Overweight Teen Smokers More Likely to Have Migraines
Teens who smoke, get little exercise and are overweight are more likely to have another problem: frequent headaches, according to a new study published online in the journal Neurology. Teenagers with all three negative lifestyle factors are 3.4 times more likely to suffer from persistent headaches and migraines than those with none of them.
About 55 percent of those in all three categories had chronic headaches compared to 25 percent without any of those behaviors. Of course bad nutrition and weight gain also have physiological effects that can lead to health problems like migraines.
If you have to have some bad habits, it might be best not to have all three of these factors.

I don’t smoke when I was young, neither do I till now but I often experience having migraine. I understand that migraine is hereditary and I wanted to believe that it is. My mom and my two sisters have migraine attacks too. Much more when my monthly period is nearing, my migraine would then start. Unlike before the attacks were almost every week. I seldom have migraine attack nowadays when I started sipping a cup of warm Lipton tea almost everyday.
