Get more fruits and veggies every day

Easy ways to get more fruits and veggies every day:

• Grind up veggies to "hide" in meatloaf and soups.
• Cut up fruits and veggies so they are ready for a quick snack; baby carrots and edamame are a cinch.
• Frozen grapes and banana slices make a cool treat.
• Include lettuce, tomatoes and onions on all your sandwiches and wraps.
• Forget tortilla chips! Eat raw veggies with your favorite dips and salsas.
• Take advantage of summer berries; add to muffins, pancakes, cereal and salads.
• Don't forget about dried fruits. They make an easy on-the-go snack.
• Shop your local outdoor produce markets for a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Select a frozen 100% fruit bar as a simple and sweet snack.

The Daily Grind

The stress of a major life event — the birth of a baby, the death of a loved one, a career change, a divorce — is undeniable. But it's not necessarily this type of stress that triggers headaches.

The body often draws on unknown reserves of strength to deal with a crisis. Instead, it's the everyday irritants — searching for lost papers, sitting in traffic, tolerating petty annoyances at work — that may erode your ability to cope. For some people, this triggers headaches.

Stress hormones can alter the level of certain chemicals in the brain, which may contribute to headaches as well. If you tense your muscles, grind your teeth or stiffen your shoulders in response to stress, you may only make your headaches worse.
