Here are some more exercises for that tension
headache...
58
 You have to understand that the tension headache
comes purely from tight cervical and neck muscles. When
muscles become tight, what actually happens is that lactic
acid gets accumulated in them.
Under ordinary conditions, when a muscle works,
glucose gets converted into carbon dioxide and water.
The blood easily removes these two waste materials.
But when a muscle has to work for too long or for
tow hard the energy demand is too high that the cells do
not get time to convert glucose fully into carbon dioxide
and water. Instead the glucose is converted into another
substance that is lactic acid.
The problem with lactic acid is that it restricts
further movement of the muscles and this results in
muscular cramps. In such conditions application of a little
bit of pressure can help the muscles release the pent up
lactic acid. When the cervical and neck muscles get
accumulated with lactic acid, it often results in a
headache. The exercise that is described below can prove
to be very effective.
1. Turn on the shower and direct the flow of the
stream of water onto the back of your neck
2. Now turn your head as if you are trying to see who
is behind you.
3. Stand like this for one or two minute.
4. Then repeat the exercise but looking in the
opposite side this time.

Eat organic foods. Many foods, especially produce
and meats contain pesticides and hormones that are not
good for the body. More and more stores are carrying
organic foods that are safer for your body and reduce the
number of foreign chemicals entering into your
bloodstream. If your local grocery store does not carry
any of these food items, check to see if your city has an
organic store somewhere else.
