Health Tip: Prevent Headaches in Teens

Headaches are common among teenagers, whose busy and irregular schedules can be a prime factor.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests how teens can help prevent headaches:

• Get an appropriate amount of sleep each night.
• Eat meals on a consistent schedule.
• Get regular physical activity.
• Figure out any pattern of behavior that seems to trigger your headaches. If possible, avoid those activities.
