Margin-Top push outer div down

Question

I have a header div as the first element in my wrapper div, but when I add a top margin to a h1 inside the header div it pushes the entire header div down. I realize this happens whenever I apply a top margin to the first visible element on a page.

Here is a sample code snippet. Thanks!

div#header{
	width: 100%;
	background-color: #eee;
	position: relative;
}

div#header h1{
	text-align: center;
	width: 375px;
	height: 50px;
	margin: 50px auto;
	font-size: 220%;
	background: url('../../images/name_logo.png') no-repeat;
}

<div id="header">
	<h1>Title</h1>
	<ul id="navbar"></ul>
</div>
