Lifestyle Interventions

Lifestyle interventions play a crucial role in managing period migraines, offering a natural and sustainable way to reduce both frequency and severity of attacks. Unlike medications that provide short-term relief, healthy daily habits address the underlying triggers such as hormonal fluctuations, stress, and poor sleep.

Simple yet effective strategies, like staying active through aerobic exercises, practicing yoga, maintaining a regular sleep routine, eating meals on time, and keeping a healthy weight can bring balance to the body and mind. These interventions not only improve migraine control but also enhance overall well-being, energy, and mood.

High-intensity cardio workouts like treadmill, Zumba, and running are useful in relieving period migraines.

Regimen:

  • What - High-intensity cardio workouts (treadmill, Zumba, running)

  • How much - Minimum 3x a week, 30mins a day.

  • When - Recommended throughout the month/cycle, apart from during menstruation (unless already in the habit or able to tolerate high physical activity during menstruation)

  • How long - At least 12 weeks (or 3 menstrual cycles)

Habit 1: Regular Aerobic Exercise
