For those who get them, migraines can be much worse in the summer. Here's what to do...

Summertime can be a big problem for those who have to deal with migraine headaches...  

The increase in temperature and humidity can add to frequency and intensity. There are a few things you can do to help keep those summer migraines in check:

• Skip the hot dogs. They contain additives that can trigger the headaches. Opt for turkey or vegetarian hot dogs that are nitrite-free instead.

• Have sunglasses and a visor handy at all times. Bright light is a huge trigger of migraines. Put the shades on before you even step outside.

• Drink lots of water. Dehydration is double trouble for someone prone to migraines. Water is the best defense because summer drinks such as lemonade and iced tea can make matters worth with high sugar and caffeine levels.

• Sunscreen, insect repellent and body sprays are also filled with migraine triggers. Make sure to choose products that are fragrance free with fewer chemicals.
