9 Foods That Will Help Your Headaches!

9 Foods That Will Help Your Headaches! 

 

 

Those who suffer from frequent headaches no very well that they are incredibly hard to ignore. They ruin everything, from a good time out to reading a book, it's hard to enjoy yourself doing anything when your head is throbbing so bad you feel nauseated. But before popping those pills over and over, we'd advise checking out some other reasons and solutions to the problem, such as making sure you are eating things that help your headache instead of making it worse!

1. Baked Potato Baked potato can alleviate a headache, especially one caused by drinking alcohol. Since alcohol causes an increase in urine, it can cause dehydration and the loss of important electrolytes such as potassium. Eating foods rich in potassium can then ease hangover headaches. A potato with the peel is one of the best sources of this mineral, containing about 720 mg of potassium (to compare, a banana, also rich in potassium, contains about 460 mg). 2. Watermelon As we said above, dehydration is one of the leading reasons for headaches, so before you take that pill, consider eating foods rich in water, such as the watermelon. There are many fruit and vegetables rich in water and some also contain important minerals such as magnesium, which is considered as an aid against headaches.    3. Coffee Yes, coffee. The brown liquid we all drink to make it through the day has long since been considered a great folk medicine against headaches. Many headache pills contain caffeine. The secret, however, is moderation.  While alcohol makes the blood vessels in our body and head expand, coffee does the opposite, by shrinking them. This way, it can reduce the amount of pain we feel. However, if you drink too much caffeine, you will increase the amount of urine and we're back to dehydration, which in turn will cause more headaches. So, drink a cup of coffee, no more, or add a cup of water as well. 4. Whole Wheat Bread People on a diet low in carbohydrates may suffer from frequent headaches, since this kind of diet decreases the body's store of glycogen, which are a main source of energy for the brain. This way, the body loses liquid and gets dehydrated, and then - headaches. Consider adding some comple carbs to your diet, like those in whole wheat, fruit or yogurt. It may also improve your mood, since it makes the body release serotonin. 5. Almonds Research shows that the magnesium in almonds may protect the body from headaches by releasing the blood vessels. For those who suffer from migraines, a diet rich in magnesium may bring about great relief. To increase your intake of magnesium, try to consume almonds, bananas, avocado, whole rice etc.    6. Spicy Salsa This may sound weird, but spicy foods like spicy salsa or hot peppers can help you get rid of that headache that much faster. The question is - what caused the pain. These foods are great at solving pain related to your sinuses. The spicy foods will open the breathingways, which will alleviate the headache. 7. Yogurt When your head feels like it is aching in a fast throb, it may be your body trying to tell you that it needs calcium to function efficiently. Make sure you have calcium rich foods as part of your diet, like regular greek yogurt with no fat, which is an excellent source of calcium, without any extra fat and sugars with with helpful probiotics.  8. Sesame Seeds The tiny sesame seeds contain a large amount of vitamin E, which may help stabalize estrogen levels in women and so prevent migrains. Along the fact that it helps with headaches, it may also help with blood circulation. They are also rich in magnesium.   9. Spinach What works for popeye can work for you as well. Spinach has been proven to reduce blood pressure and deal with hangovers. So if your head is a-throbbing, consider a big salad, and instead of lettuce, use spinach.  Stay well!

Mount Vesuvius!

A Dangerous Volcano: Mount Vesuvius!

It may have happened almost 2000 years ago, but the world still remembers Pompeii and its fate, when Mount Vesuvis buried it in ash. Mount Vesuvius is still an active volcano today. It is the volcano with the most violent past, a past filled with historical eruptions. Despite that fact, it is a great place to visit!

The most famous fact about Mount Vesuvius is that in 79 AD it erupted and buried the city of Pompeii (as well as the city of Herculaneum) under land and ash. These ancient cities were wiped from the history books, until they were rediscovered in the 18th century.

Looking at Vesuvius from above. This is one of the most dangeours volcanos, with a rich history of eruption all way from 1800BC to 1944 - with hundreds of documened eruptions in between.

Even after losing some of its original height to the many explosive eruptions, mount Vesuvius is still 1281 meters (4,203 feet) tall.

Some of the ruins of ancient Pompeii, after it was escavated from under 4-6 meters (13-20 feet) of ash, lost for almost 1700 years. Today, more than 2.5 million visitors arrive every year to visit this UNESCO heritage site.

You can still find evidence of human victims in Pompeii, frozen at the moment they were buried, almost 2000 years ago.

Shortly after Pompeii was rediscovered in the 1700s, a French painter made this exquisite painting of the eruption of the volcano, as watched by the helpless people of Pompeii.

This sad site is called 'The Garden of the Fugitives', where many cast bodies were found.
