Top 3 Headache Solutions
-
Drink more water: At the first sign of a headache, slowly drink a couple of large glasses of water or eat fruit/veggies with high water content since some headaches are caused by dehydration.
-
Eat something: Going too long without food affects your blood sugar levels, which can lead to a headache. Choose healthy protein- or wholegrain-based snacks…no sugar!
