6. Water intake

Dehydration can cause headaches, but it is readily preventable. A simple glass of water can be just as beneficial as a drink that contains electrolytes, such Pedialyte, Gatorade, or Powerade.

But just as certain beverages might lessen headaches, some can actually make them worse.

Dehydration caused by alcohol, especially red wine, can also result in headaches.

7. Sleep

It’s common knowledge that obtaining the recommended amount of sleep each night may prevent health issues like recurrent headaches. It’s one thing to realize you need more sleep; quite another to actually obtain it.

You may do the following to increase the quantity and quality of your sleep, among other things.

Keep a regular sleep routine. Sleep and wake up at regular intervals. This may be a positive move even if you only get to bed 15 minutes sooner or sleep 15 minutes later.

In the hours before night, stay away from stimulants. Alcohol, sweets, nicotine, caffeine, and other stimulants can prevent you from falling asleep and keep you up at night going to the bathroom. Before you put your head on the pillow, give your body time to relax.

Before going to bed, pick something calming to do. Spend some time reading a nice book or taking a hot bath instead of using the computer or television. Even if it seems cliche, a little relaxation may go a long way.

Use a “headache diet”

Despite being tasty, certain foods have a reputation for causing headaches. Consider maintaining a “headache diary” of the meals and liquids you take on a regular basis or especially when you get headaches.

If you know what causes your headaches, try to stay away from that particular trigger for a while. Foods that may be problematic include:

meals and drinks with caffeine. Chocolate, coffee, cola, and tea are a few examples.

food products containing monosodium glutamate. MSG is a preservative that has historically been utilized in several Asian cuisines. Foods like quick ramen noodles contain it as well.

foods that contain nitrate. The majority of common meats, including pepperoni, sausage, lunch meat, and hot dogs, can give people headaches.

foods containing tyramine. Tyramine is a substance that is created when the amino acid tyrosine breaks down, and it may be found in meals like pizza and aged cheeses.

9. Drink relaxing teas

Herbal tea is a wonderful method to unwind at night because of its warmth and comfort. The same calming characteristics may also have pain-relieving properties. Before consuming these teas, speak with a doctor because herbs can interfere with certain diseases and drugs.
