We all know that activity helps improve health in many ways, but new research is showing that lack of activity may be helping to cause some of our headaches.
A study done in Norway and published in the most recent issue of the journal Cephalalgia, looked at almost 70,000 people. The researchers found that those didn’t exercise had a much higher rate of headaches than those who did. How high? Fourteen percent higher.

It’s too bad that increasing activity doesn’t also help with migraines.
14% higher?! That is motivating.
