Headache can be very disturbing when it lingers... can be signs of many illness; malaria, typhoid, stress etc .
These six foods below probably won’t make a headache disappear completely, but they seems to have preventive powers.
1. Spinach
Green vegetables are really good in adding to diet/meals. They are rich in riboflavin, a type of vitamin B that has been linked to preventing migraines.
2. Water Melon & Cucumber
Sometimes headache can make one be dehydrated. In such case you'll need water melon and / or cucumber because of the water level content . We get about 20% of our daily water
intake from food, but watermelon also offers essential minerals you lose
when you’re dehydrated like magnesium and potassium.
3. Fatty Fish
Fatty
fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines contain large
amounts of omega-3 fatty acids which, besides lowering cholesterol,
also hasten the metabolism rate. Omega-3 fatty acids alter the level of
leptin — a hormone that directly influences metabolism and determines
whether you burn calories or store them as fat. Fish also provides ample
protein and the best way to eat it is grilled, with steamed vegetables
on the side. Their
anti-inflammatory properties can reduce the pain of chronic headaches,
and the benefit is enhanced when dietary omega-6 fatty acids found in
many food oils are simultaneously reduced.
4. Irish Potatoes
Potato has potassium and the mineral can treat headaches, which we
often lack when we’re dehydrated.
5. Caiffine
Take caffeine in moderation may actually help reduce
headaches. Many headache medications contain a small dose, because it
helps the body absorb those drugs faster, according to WebMD.
6. Almonds
Raw,
unsalted nuts, especially almonds and walnuts, provide essential
roughage, protein, fat, minerals and micro nutrients. Munching on
handfuls of these nuts keeps you full and energetic for longer without
adding to your waistline.
