Most times when people come down
with headaches, the first response is to pop a painkiller. Painkillers are
great for suppressing headaches but can lead to stomach issues especially when
taken too frequently. More often than not, headaches are the body’s way of
telling you to correct something in your diet, routine or general lifestyle.
Here are some helpful tips that can help get rid of headaches.
Drink Water
Dehydration is a primary trigger
for headaches. Lack of water in the body reduces blood volume which also leads
to loss of oxygen in the blood. That loss of oxygen to the brain can cause pain
to the head. So sometimes, balancing out your level of hydration might be the
key to getting rid of a headache.
Get Better Sleep
Adequate sleep is a necessity for
the entire body to function properly. It is important for proper brain
functioning, maintaining communication channels and removal of toxins. Lack of
adequate sleep won’t only cause headaches but could create problems for other
systems in the body.
Change Of Diet
Sometimes a sudden change in what
we eat could result in headaches, additionally, our bodies may react to certain
foods with the brain creating an inflammatory response for the immune system
can handle these foods. Some of these foods include chocolate, red wine and
dark beer.
Eat Foods With Magnesium
Research has shown that low
magnesium content in the body can often lead to headaches. Foods like wheat,
whole grains, almonds, peanuts and cashews have a high magnesium content and
are good for dealing with headaches. If you can’t access them immediately,
buying a magnesium supplement from your nearest pharmacy might be more
effective than a painkiller.
