Health in your hands with Gupz and Ruhila on 'The Rush' on East FM

Gupz and Ruhila have been helping you take back your health in your hands on 'The Rush' on East FM, Kenya's Premier Asian Mix. We have given each other a goal to see who will have lost the most weight by the end of the year!

So this weekend a very good friend of mine was experiencing some truly bad migraines and being the dedicated journalists we are we decided to investigate what causes these migraines:



Here are the top triggers (of course there are more, so kindly consult your doctor but these are the ones Gupz and I Found):
-Bright lights
-perfume
-hormones during women's menstrual cycle
-smoking or exposure to cigarette smoke
-loud noises
-Foods with high amounts of Tyramine like red wine, aged cheeses, smoked fish, chicken livers,certain beans and meats with nitrate like bacon, hot dogs and salami
-stress

When you do get a migraine rest in a darkened room and drink lots of water if you have been nauseous, determine what your migraine trigger is and avoid it as much as possible, place cool,damp clothes on your forehead for that 'aaahh' effect and if prescribed take your medication/ pain killers.

When I used to get mine I would sip on hot water and honey as it would relax me (mine were stress related, this might help as well.

Hope you got your health back in your hands with Gupz and Ruhila and keep it here for more health tips and tune in to 106.3 in Nairobi and 89.5 in Mombasa on East FM to get your daily dose of Gupz and Ruhila on The Rush
