Relevant options to enhance
your health

The American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) offers a free monthly Special Updates email report that includes a Featured Research item. The goal is to present research that may be relevant as you (and your healthcare support team) consider health-enhancing lifestyle and treatment options. Through the years AHHA has used a number of sources that generously provided us appropriate research to be included in the eReports. These sources were selected because of their known high standards for evaluating research. One source, Aisle 7, is unfortunately no longer in this database. The new parent company for Aisle 7 discontinued this project and according to our agreement AHHA was required to remove all of their articles.

Migraine - Exercise

A new study evaluated regular exercise as a beneficial option for those suffering from migraine headaches. Researchers assigned participants to one of three groups: exercise, relaxation therapy, or prescription drug. They found that all three treatments reduced the frequency of migraines with no significant difference in results between the groups. Imagine a walk around the block being as effective as a pill. If you suffer from migraines, consider adding regular exercise to your prevention program. Details are in the article “Exercise for Migraine Prevention” from the October, 2011, issue of Natural Standard’s Integrative Medicine Newsletter.
