eral days may be provoking. Plan to
visit friends, take long w alks and
give yourself a break from all that
fam ily togetherness to decrease or
help avoid stress,
Avoid alcohol - -drinking alcohol
on a flight may seem like a good
w ay to ease the tension o f a long
trip, but be aw are o f the dehydrat

tyam ine, a natural occurring amino
acid, can trigger headache.
