Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:
Is Extra Weight Giving You a Headache?

By Jennifer Gruenemay, ACE-Certified; June 27, 2011

The headache of finding clothes that fit after you've gained weight is certainly irritating, but it's not the only mind-numbing problem you'll experience. According researchers at the New England Center for Headache in Stamford, Connecticut, obese adults are nearly twice as likely as their normal-weight counterparts to suffer from chronic headaches. They also discovered that obese adults miss more work days each year due to these headaches.

But why does obesity put you at a higher risk? Headaches are triggered by constricted blood vessels caused by inflammation. And since being obese contributes to both inflammation and vascular diseases, researchers believe the link is justified. Fortunately, the study also found that it was not any more difficult to treat headaches in overweight and obese individuals than in healthy-weight adults.

What can help? Not too surprisingly, past studies have found that regular exercise reduces the frequency and severity of headaches. Working up a good sweat also aids weight loss, which is two-fold for headache-sufferers.

Feel a headache coming? Don't be afraid to "walk it off."
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

Obama defends record on gay rights
By: Julie Mason - Politico - June 29, 2011

Amid cheers, President Barack Obama told gay and lesbian supporters Wednesday that he has delivered on his promises -- but he gave them no new assurances on gay marriage and acknowledged their disappointment.

"I've met my commitments to the LGBT community," Obama told a few hundred attendees at an LGBT Pride Month reception at the White House. "I know there are going to be times where you're still frustrated with the pace of change. I understand that. I know I can count on you to let me know."

Earlier Wednesday, in the same room, Obama had stood before reporters at a news conference and declined to say whether he now supports gay marriage.

He praised the vote by New York legislators last week to legalize same-sex marriage there, calling it "a good thing, because what you saw was the people of New York having a debate, talking through these issues. It was contentious, it was emotional, but ultimately, they made a decision to recognize civil marriages. And I think that's exactly how things should work."

Obama, a supporter of civil unions, has opposed same-sex marriage in the past but said during a news conference in December that his "feelings are constantly evolving" on the subject, adding, "I struggle with this."

"We need to keep the pressure on and take 'yes' for an answer," said Dan Savage, a prominent Seattle columnist and gay activist who attended the East Room reception with his husband, Terry Miller.

Savage wore on his shirt a small button that said "evolve already."

"He says he's evolving, I believe him," Savage said. "I want to hurry him along."

New York last week became the sixth state to recognize same-sex marriage, a major victory for proponents of gay marriage that some had hoped would help persuade Obama to take a lead on the issue nationally.

Fred Sainz, vice president for communications at the Human Rights Campaign, a leading gay-rights organization, praised Obama's record on gay issues but said he is troubled by the president's comments about states deciding whether to legalize gay marriage.

"The problem is there are 41 states where (same-sex) marriage is illegal," Sainz told POLITICO. "The conversation has been concluded in those 41 states."

In those states, "that discrimination has been enshrined," Sainz added. "So it's incumbent on the federal government to reverse that discrimination."

Criticism over Obama's stance has grown more perceptible among his gay and lesbian supporters, and a defiant note has crept into the president's remarks in the past few weeks to gay and lesbian audiences. He has emphasized all he has done and promises he has kept, which never included support for gay marriage.

On Wednesday he spoke for fewer than 10 minutes, running through his list accomplishments on gay rights -- including extending benefits for the partners of federal workers, repealing the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and dropping the federal government's legal defense of the law barring federal recognition of same-sex marriages.

"A lot of people said we weren't going to be able to get "don't ask, don't tell" done, including a bunch of people in this room," Obama said. "The bottom line is we got it done."

Gregory King, a spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees who attended the reception, said gay marriage is not at the top of everyone's agenda.

"I think Obama has done more for the LGBT community than any president in history," King said.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
