Migraines plague millions of people yearly and very few have a solid cure or prevention method.  New research now states that migraines can actually be prevented with good ‘ol fashion EXERCISE.  While the causes of migraines vary, the cure could all be the same.

85% of migraineurs could report something that triggers the migraine. These include weather (up to 50%), missing a meal (40%), stress (about 50%), alcohol (50%) and various types of food (45%). About 50% of women report menses as a trigger. A recent study showed that over 50% considered crying to be a trigger (source).

Drugs have helps many people control and prevent migraines.  Other natural cures are based around relaxation techniques.

40 minutes of exercise

Published in the journal Cephalalgia, the study involved 91 migraine patients, a third of whom were asked to exercise for 40 minutes three times a week under the supervision of a physiotherapist, with another third doing relaxation exercises, and the final third given topiramate. The study lasted for a total of three months, during which the patients’ migraine status, quality of life, aerobic capacity and level of phyical activity were evaluated before, during and after their treatment. Follow-ups were then carried out after three and six months.

Exercise just as effective

The results show that the number of migraines fell in all three groups. Interestingly, there was no difference in the preventative effect between the three treatments.

“Our conclusion is that exercise can act as an alternative to relaxations and topiramate when it comes to preventing migraines, and is particularly appropriate for patients who are unwilling or unable to take preventative medicines,” says Emma Varkey, the physiotherapist and doctoral student at the Sahlgrenska Academy who carried out the study (source).

We all know that medicine comes with a price.  There can be side affects, long term complications, and even irreversible damage if taken in access.  Finding a natural cure for migraines is key to improving ans sustaining your quality of life.  Exercise is isn’t just about vanity!  Fitness Tips like these transform a pain ridden life into a life worth living!

Neckline Slimmer Reviews On Amazon

does neckline slimmer really work Anonymous (Unknown) 1/14/2010 12:03 PM 8 years ago I gave birth to my first child, Hannah, a beatiful girl that I couldnt be more proud of! I am not sure if child birth was the cause, but since then I have exhibited signs of a “Tukey Neck” and suffer from low self esteem. About a month ago, I tried the Neckline Slimmer. To my surprise, I started seeing results in the first couple of weeks. I use the Neckline Slimmer every day, and have ever since I bought it. I believe consistency is the key to positive results so I would recommend to anyone looking to buy the Neckline Slimmer that they stick with Paul Younanes advice. Just 2-3 minutes per day will keep the turkey neck away! Thank you Paul, and thank you Neckline Silmmer for helping me look my best and reducing the appearance of my saggin neckline. -Janice Newark, NJ 133 of 150 people found the following review helpful:  So far NO good…, August 5, 2009 By Maury Ballstein “Jaginator” This review is from: Neckline Slimmer Resistance Toning System 1 kit (Misc.) First of all, I was smart enough not to order this directly from the manufacture’s website, so I wasn’t one of the many suckered into the “free” products (that you end up paying shipping for). This review is based solely on the product and its performance. So far, after a month of 2x daily use, I see zero results. I don’t believe the coils create enough resistance (yes, I put the strongest one in) and I feel nothing after my “work out”. To be fair, I believe it says something about results after 8 weeks, but I should be seeing or feeling a little something after a month of continuous use. I am not at all overweight, so the issue is not simply losing weight. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I would instead recommend some of the electronic facial muscle-stimulating products out there (the ones with two or 3 electrodes). These DO genuinely work, but are time consuming, as each treatment takes about 20 or so minutes. I will be going back to that, however, because at least I could see results. I will continue to use this and, if I see improvement, I will update this review. I’m certainly not holding my breath, however. 14 of 17 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, March 6, 2010 By Scottish Sweetheart (Chicago area) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) If you’re looking for the real Paul Younane Neckline Slimmer, beware of buying this item from Luxentia. The box and product are pretty good mockups, but nowhere contain the PY symbol, standing for Paul Younane. When I opened the box, it looked like the item had already been used or was in bad condition with dirt on it. Also, they sent an inferior pouch with it, again with no sign of the Paul Younane name. When you look at the photo of the item on Amazon, you can see that it is supposed to be the genuine article. Instead, I received a knockoff. Disappointing. I don’t blame Amazon as they gave me a refund.

Neckline Slimmer Anonymous (Unknown) 1/14/2010 12:02 PM I ordered a neckline slimmer and after a few weeks it was faulty . It was replaced quickly and i continued the exercises. I am 70 years old and although I didn’t take before pictures I can guarantee that my neck has certainly improved I don’t look thirty but my neck is taught and pretty young looking. I shall continue with it because it really works. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 stars sore, November 12, 2009 By Sheryl C.

Neckline Slimmer Anonymous (Unknown) 2/8/2010 12:32 PM Here is an As Seen On TV product that is not a disappointment in real life. The slimmer is good quality, and you can feel it working right away. My husband even said that he sees a little difference after only a few days of use.

As Seen On TV Neckline Slimmer Neck Exerciser Anonymous (Unknown) 9/2/2009 9:45 PM I found this product very good. On a personal level, it was the best for me. I am 72 years old and saw a difference in a few days. I would also recommend starting with the medium coil and exersing at least 2X a day, It only takes a few minutes. I would reccomend this product to any senior as the price will not break the bank. Also, you can use your own creams with it if you wish. Great product.

As Seen On TV Neckline Slimmer Neck Exerciser Anonymous (Unknown) 9/6/2009 2:32 PM I KEEP THIS IN MY WORK BAG. EVERY MORNING I USE THIS AT MY DESK. IT IS EASY TO USE. I GAVE IT ONLY 4 STARS BECAUSE I THINK IT COULD BE CHEAPER. THIS IS ALL PLASTIC. BUT THE KEY HERE IS TO USE IT EVERY DAY. GIVE IT A TRY AND GIVE IT TIME TO WORK. I LIKE ORDERING FROM AS SEEN ON TV GUYS. THE INFO COMMERCIAL MAKES YOU BUY CREAM WITH NO WAY TO TURN IT DOWN & THEY CHARGE EXTRA FOR IT. THIS WAS A VERY EASY PURCHASE. THANKS TV GUYS.  Well, it seems this product has mixed reviews.  If it does work then it’s a great alternative to plastic surgery.  If it doesn’t work then it’s just another waste of money.  Neck fat is a common problem that can sometimes be solved with simple weight loss.  Ask yourself if you really need it before you invest your hard earned cash!   Adria Ali
