When you get a headache, the easiest thing to do is take some pills and just wait for it to kick in. I'm no doctor, but popping pills every now and then can't possibly be great. There is a natural and delicious way to deal with headaches people, so let's start eating.
1. Watermelon
With the beginning of summer, comes the beginning of watermelon season. Sometimes headaches come due to lack of hydration. A nice plate of juicy watermelon should do the trick, and is filled with potassium and magnesium. You can also make yourself a watermelon smoothie.
2. Bananas
Another reason why headaches happen so often is low potassium. Therefore increase your potassium intake by eating some bananas. Bananas are also rich in magnesium which also helps relive headaches. A banana a day keeps the headache away.
3. Yoghurt
Throbbing pain in your head may also mean that your body needs some calcium. Yoghurt is a food rich in calcium, and will help your brian function efficiently. Do not add any sugars to the yogurt, let the calcium do the trick.
4. Apples
Apples are rich in a chemical compound called flavonoids, and has been proven to lower blood pressure and relive stress. Since stress is one of the main symptoms of a headache, have yourself some apples, or even apple cider, it will soothe your headache and relax you.
5. Cucumbers
You may have noticed that your headaches increase in the summer. Why? Well due to the hot weather, our bodies are not as hydrated as they would normally be in the winter. Lack of hydration is the main reason why we get headaches. Cucumbers can help a lot in this case. They are composed of 95% water thus helping with dehydration and fight headaches.
Tip: Since Ramadan is nearing in, eat a cucumber before you sleep, it will help a lot with the thirst and the fasting the next day.
