Studies have shown magnesium helps prevent migraines. I hardly ever get them since I’ve started taking it. Studies have also shown it can help prevent type 2 diabeties.

I used to suffer from migraines also.I have eliminated all fake sugar(aspartme) foods such as diet soads, sugar free gums and the headaches stopped the next day. I happen to love those things and so every once in a while I have some, but the migraines return in 1 to 2 days.

I do not have migraines, but I heard an excellent story on National Public Radio about treating migraines through diet instead of medication. Here's the link to the story on their website: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5364970

On a serious note tho, absolutely bloody brilliant!!!!!!! @ the blood pressure.

Maybe you should take that winner lap…

I also had migraines and found that they were triggered from CAFFEINE. It was really hard but I slowly nursed myself off diet sodas, and then coffee. Now I get maybe two a year as opposed to once a week.

If you are a diet soda consumer, I bet that’s what it is.

Hi Pastaqueen :)

Oh do you know how to write!

I’m happy for you that your BP was so normal. I use the word loosely I promise you I do. ;)

Your BP story literally made me chuckle out loud.

You have inspired me as well….I just ordered the South Beach Diet book from Amazon.com.

Lora – As long as I stay on the pills, I don’t have the headaches. Though I think if I eat a lot of chocolate it can trigger one. I do drink a lot of caffeine (diet sodas) so maybe that is helping too. I’ve never been hospitalized for them though, so I feel bad for your sister!

Ack! My comment got eaten!

I love the game idea! (the short version of my previous longer and *hilarious* comment) ;)

Congrats on the healthy blood pressure!
