This new book gives specific advice on healthy lifestyle habits — exercises, stress management, diet, sleep, and nicotine avoidance — that have been proven to reduce migraines.

    - Overweight teens were 40 percent more likely to have headaches
    - Inactive or sedentary teens were 20 percent more likely to have headaches
