be rational and think with a cool head about how stars are going to predict about the course of life of your Spouse and you? You are here on the earth and they are far somewhere in the sky.

(3.) The Compatibility tests are of great use: this myth would be cleared when you will hear about a Sam and Marry. When they married they decided to give a compatibility test and the result was 98 %, which clearly indicated that they are made for each other. However, Sam was a Drunkard and within one year of their marriage their life was nothing short of hell. On their second marriage anniversary they decided to give another compatibility test now the result was 99% and the circumstances deteriorated further. On their third anniversary they gave another Compatibility test and this time the result was 100% and after a few weeks they got divorced. The incident is indeed hilarious and clears up any doubts about the effectiveness of these Tests.

(4.) Sex and Compatibility are not related: A Perfect couple completely understands the importance of their Sex life. The intimacy plays a significant role in building up an awesome chemistry. And the ever enticing Sex brings a couple that very close to each other that one can hear the heartbeat of the other. A Good Sex on the other hand further strengthens the relationship.

(5.) One just can’t do anything about it: Well! Again the fact is that one can definitely work to improve the compatibility of a relationship. Giving it up will make it more complex. Construction of a Compatible Relationship is like playing Chess and that too all alone. You have play from both the sides and even if you lose from one side, the other side makes you a winner.

I am sure that the above account has given you ample information about the qualities of a Perfect Couple and would help you in being not only a 100% made for each other but also 100% mad for each other compatible Pair. Just don’t forget these myths. Feel absolutely to share your precious comments.

Future Haunts the Couples in Live-in Relationship

The news may sound a bit awkward to thousands of couples loving every bit of their life by being in a live-in relationship but about 78% of couples in live-in relationship get goose bumps thinking about the future. Some couples tried to convince that they don’t want to think about the future and just want to love every bit of the present but most of them agreed that the thought of future haunts them. Most couples agreed that there has been a moment in their life when the future looked bleak and dreary.

A recent survey pointed out that working women feel more secure about the future as they can take care of their financial stability but admitted that from the emotional point of view, thinking about future is a bit scary. The survey also highlighted that the couples in a live-in relationship feel depressed whenever they think about the future and the percentage of women who feel depression is understandably more than that of men.
The problem with almost every live-in relationship is mainly the reluctance of the partner to get marry as he/she may feel that the one is compelling him/her which is not good for their present relationship. A woman has a fear that her man is not ready to get marry, on the other hand, a man feels that her partner is happy in such a relationship, so what’s the need to get marry! The same rule applies vice a versa but the percentage is not as high as it is the other way around. 95% of the men who are in a live-in relationship feel that live-in gives them an opportunity to build up a strong foundation for the future but blamed that the opposite sex for lacking the patience and feel comparatively more insecure about the future.

70% of the women in live-in believed that there should be more sense of responsibility in men towards this relationship. This highlights the fact that even in a live-in relationship women believe that they are the one who play an important role in the smooth sailing of their RelationShip and preventing it from sinking. 34% of the men in live-in admitted that they just don’t want to think about what’s in store for their relationship in future as it drives them towards smoking and drinking when the stress becomes unbearable. The survey also highlighted that about 65% of the couples in a live-in relationship think that marriage becomes important in case of the pregnancy and in that case they will or have to marry. However, 22% of the couples among them voiced their opinion that marriage is a fake term and the key of the future of their live-in relationship is in their own hands. All we can say is Amen!

Loving Two Women in Your Life At Once - Can you afford it?

A boy with an Ice cream in one hand and Chocolate in the other, Wow! It sounds interesting as both are sweet. But the point to be noted is that sometimes even the boy can’t afford both of them even if they are sweet. So let’s talk about other "sweets", Yes! You guessed it right the breathtaking and gorgeous women. So can you afford loving two women at a time??

Most of the men would boast about flirting with more than two women at a time, and also that the first thing that would come to mind of some incredibly crazy people after hearing this question is "SEX" but here the thing in question is "Love" and nothing else.

The question is very intriguing as loving two women at a time is like traveling on two boats simultaneously. But the amusing part is that both look very different and fabulous in their own way.

Suppose you somehow afford to love two women in your life at once and both are equally "sweet", then do you have the courage of confessing to any of the two, (forget about confessing to both of them), that how "full of love" you are?

Also what about the fear of getting caught by the "other one" and speaking very frankly! One cannot be truly in love with two people at the same time without any partiality.

The boy, with both hands busy with chocolate in one and an ice cream on the other was asked the question that can he afford to love Two Women In his life at Once? And his innocent reply was indeed thought provoking. He said "I love two women; one is my mom and second is my grandma".

So is it true that you can’t love two women at a time until and unless they are related to you like you can love your wife or your girlfriend and at the same time you can also love your daughter, or your Sister or your Mother or your Grandmother. A Man can definitely afford to love more than one woman but it is just not called love it is called affairs. By the way what is the need to afford two women at once when it is hard to afford even one?
