I think walking four or five nights plus yoga at least once a week has helped me feel better, and I know it's good for my health all the way around. Of course, I don't exert much if I have a migraine and often can't participate at all - then I just postpone until I can. Also I've discovered that for me, feeling better can be just a matter of breathing (or not breathing shallowly or unintentionally holding my breath), as silly as that sounds. When you intentionally breathe as during yoga or while walking at a good pace, you can't very easily hold your breath and you get that much needed oxygen to your brain! Great tip, James!
