Simple steps for preventing winter migraines

Keep tabs on weather changes. The biggest culprits: pressure changes, extreme temperatures and glare from sun or snow.

Carry a water bottle. Dehydration from dry air can trigger migraines. So sip water all day.

Don't let your sleep slide. Shorter days disturb routine. Stay on schedule to avoid sleep-related headaches.

Watch those comfort foods. Canned soups and packaged foods may contain add-ins like MSG, a known trigger.

Keep moving. Resist the urge to hibernate: Regular exercise may help people with migraines.
