Other reports note that headache can occur after physical exercise and exertion sleeping late and a raft of other activities humans nor Mally find pleasurable. Sigmund Freud was among those who tend to develop headaches on weekends and holidays. The Type of headache these reports most often speak of is the migraine. With swollen blood vessels in the Skull the immediate cause it usually produces pulsating pain in the front of the head or on one Side and it lasts from hours to a Day or longer. What doctors refer to As classic migraine headache is often preceded by an Aura during which sufferers see flashing lights or grotesque humans and animals or they May experience temporary loss of vision Odd smells an tastes and drastic mood swings. Another Type of migraine is not heralded by an Aura but the throbbing head pain it produces also varies from mild to incapacitating heredity is downgraded As cause of overweight new York not for the average per son heredity is far less important than environment in determining his tendency to be overweight according to the findings of an extensive study by Milwaukee scientists. The researchers say their findings remove a common excuse among obese people for not losing weight and replace it with the realistic Hope that weight loss is within their control. Their conclusions were based on a study of 254 families with adopted children and 10,337 families with natural children. The families were gathered from among 73,532 women who belonged to a weight reduction group called tops take off pounds sensibly. The researchers examined the tendency to overweight among the adopted Brothers and Sisters and among the natural siblings and found very Little difference Between the two. In other words if a child s adopted brother or sister was fat. He was nearly As Likely to be fat himself As if the sibling was a blood relative. This shows that having a similar environment is More important than inheritance in deter mining degrees of overweight.

This finding is counter to those of previous smaller studies which suggested that children inherit their parents tendencies to overweight and that environment plays a relatively Small role. However most if not All these studies looked at the relationship Between parents and children in their tendency to obesity a less reliable measurement than comparing siblings to one another the Milwaukee re searchers maintain.
