Headaches have haunted humanity throughout history. The causes are varied.
Fighting headaches is difficult, but necessary. They are intrusive, regardless of the type, and interfere with normal work and rest.
Nowadays, medicine is quite capable of dealing with almost any unpleasant pain sensation, but we should not forget that any medicine can have a number of side effects.
But there are no food products that everyone can find in the nearest store. But they also know how to fight headaches.
Eat magnesium
Regardless of what exactly causes the headache, saturating the body with magnesium significantly reduces it. Especially if we are talking about vascular constriction.
Magnesium relaxes the vascular system, saturates the blood with oxygen. Blood circulation in the head improves. As a result, the headache gradually subsides, and after half an hour it stops bothering you altogether.
Among the products rich in magnesium, buckwheat porridge, nuts and almonds, bananas and dried apricots should be singled out. Brown rice, which is rarer in Eastern Europe, also contains a lot of magnesium.
Don't forget about potassium
Your head may hurt from dehydration. In this case, potassium will help you. Take a closer look at yourself.
If you drink less than one and a half to two liters of water per day and you are constantly bothered by long-term headaches, then you need to eat more foods containing potassium.
The most striking example is the morning after drinking alcohol.
When you wake up, your body is incredibly dehydrated, which is why the condition is accompanied by a severe, nagging headache. Potassium will help you cope with it.
Potassium is found in baked potatoes. It is better to eat them with the skin. Also, do not forget that to get rid of this type of headache, it is enough to simply restore the water balance in the body. Drink clean water, natural juices or green tea. This will help.
