Headaches can be debilitating, and if you suffer with them frequently, you’ll be pleased to know that you can improve matters by altering what you eat and drink.
Eliminating toxins, or targeting certain vitamins and minerals can give your body the boost it needs to feel better. While some foods can cause allergy or sensitivity in some people, resulting in headaches, other foods can help to prevent them.
So add these foods to your shopping basket next time you’re in the supermarket.
Potatoes in their jackets, or baked potatoes, are a great source of potassium. If you’re prone to headaches when you’re dehydrated, then you’ll be losing electrolytes, all-important because the brain needs them to function effectively. Eating a potato with its skin on will boost your potassium intake. Bananas do the same thing to a slightly lesser extent.
Bananas are wonderful if you have a stubborn headache that has been around for a while. Containing magnesium, they will relax your blood vessels and ease the pain in your head while potassium will help you rehydrate, and prevent nausea and muscle fatigue. That’s why athletes love them!
Watermelon, and other water-rich foods such as berries, cucumber and grapes, are also great for headaches caused by dehydration. Not only do watermelons contain plenty of water, they also have magnesium, and other essential minerals and these will help to prevent headaches.
Speaking of cucumber, how about a salad to ease your pounding headache? All kinds of salad leaves such as lettuce and spinach contain high levels of water and fibre, which will help replenish the levels in your body and make you feel better in no time. For salads with a higher level of nutrient, try romaine lettuce rather than iceberg, or butter lettuce or escarole,
If you find salad a little bland, add some salsa too it! Spicy foods can help you recover form a headache quite quickly, particularly if your headache is thanks to a cold, flu or other virus. Sinus congestion responds well to spicy foods, by opening up the airways and giving you the space to breathe. If it isn’t really the season for salad, indulge yourself in a nice hot chili or curry. Chili powder is packed with vitamin E, that relaxes the blood vessels, and this provides relief for your headache.
A nasty headache can sometimes be your body calling out for calcium. As adults we do tend to avoid calcium rich diets, and yet the brain needs it to function efficiently. Calcium-rich foods, include fat-free plain Greek yogurt (which has no added sugars and yes contains beneficial probiotics for your gut). Add berries or bananas for a headache busting breakfast or snack.
Combine yoghurt, bananas, berries or watermelon with ice, honey and ginger and hey presto! You’ve conjured up a headache antidote that’s both delicious and good for you.
Strange as it may seem, coffee can help to alleviate headaches too! You have to consume it in small quantities, but the caffeine found in coffee is a vasoconstrictor. This means it reduces the size of your blood vessels which then soothes your headache. Too much caffeine will act as a diuretic, meaning you need the loo more, and you’ll become dehydrated which can increase your head pain symptoms.
Load up on the carbs if you want to prevent a headache. Many dieters find they experience headaches when they cut carbs out of their diet. This is because a low-carbohydrate diet, depletes your glycogen stores, a main source of energy for the brain. This depletion will increase fluid losses from the body too, leading to dehydration and that triggers headaches. Choose healthy carbs, such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit or yogurt. Even better – carbs boost your serotonin, the feel-good hormone, so you’ll feel happier.
The magnesium in some nuts, such as almonds can prevent headaches. Almonds are high in tryptophan, an amino acid that helps release serotonin, making you feel good, and they also contain magnesium, which will relax your muscles and blood vessels and help to alleviate tension headaches.
Seeds such as quinoa are an excellent solution to your headache. Quinoa is high in magnesium and is a great benefit for women suffering from menstrual migraines. Sesame seeds also have their uses. You can sprinkle them on salads, in breakfast cereal or on top of your soups and stir-fries because they are rich in vitamin E, which can help to stabilize oestrogen levels and prevent migraines.
Diets high in healthy fats will help to relieve chronic headaches. Salmon, for example, contains a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce inflammation and cure your sore head. Or you can try olive oils, avocado, and other fish products such as sardines. Fish contain naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and nerve protecting benefits, which reduce the frequency and pain of headaches.

5 Signs of narcissistic perversion
Narcissism is a term we often see these days. But what does it mean? It's used to describe a person who is full of themselves or overly vain. However, it's not really about self-love.
Fact or fiction? Is it truly healthy?
There's so much contradictory health advice out there, it gets confusing. One year, butter is said to be bad for you, and margarine is better. The following year, it's the other way around. One article says running causes strain on your joints; another says it's good for you because it increases bone strength.
Motivation can be somewhat elusive - some days, you just can't seem to make yourself do the stuff you don't want to. But putting things off just leads to stress, frustration and a sense of guilt.
Sometimes it’s hard to notice when we've become trapped in familiar routines. Take our quiz to find out if you’re stuck in a rut and what you can do about it.

Six things we think will make us happy, but don't!
When you think about things that will make you happy, what are the images that come to mind? Wealth, beauty, a dream house, long holidays, a top of the range car? Happiness is not a constant and how happy we feel depends on the way we choose to live our lives.
Is your sex life putting your relationship at risk?
Sexual desire is a complex interaction of hormones, emotions and well-being. When your partner is not as interested in sex as you are, it’s rarely a rejection of you as a person. So it’s essential to be as empathetic as you can regarding your differing libidos.
