Backed by SCIENCE! Food to eat to help with headaches.

03 Oct

Are you that type of person who always keeps painkillers in their pocket, just because headache accompanies all the time? Or, that one who can not stand the nagging, pulsing, throbbing headaches that sneak their way into your noggin and ruin your day? 

People experience different types of headaches, and headache causes and symptoms will vary from person to person. An estimated 1 billion people experience headache attacks, making it the third most common illness and the most common neurological condition. Some of the most common causes of headaches include your lifestyle (diet, exercising, sleeping), as well as hormones, viruses, etc.  

Instant migraine relief is difficult to achieve. Some foods can work rapidly, like ginger, nuts and some others can worsen the headache. Following are listed foods that fight migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, caffeine headaches, and headaches in general.

#1 Leafy Green Vegetables

Leafy greens contain a variety of elements that contribute to headache relief. For example, research has shown taking magnesium can reduce migraine pain because many migraine sufferers have low magnesium levels. The Journal of Headache and Pain reported a study that found a combination of folic acid, B6, and B12 reduced migraine symptoms. The National Headache Foundation reported on a European study that found vitamin B2 could reduce migraine frequency.

Here are some of the leafy greens that contain vital elements and a variety of other anti-inflammatory antioxidants.

  • Spinach
  • Cabbage 
  • Collard greens
  • Watercress
  • Broccoli
  • Kale

#2 Faty Fish

Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are anti-inflammatory foods. They contain B vitamins, including riboflavin (B2), which has been shown to help manage migraine attacks. The research found that salmon contains coenzyme Q10 and vitamin D, which combined provided migraine relief.

Research also indicates that increasing omega-3 fatty acids may help people with migraines. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include fish such as mackerel, salmon, seeds, and legumes.

#3 Nuts

Nuts are rich in magnesium, which soothes headache pain by relaxing blood vessels. Nuts contain a significant amount of vitamin E that may help control migraines triggered by hormonal fluctuations. For some people experiencing a headache, immediate relief is found by eating a handful of almonds or other nuts.

  • Almonds
  • Walnuts
  • Cashew nuts
  • Brazil nuts

#4 Chocolate

Here is the good news. Yes, dark chocolate ( at least 70% of cocoa) has a high amount of magnesium and riboflavin. Both nutrients help manage migraines by assisting with the relaxation of blood vessels.
