Headaches may usually range from light to terrible, and are almost a daily occurrence for a large number of people. They are caused when blood passing through arteries in the brain push on the vessel walls, causing them to get inflamed, expanding and pushing on nerve cells nearby, and thus creating the sensation of pain we feel as headaches. This usually happens when your blood pressure gets raised, and also when you’re mentally or emotionally disturbed. Fortunately, these foods and drinks will help fix these issues:

Fish oil

Even though this may sound disgusting, to some, studies have shown that fish oil contains omega 3 fatty acids which improves heart function, stabilizes its rhythm, and also helps reduce blood pressure and inflammation of arteries, so they do not expand to cause headaches.

Mix a teaspoon of fish oil in a tall glass of cold orange juice and drink, or stick to the prescription if you are using fish oil tablets or supplements.

Drink water

Another major reason why headaches occur is because of dehydration: your brain loses water, shrinks, and pulls away from the skull, triggering pain receptors around the brain, and giving you a headache.

Statistics show that most people do not drink enough water throughout the day, but instead consume other liquids like coffee, alcohol, and other sugary drinks, which studies have shown, dehydrate you instead.

This may sound too simple to be true, but try it and see; drink a tall glass of water the next time you have a headache, and continue sipping water the rest day, you will see a remarkable change instantly, and in the long run, headaches will become alien to you.

Chew on ginger roots

Ginger roots have been proven to inhibit prostaglandin – a synthesis process in the body that produces fatty substances that are needed to alert the body to pain, and to inflame blood vessels, thereby reducing the chances of headaches occuring.

Spice it up

Cayenne is a spice that contains capsaicin, a substance that inhibits Substance P, another chemical that is needed in the body to help in pain perception.

This spice is famous for curing headaches, and can be crushed and drunk with warm water.

All these foods and drinks are easy, quick and cheap to make, and are guaranteed to work instantly. In the long run, they will eliminate headaches almost completely.

Detox

Evidently we all know the body does indeed clean itself naturally, however, it can only do this when given the chance to do so. Yes many people, particularly in the medical world, often dismiss the notion that we ever need to detox with the reasoning that the body detoxes all the time naturally, regardless of what we do.

Although this is very true, the best way to describe the situation is that if you always pollute the environment in which your cells bathe, then there will constantly be a degree of toxicity in our systems. Therefore, it is worthwhile to give your organs and digestive system an adequate recommended rest from the burden of all the processed foods we consume.

Tips: Keep Detox Simple, because all you really need is a juicer/blender, a flask, the appropriate fruit and veggies of your choice and, of course, the right attitude!

1. Prevent chronic disease.
   Environmental toxins are responsible for many cancers, neurological diseases, heart disease and strokes. Our bodies do have a built-in detox function to deal with these dangers, but those systems are constantly overloaded! Detoxing assists and improves what our bodies are trying to do naturally.
2. Remove toxins from the body.
   Long-term exposure to toxins (environmental pollutants, cancer-causing chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial waste) affects our metabolism, behavior, immune system, and leads to disease. They are stored in tissues and cells throughout the body, including the brain, often for years.
3. Lose weight.
   I’m sure you were all waiting for this one, toxins affect the body’s natural ability to burn fat, leading to weight gain. Diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are directly linked to weight issues. Detoxing rids the body of toxins stored in fat cells and increases metabolism.
4. Enhance immune system function.
   A compromised immune system makes us vulnerable to colds and flus, affecting our quality of life and productivity. Regular detoxing helps strengthen immune system functioning and fights off infection.
5. Increasing energy.
   Making you mentally, physically, and emotionally more energized after detoxing. People tend to sleep better and need less of it.
6. Slow premature aging.
   Detoxing rids the body of free radicals and heavy metals partially responsible for aging. Detoxing helps to increase nutrient absorption, including antioxidants and vitamins that help fight oxidative stress.
7. Improve quality of life.
   Very simply our bodies don’t function very well when they’re loaded with toxins. We may have joint pain, headaches, digestive disorders, sleep problems, and lack of energy.
8. Mental and emotional clarity.
   When the body’s systems are aligned, a shift also occurs with our mental and emotional states. We can deal with more when we’re clear and grounded. We can make better decisions, analyze accurately, and see things differently.
9. Improve skin quality.
   Diet and environmental toxins undeniably affect skin. Detoxing improves acne, and strengthens hair and nails, and gives us a natural, healthy glow.
10. Restore balance to our body’s systems.
    Our digestive, nervous, and hormonal systems were designed to work together to achieve optimum health. When we overload them with toxins and unhealthy foods, these systems don’t work as well as they should and we get sick.
    Detoxing brings balance back and helps our systems function properly again.
