5 Common Headache Triggers (TopHealth)
Headache sufferers spend more than $4 billion a year on over-the-counter pain relievers.
But prevention costs you NOTHING. What follows is the top five list of culprits:
1. Stress - DUH. Relief? Take 30 minutes a day to daydream, meditate or relax. And, the wonderful old stand by EXERCISE.
2. Eyestrain. Take occasional "eye breaks" by gazing out a window. And, since eye exams for those of us insured with The Medical Trust, get a annual eye exam, It costs you $0 in 2010.
3. Diet. Not the amount of food you eat but what is in the food you eat. Caffeine, red wine, processed meats, chocolate (Say it ain't so), cheese, citrus, lentils, snow peas.
4. Sitting, not that you sit alot, but how you sit, hunched over or talking on the phone a long time. This leads to tensed muscles and headaches. Stretch, shift, walk and talk.
5. Sleep, too little too much. Pay attention to your internal clock. Rise and retire at the same time each day.

Cash or Credit
Each issue of AARP Magazine has a feature called Ask Sid.
This month the question asked was "If I pay with cash more often, will I spend less?"
Chances are you'll spend less money if you use cash for your purchases rather than a credit card or gift certificate. According to a 2008 report in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, when you pay in cash and "can feel the outflow of money," you have a greater aversion to spending. In another study published in April, researchers found that the type of cash you carry also effects this "paid of paying." They reported that consumers are more hesitant to break a larger-denomination bill than to spend several smaller ones. In other words, you're more likely to want to hang onto a $20 bill than four $5 notes.
This is a piece of advice everyone needs to know and remember.
