Healthy Living: Migraines

(WHTM) — If you ever find yourself getting a migraine from staring at a screen for too long, you are not alone.

Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Emad Estemalik says it is a common problem.

“For a lot of migraine sufferers or patients who have migraines in general, screen time plays a very important role in being a common trigger, among many other triggers that these patients are aware of,” Dr. Estemalik said.

An increasing amount of evidence suggests that a healthy lifestyle is linked to better thinking skills later in life. But few studies have looked at healthy lifestyle effects on memory in particular, and none have considered the effects on memory in people with a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Now a study from China offers insight. The study, published online Jan. 25, 2023, by BMJ, involved more than 29,000 people without dementia (average age 72). Participants initially underwent cognitive testing as well as genetic testing for genes known to raise risk for Alzheimer’s, and reported how well they stuck

Are hybrid workers really healthier? This CEO says it’s true

“There’s actually a significant savings that companies are achieving by transitioning a percentage of their traditional workspace footprint away from a conventional lease over to either working from home or working closer to home or at a co-working location. That’s become a very significant savings.”

And with these co-working spaces, employers also ensure that workers remain engaged with their peers at work, says Berger.
