Is there a way to prevent headaches or reduce our feelings of it?
Proper and balanced nutrition
may be one way to reach this goal successfully.
Headache
affects more than 90% of people. There are people who suffer from headaches in
some minimum cases, and there are those who suffer from commonly headaches.
Despite the high incidence of it, no effective treatment for headache has yet been found, a treatment that truly relieves everyone who suffers from it.
There are
several reasons for stimulating and infecting a normal headache, which is known
to almost all people.
Possible
causes of headache:
- Psychological headache.
- Too little or too much sleep.
- Unhealthy nutrition, which includes eating junk food saturated with salts and fats.
- Excessive caffeine consumption.
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- Being in a noisy environment without ventilation.
- Continuous focus.
- Strain on the eyes - overstrain of the eyes (can be caused by improper eyeglasses)
Frequently,
recurring headaches are caused by strained muscles of the head, neck, or face.
The pain arises gradually, and it goes away within several hours to a day, and
it has no serious side effects.
Pain from
exertion can turn into chronic pain (forever or for a long time).
There are
recurring headaches, which doctors can classify according to the type of
disease they express, especially migraines (a very strong headache, usually
felt on one side of the head) in all its forms.
Although
migraine headaches may be disturbing and disturb the course of life, they do
not usually necessitate admission to the hospital. However, there are several
types of migraines that require hospitalization and intensive treatment,
although they are not dangerous.
Headache and
food:
There are
substances and foods that make up our daily menu, known to be allergens, such
as caffeine, monosodium glutamate (a food supplement - MSG), various food dyes,
cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, mustard greens, and watercress),
eggs, Sugar, soybeans, and yeast.
If the talk
is about a headache due to allergies, then it is necessary to identify the
substance that triggers the allergy and refrain from consuming it.
Avoid
headaches
If the head
pain starts after a nap, you may have woken up in a dream suddenly. Limit naps
to 40 minutes, so you can wake up before this stage begins.
Refrain from
eating these foods
Avoid taking
food/supplements that can trigger headaches:
- Foods that enlarge the arteries in body, such as: cocoa, yellow cheese, yogurt, citrus fruits, smoked fish, peanut butter, vinegar, and bread products etc.
- Foods that contain MSG: Chinese food, canned foods, soup powders, meats, and processed foods. Today, many types of food can be found that do not contain MSG.
- Diet foods/drinks containing aspartame and Azul fame K.
- Red Meat and dried fruits to which nitrites and nitrates are included. It is possible to find dried fruits that do not contain these additives.
- Grapes and red wine contain polyphenols.
- Avoid excessive caffeine consumption
Caffeine
actually constricts the arteries, but it can trigger headaches or migraines in
sensitive people. Therefore, the recommendations indicate the need to limit
coffee consumption to three cups a day at most and try not to drink light and
soft drinks that contain caffeine. However, you should not abstain from
drinking coffee at once and suddenly, as the sudden cessation of coffee leads
to dilation of the arteries, which can cause a seizure.
You Make
sure to eat maximum 6 meals a day
For blood
sugar to be balanced during daylight hours. Skipping meals leads to a decrease
in the level of sugar in the brain, which may lead to a headache. However, it
is not preferable to eat very large meals that lead to low blood pressure,
which would also cause a seizure.
Drink water
and fluids
By studies it
is recommended to drink at least two liters of water a day for curing headache.
If you suffer from a headache - drinking a cup of heavy black coffee may
contribute to alleviating this feeling thanks to its contraction effect on the
arteries, but before that you must make sure that the pain does not stem from
excessive drinking of coffee or from a lack of drinking water, as coffee is a
diuretic and may progression.
Eat these
foods
It is preferable
that the menu contain complex carbohydrates rich in serotonin (Serotonin - a
chemical found especially in the nervous system), as well as wheat. During the
winter season, there is a decrease in serotonin levels, and it also decreases
in women before menstruation.
You should
eat 3 eggs per week. Eggs are rich in choline, which is an important component
of the brain (research has shown that there is a relationship between eating
foods that contain choline and a positive effect on migraine patients).
The food
should have deep northern sea fish including tuna, salmon, mackerel, or halibut
because it have a good amount of omega-3, which is of good importance in the
membrane of brain cells, and is characterized due to its anti-inflammatory
effect, as it decreases inflammation if it is present during the time. Nubia.
Make sure to
eat fruits and vegetables because they have fiber that helps to stay away from
constipation, as the latter may be one of the reasons of headaches and other
complications.
Introducing
magnesium-rich foods to our menu, such as nuts, green vegetables, and lentils.
Magnesium helps relax narrowed muscles and arteries in body and has a calming
effect. It has been found that people who suffer from migraines suffer mainly
from magnesium deficiency.
Make sure to
follow a consistent sleep regimen
Make sure Try
to go to bed and get up from bed at the same time (even on weekends). Irregular
sleep (lack or excess of hours of sleep) can lead to a headache attack and even
a migraine, possibly due to a disturbance in the serotonin secretion process.
Stretching
exercises
Take short
breaks to do stretching exercises, especially if you work a long time in front
of the computer - sitting and typing on the computer causes spasm in the
muscles of the upper back, shoulders, and neck.. which may turn into a
headache.
Headache treatment
There are
many different means that can be used to treat headaches, but before going for
medical treatment, it is preferable to examine the natural methods, and before
that examine ourselves and our lifestyle.
Headache may
not seem related to our lifestyle, but certainly, we can notice that it is
affected by the psychological situation, emotions, and lifestyle.
The body
should be maintained with food, love, sleep (at least 6 hours per night) and
everything that makes us feel better (such as meditation, walks, surrounding
ourselves with people we feel comfortable around), and of course exercise (at
least 3 times a week), Where sports contribute to the removal of toxic
substances, lead to better blood flow, increase the volume of the lungs, reduce
the frequency of the pulse, prevent the leakage of calcium and minerals from
the bones and joints, and reduce blood pressure.
