- Hey, it's Dr. Gregg with Align Wellness Center,

and I wanted to give you one more tip

on some things to do if you're having a migraine

or if you've had them in the past.

Now it's a tip I give a lot of people for a lot of things,

and it has to do with water consumption.

You know, there have been many cases that have been shown

that migraines can be triggered by dehydration.

So how much water should you be drinking in a day?

Well in a day,

I say you should be drinking

at least half of your body weight in fluid ounces of water.

So if I weigh 200 pounds,

then I need to drink 100 fluid ounces of water.

Now I'm standing over here by our water cooler

so that we can focus on that.

Now how do you get to that much water?

Well, if you don't drink any water,

or if you drink less than you should be drinking of water,

let's add one cup of water a day for a week.

Then we'll add another cup of water for a week.

This will slowly what's called upregulate

or get you comfortable with that much fluids

so that you're not racing to the bathroom all the time.

Now for me,

what I do at my office or my day

is I split it up into four quarters.

So for me,

I've got to do 25 fluid ounces in the morning,

25 fluid ounces in my early shift,

25 fluid ounces in my afternoon patient shift,

and then 25 fluid ounces in the evening.

Now if you're a patient,

you may see me walking around with a water bottle like this.

And I do that because this is 25 fluid ounces.

So I know if I fill it up when I start with the day,

I should finish it by lunch.

If I fill it up in the afternoon,

I should finish it before we leave for the day.

I'm going to guide for you to come up with a system like that.

Now if you're in the heat of a migraine right now,

make sure, and a great thing to do

is sip on somewhere around 16 fluid ounces of water.

Now for some people they think of taking a soda or a Coke,

because it's got the caffeine

to try and help out with the migraine,

and sometimes caffeine can help.

But sometimes it can make it worse,

especially if it's from dehydration.

So make sure, I say,

to just consume clean water

so that you can rehydrate yourself.

Now if you know someone who has migraines,

please share this with them.

This may be a tip they aren't familiar with.

So that they can take care of them

more easily and more accurately.

Also if you like it, give it a thumbs up.

We're constantly producing material like this

to help you live a life of optimal health and well-being.

And once again,

I'm Dr. Gregg Gerstin with Align Wellness Center

in Northbrook, Illinois.

And thank you for letting me be a part of your health.

What should I feed a very senior cat? As we get beyond 11 years old, our physical

health may suffer and we can become fuzzier with our food. One of the ways

you humans can help us maintain our vitality is by feeding us age-specific

11 plus cat food, to give us more calories, it's enriched with vitamins and

minerals to support our immune system and because we may have lost teeth, or

have gum disease, we prefer smaller chunks, or kibbles
