Did you know that headaches affect about 90% of all men and 95% of all women? For something so common, you would think researchers would find some way to prevent them.

All kinds of pains are bad. But there is nothing as mentally exhausting as a headache. I know this personally, as I get at least one migraine headache each month. It wipes me out while I have it and takes at least two days to recover my energy when it is gone.

Headaches affect our well-being, our productivity and even our social existence. After a headache we feel mentally drained and physically exhausted. But then we come to the interesting question, should a bad headache keep a good man (or woman) down? To find a solution to this question, it is important that we understand more about headaches.

Headaches are of different types. They can be identified as headaches due to migraine, sinus and tension. Now these headaches are very different but they do affect the same part that is the head in general. So if we understand more about them we can reach an interesting conclusion.

And you know what that is? Headaches are largely preventable. Of course there are a lot of cures available over the counter now but do we really have to wait for the headache to start to resort to treatment? Isn’t prevention better than cure? Isn’t it better to be proactive than reactive?

In the next few posts I’m going to give some tips on how to prevent headaches, as well as an explanation of the different types of headaches.
