Migraine

Although dehydration can occur any time of the year, we're starting into the time of year when it is more likely to occur.

Did you know that the human body is 65% water? Simply put, dehydration occurs as the result of excessive loss of water from the body, when we lose more water than we take in. It's a bit more complicated than that since the body loses valuable electrolytes as well. That's why sports drinks have become so popular; they replenish electrolytes as well as just fluid. Dehydration can be a major issue, both in and of itself and as a headache or Migraine trigger.

Let's take a look at dehydration, what it does to the body, how to treat it, and -- perhaps most importantly -- how to prevent it. Read Dehydration - An Avoidable Migraine Trigger.
