4 EASY TRICKS TO RELIEVE A HEADACHE
2. ADEQUATE SLEEP. Getting enough sleep on a regular basis is part of the migraine hygiene you should practice to keep your headaches at ease. Sleep also includes darkness. Light is painful when you’re suffering from a minimal headache, a hangover, and especially a migraine. Its brightness can trigger an even greater head pain, so don’t be afraid to dim the lights a bit. 3. BALANCED DIET. Eating regular meals, avoiding foods that trigger headaches, and staying hydrated will also help reduce the pain and frequency of your headaches. If you suffer from migraines on a regular basis, consider making one small switch to your diet: more nuts. Nuts can work as both a pain reliever and a preventative method to stave off future onsets. Many varieties of nuts contain an important “ingredient” called salicin. Salicin is a pain blocking agent that’s present in many of today’s medications. Though you may want to reach for an over the counter pain reliever when migraines strike, choose
nuts—they offer the same important ingredients. 4. WORK ON IMPROVING YOUR POSTURE.
Did you know there are natural ways to relieve headaches? Try these tips to help kick your pain to the curb and get back to doing the things you enjoy! 1. REGULAR EXERCISE. Regular exercise can reduce the frequency and strength of your headaches. The body releases endorphins during exercise, which act as natural painkillers. Exercise reduces stress, another headache trigger, and encourages better sleep at night. Vigorous, regular exercise can also help reduce the risks of cardiovascular problems, as lack of exercise is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
Hold your shoulders back and your head level, parallel to the ground, instead of hunching forward. This technique helps improve headaches most frequently occurring during work.
