Five Weird Causes Of Headaches
If you have headaches, there are a few simple solutions that can help you. Lifescript.com reviews the surprising reasons you may be getting headaches, and how to avoid them.
Here are a few common causes of headaches:
1. Heat – Being out in the sun and getting overheated is a sure-fire trigger for a headache. Staying inside in the air-conditioning will keep you cool, but you don’t have to confine yourself to the indoors to avoid headaches. Be prepared to beat the heat with a cooling towel and fresh water. Wear a sun hat or visor to deflect the sun.
2. Medicine – Pain medication can actually cause headaches. Prescription narcotics and pain relievers contain caffeine and antihistamines that can spark headaches.
3. Skipping meals – If you forgot to eat, which can happen especially on busy days, your body will start firing off triggers because it’s lacking glucose (natural sugar). So be sure to eat at least every six hours and choose healthy options complete with protein.
4. Fermented food – Eating food that has fermented can cause headaches. So try to avoid foods like aged cheeses (blue, cheddar, Swiss) , sauerkraut, cider vinegar and soy sauce, all of which contain tyramine, an amino acid that constricts and expanding blood vessels, which can cause headaches.
5. Lacking magnesium – Your headache could simply mean you need to enjoy more foods that are sources of magnesium, such as spinach, whole grains, fish, seeds and nuts.
