Foods that are good for relieving headaches

For those with chronic headaches, please take a look~ㅎ

 

<Almond>

Almonds are rich in tryptophan. This ingredient is an amino acid that helps promote the secretion of serotonin, which improves mood. Additionally, the magnesium contained in almonds helps relax muscles and blood vessels, and a component called salicin has pain-relieving effects, making it particularly effective for tension headaches.

Tension headache here refers to a type of headache caused by stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, etc., characterized by a feeling of pressure or tightness in the head.

 

<coffee>

 

Moderate coffee consumption can help alleviate headaches. The caffeine contained in coffee constricts blood vessels, which helps relieve headaches.

Coffee is especially effective for headaches caused by seasonal allergies. The antioxidants contained in coffee can reduce the secretion of histamine in the blood, calming allergic reactions and alleviating headaches.

However, excessive intake can actually cause headaches, so about one glass a day is appropriate.

 

<Mushroom>

 

There are many types of mushrooms, but particularly, Reishi mushroom, which contains compounds with anti-inflammatory effects, helps alleviate headaches caused by inflammatory responses.

Additionally, mushrooms contain various nutrients necessary for strengthening the immune system, as well as abundant vitamin B complex, vitamin D, and minerals, which can help with neural pain related to headaches or muscle relaxation.

 

Spinach

 

Spinach has the effect of lowering blood pressure and helps prevent chronic headaches. Additionally, the magnesium content and high water content in spinach help alleviate dehydration and hangover symptoms.

Therefore, spinach is effective not only for chronic headaches but also for relieving headaches caused by hangovers.

 

Salmon

 

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and alleviate headaches.

There are research findings indicating that fish oils, such as salmon oil, have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, which can reduce the frequency and pain of migraines.
