Natural Ways to Prevent and Treat Headaches
Take computer breaks
Eyestrain on its own isn’t usually a cause of bad headaches, says Dr.
Loder, but she believes that spending long hours in front of a computer
can make people more susceptible to them. "It hasn't been well studied,
but having talked with many patients, I believe that very prolonged and
intense periods of mental concentration can contribute to headaches,"
she says. Paying attention to ergonomics at your workspace can help
reduce strain on the neck, she says, and taking frequent breaks—every 30
minutes or so, to stretch and look away from your computer screen—can
reduce eyestrain and muscle stiffness.
