What to do and how to act if you suddenly have a headache, and there are simply no pills at hand, but you have food?! Drink tea with sugar, eat nuts, bananas, buckwheat, dried apricots or baked potatoes! And no, this is not a joke at all, but a real panacea for the bothering discomfort.
Nevertheless, to begin with, you need to decide and deal with a headache. If you belong to the category of people who suffer from migraines, and a headache is associated with chronic diseases, it is still better to take pills and consult a doctor.
It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the most common and frequent cause for headache are cerebral vasospasms and hair root disease, lack of oxygen in the brain cells, dehydration, as well as fatigue and overwork.
These are just some very common cases when you can get well without pills, replacing them with more useful, and most importantly, effective and viable methods of treatment, including healthy food.
1. Magnesium
As you know, magnesium is one of the microelements that favorably affect blood vessels. It not only narrows them, but also saturates our blood vessels with oxygen.
Therefore, if you suddenly have a headache, eat a magnesium-containing product
For example, a banana, dried apricots, a slice of avocado, a couple of spoons of buckwheat or brown rice, almonds, cashews or a handful of sunflower seeds.
2. Potassium
Headaches also occur if you drink little and not enough fluid for the organism to work properly. Potassium is another trace element that can not be dispensed with in this situation. As a rule, due to dehydration in the body, there is a shortage of potassium. Moreover, this element is responsible for the saturation of blood and lymph.
Therefore, in order to compensate for it and thereby eliminate the headache, it is worth eating foods rich in this trace element.
In addition, the most important among them is baked potatoes in a peel! Just a couple of medium sized tubers, and you will again feel the flow of vigor. You can also eat an orange or drink a glass of water at room temperature. Tomato juice, tomatoes, Greek yogurt, spinach, beans, dried fruits and seafood should also help.
3. Black Tea with sugar
Black sweet tea is a great opportunity to get rid of annoying headache. Combinations of tannins in tea leaves in contact with sugar form and secrete catechins that have antimicrobial and analgesic effects. These substances favorably affect blood vessels, bringing them back to the normal condition.
4. Superfood with Calcium
If you feel that your whole head hurts, including the hair roots, then this type of headache is associated with a lack of calcium. This can lead to spasm of the musculature and muscles surrounding the cranium.
In this case, it is necessary to replenish the body with calcium
You can eat a couple of tablets of this drug, but it is best to drink a glass of warm milk or eat a pack of Greek yougurt at room temperature. You would better include in your diet cheese, eggs, parsley, sesame seeds, garlic, hazelnuts, hard cheese, soy and almonds too.
5. Estrogen
Most often, women have headaches due to a drop in estrogen hormone levels. In this case, you need to contact a specialist for consultation and further treatment. However, to relieve a headache in a hurry, a food rich in estrogens, as well as vitamin E and essential fatty acids, is suitable.
As a rule, these are: apples, olive oil, pure soy products and soybeans, legumes (beans of all kinds), red fish, sesame oil, walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, dried prunes and apricots.
