Nutritionists have repeatedly noted that headaches you should correct your diet.
Every product is a little chemical laboratory. And some of them definitely have something that can help get rid of headaches.
But first you should know what a headache is bothering you. The reasons she has many, and not all of them are harmless (and it is a reason to go to the doctor). The most common be the lack of oxygen in the brain cells, dehydration, spasms of cerebral vessels and the muscles around the head. And that’s just in these cases, you can rectify the situation not taken drugs, but with a more harmless means. Depending on why (and how) you have a headache – choose a saving remedy, and advise physicians.
Food rich in magnesium
It is proved that magnesium relieves headaches associated with narrowing of blood vessels. Magnesium acts on blood vessels to relax, which improves blood circulation in the brain and, consequently, nourishes the brain cells with oxygen. If you usually headache well help drugs like shpy, try to eat something from the foods with high magnesium content.
First and foremost, this is: cashews, buckwheat, pine nuts, almonds, dried apricots, bananas, avocados, sunflower seeds and brown rice.
Food rich in potassium
Potassium – the first thing that is in short supply, if your body is dehydrated. Moreover, if you are accustomed to drinking enough water, you may not understand that your body and your brain (and with it the head) suffer from chronic dehydration as a consequence of a lack of potassium in the blood and the lymph. If you drink less than a litres of water a day and you have frequent headaches, look for the cause in the water. More precisely, in its deficiency in the body. But most of all the headaches associated with dehydration we suffer after a great night in the arms of a glass (and not one). Or, when cold, with a strong temperature, or without it (why, incidentally, doctors in addition to medication, definitely recommend “excessive drinking”). And then help can come from foods high in potassium.
Mostly, it’s baked potatoes (with peel). It is believed that two medium potatoes in their skins will be enough to ease the headache from the hangover. With the headaches associated with the fact that you persistently have a little drink of water, enough to eat an orange and drink a glass of water. However, when you then review your water regime.
Black tea with sugar
This drink is worthy of a separate Chapter in this article, because it is generally a universal remedy for headache. Even if you’re not drinking this noble drink with sugar, the patient’s head – a powerful argument to break this rule. The thing is that adding sugar to the tea contributes to the formation of catechins – substances with pronounced analgesic and antimicrobial activity. By the way, for this reason it is better for headache it’s because of strong sweet tea. And if you have a headache associated with dehydration, tea with sugar is doubly good idea.
Food rich in calcium
It is not uncommon source of headache are not the processes inside the skull and surrounding muscles. This so-called “pain tension”. You think that “the entire head hurts”, and in fact you are experiencing spasm of the muscles: there is an illusion of inability to relax the forehead (for example) and other pain, intensifying when trying to move. The pain is linked, usually with a lack of calcium in the body. Of deficiency leads to disturbances of neuromuscular excitability and, as a result spasm of the muscles. By the way, the drop in the level of calcium in the blood is one of the causes of headaches in women before “these days”.
To alleviate these headaches help in the first place: milk, low-fat cottage cheese, natural yoghurt, fermented baked milk.
Women note
Frequent headaches, meteozavisimosti, migraine in women may be associated with lower levels of the hormone estrogen. Of course, this is a reason to go to an endocrinologist. But as a quick means to ease the pain of suitable food rich in estrogen, essential fatty acids and vitamin E.
This primarily flax seeds, sesame seeds, soy products, beans, salmon, olive oil. Good sources of phyto-oestrogens are apples. And better to use these products with sufficient regularity.
