Can drinking water prevent migraines?

 
Tara Parker-Pope, New York Times health and wellness blogger, recently shared some research which points migraine sufferers to drinking more water.  Researchers have shown that extreme summertime heat increases the risk of migraines for people.  “One large study in the journal Neurology even showed that the risk of migraines jumps nearly 8 percent for every nine-degree rise in temperature.”

The researchers suggest a simple fix:  drink more water and stay hydrated (drink more non-caffeine, non-alcohol drinks.) Many people walk around in a state of chronic dehydration and do not realize it.
