Headache

Some experts say that citrus and other foods may trigger headaches because the people consuming them may have an enzyme deficiency. The enzyme they are lacking is necessary for neutralizing amines in foods. Some foods have large quantities of amines, and without the enzyme, headaches (and even migraines) can be stimulated.

Still, gobbling up an orange (or three) might seem harmless. One new theory is that craving certain foods could also signal a coming migraine. These kinds of migraines are also made more unpredictable because eating the food may not trigger pain every single time, and because food could team up with other triggers (like bright lights or stress) to induce a migraine.

Some other foods and beverages thought to trigger headaches include:
• Aged cheese and those cheeses containing tyramine, a natural substance that builds up as food ages. Tyramine in high levels has been shown to cause hypertension, which is a particular concern for people who take MAO inhibitor medication to treat migraines. Blue cheese, brie, cheddar, Stilton, feta, gorgonzola, mozzarella, muenster, Parmesan, Swiss, and processed cheeses often contain high levels of tyramine.
• Other salted, cured, processed, and canned foods that are high in tyramine. Take note of how your body reacts when you eat pickles, olives, and canned soups. Beans can also contain headache-triggering tyramine, especially fava, pinto, garbanzo, and lima beans.
• Alcohol, which could prompt headaches as it is metabolized in the body. Pay particular attention when you drink red wine, beer, whiskey, and champagne, which have been identified as triggers.

There is a long list of foods that headache and migraine sufferers say cause their pain. Some of them might surprise you, including:
• Peanuts and peanut butter
• Potato chips
• Pizza
• Fresh fruits like kiwi, plums, and raspberries
• Bread and crackers

Tetris May Build Up Your Brain

Regularly playing the video game Tetris may increase gray matter in your brain and make you think more efficiently, researchers in New Mexico report.

The researchers done on 26 adolescent girls asked to play the popular puzzle game for half an hour daily over three months found improved efficiency in parts of the brain associated with critical thinking, reasoning, and language and processing.

Scans also revealed increases in matter in the brain's cortex in areas linked to complex, coordinated movements and integrating sensory experiences, such as sight, sound and touch, with other information.

In Tetris, a computer game developed about 25 years ago, players score points by rotating colored puzzle pieces as they fall so they land in completed rows. The study appears in the current issue of the journal BMC Research Notes.

The researchers hope future studies will examine whether Tetris playing and the brain changes it creates lead to improvements in other areas, such as working memory or spatial reasoning, and whether halting regular play causes the brain to revert to its previous state.

Movies Awards of Summer 2009

BIGGEST SURPRISE
THE HANGOVER
Total U.S. Gross: $270,237,753

With no A-list stars, no pre-established source material, and no way anyone under 17 could see it without a parent, the odds were stacked against "The Hangover." But a funny marketing campaign helped the movie open at #1 with $45 million -- $10 million more than it cost to make -- and excellent word-of-mouth kept it in the top 10 for eight more weeks. It ended up being the years fourth highest-grossing picture, and it passed "Beverly
Hills Cop" to become the biggest R-rated comedy ever.


BIGGEST LOSSER
LAND OF THE LOST
Total U.S. Gross: $49,438,370

There were certainly movies that made less money than "Land of the Lost" this summer, but none fell short of expectations quite as fully as this adaptation of the cult '70s children's show. It opened against "The Hangover," and while it had a much more recognizable star in Will Ferrell than its competition, it made less than half of what "Hangover" did that first weekend. "Land of the Lost" went on to earn barely enough to cover its marketing costs, let alone its $100 million-plus production budget.


BIGGEST WINNER:
TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN Total U.S. Gross: $399,416,040

Everyone knew the sequel to "Transformers" -- 2007's third highest-grossing movie -- was going to be big, but no one knew just how big. It had the biggest first weekend ever for a film opening on a Wednesday. Currently, it has out-earned the first installment by $80 million and it hasn't given up yet. Expect it to be the ninth movie in history to crack the $400 million mark soon.



BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL HIT:
ICE AGE: DAWN OF TEH DINOSAURS
Total Foreign Gross: $613,790,529

In the U.S., the third "Ice Age" movie was a respectable success, bringing in $193 million, just shy of what the second one earned. Overseas, however, "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" was a monster, earning more than three times as much as it did here. Collectively, it made more money in France, Germany and the U.K. than it did in the U.S. While the movie ranks at #7 in this country, worldwide it's the third highest-grossing film of the year.


BIGGEST INDEPENDENT FILM:
(500) DAYS OF SUMMER
Total U.S. Gross: $25,203,886

In a smart counterprogramming move, this little romantic comedy that won over audiences at Sundance went into a small number of theaters in mid-July. Positive buzz helped expand the movie to over 1,000 locations, and it eventually took in three times its budget. Of course, the other movie Joseph Gordon-Levitt appeared in this summer, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" made nearly as much money in its opening day.


BIGGEST WORLDWIDE:
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
Total Worldwide Gross: $895,958,075

Fans had to wait two years for the sixth chapter to appear in theaters, so when it finally did they turned out in droves. In the U.S., "Half-Blood Prince" became the second highest-grossing film of the year, and the second biggest "Potter" film to date. It performed better in foreign markets than "Transformers," though, making it #1 for the year. "Harry Potter" movies make up six of the all-time top 25 highest-grossing films worldwide.
