FitSugar reader JessicaSmithTV wanted to know: can exercise help with migraines? She asked an expert and posted the answer in our Fit Community . Today’s post comes to us from special guest contributor and medical expert Paul Rizzoli , MD, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School: When you’re prone to migraines you’re forced to think through whether or not something you do will invite a headache into your life. Exercise is definitely one of those things. Should you skip a workout because you feel a migraine coming on? Or is it better to push through in the hopes a little sweat will make you feel better? Most headache specialists recommend exercise and an increase an overall physical activity to their patients. However, to date, there’s skimpy evidence to support the idea that working out actually guards against migraine attacks. A few studies have shown that taking regular exercise can reduce the severity, though not the number of headaches. Keep reading to see what studies say about exercise and migraine relief after the break!

MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – Officials from the Food and Drug Administration said Friday that the drug Avastin should no longer be used in breast cancer patients. The FDA said there’s no proof the drug extends breast cancer patients’ live and causes dangerous side effects. FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said Friday’s decision was difficult, but that patients must have confidence that drugs sold for their condition are effective, and Avastin was not. The ruling from the FDA was expected, but, thousands of women who say they’ve run out of other options. Avastin won’t be pulled from store shelves because it’s also used to treat colon cancer and some other cancerous tumors. However, the FDA’s ruling may influence insurance coverage of Avastin. Medicare said Friday that it will cover Avastin while it looks at whether a change is needed.

You know your mama was right. Eating veggies is good for you, but lately you haven’t been getting enough. Here are some reasons you may be skipping out and how to start getting those veggies back into your diet. 1. They Take Too Much Time to Prepare Washing, peeling, slicing, and sauteing veggies may take longer to prepare than ordering a pepperoni pizza (don’t forget the wait time for delivery), but in comparison to cooking up another healthy meal like grilled chicken or pasta, preparing a salad or stir fry really doesn’t take extra time. It helps to cut up veggies on Sunday night so you’ll have them ready to go for your meals all week. Or take advantage of the prewashed and cut veggies at the grocery store. My fave is shredded carrots because you can spoon some into a pot of cooking quinoa or top them on salad with no prep required. 2. They’re Too Expensive Yes, produce isn’t cheap, but if you go for local produce that’s in season, you’ll save money and get the best flavor. Frozen veggies are a good option as well. Keep your freezer stocked with green beans, corn, butternut squash, and edamame. 3. I Hate the Way They Taste It is true that not all veggies are as delicious as apple pie, so you might need to trick yourself into eating them. Puree kale into your smoothies or green beans into your tomato sauce. Or mix veggies you don’t care for with foods you do love, like broccoli on your pizza or peas and asparagus in your pesto pasta dish. Find a new favorite salad dressing or pick up some hummus to help your veggies seem more palatable. Also, roasting veggies may be more your speed than crunching on some raw peppers.
