Drink lots of water. You should have about 8 glasses a day to keep you hydrated.

Take a magnesium supplement. Magnesium is food for the muscles and reduces tension that can cause headaches.

Take a fish oil or turmeric supplement. Lots of headaches are associated with systemic or whole body inflammation and a fish oil or turmeric supplement is a great way to reduce inflammation in the body.

Do a light weight, high repetition, upper body, weights program. A class like yoga, barre or Pilates is great for this. You need to build strength in your muscles to prevent poor posture.

Aim to reduce stress levels. My favourite two things to prevent stress are participating in a Yin Yoga class, or listening to the Headspace App.
