9 Foods That Causes Headache





Alcohol :-  

  • Your horrible headaches could be triggered by foods. Alcohol, chocolate, and caffeine have all been identified as headache triggers. "It is not unusual at all for food to trigger migraines or other types of headaches," says Noah Rosen, MD, director of the Headache Institute at North Shore-LIJ Health System in Long Island, N.Y. There are a few classic foods that trigger headaches in many people, but many different foods can trigger headaches for certain individuals. That's why keeping a food diary to document your headaches is a good idea.

    Chocolate 


    Is chocolate really a migraine trigger?
    Research recently presented at the International Headache Society suggests that cocoa may actually protect the nerve cells that cause migraine headaches. But 22 percent of headache sufferers identify chocolate as one of their headache triggers. "Chocolate may be getting a bad rap as a migraine 
    trigger," says Dr. Rosen. “Many people with migraines have increased appetite and food cravings just before their headaches start." Reaching for a chocolate bar may be the result of migraine,rather than the cause.

    Red wine and other alcohol reactions
    Sulfites used as preservatives in red wine have been linked to migraine headaches. Alcohol in any drink causes increased blood flow to your brain and can also result in dehydration, both of which might be headache triggers. "People with migraines tend to get worse hangovers from any type of alcohol," notes Robert Daroff, MD, professor of neurology at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, and past president of the American Headache Society. “Alcohol will also trigger a headache in someone going through a period of cluster headaches.”

    Coffee :- Headache trigger or pain reliever?
    If you sleep later on the weekend and you wake up with a headache, you probably have a caffeine withdrawal headache," says Dr. Daroff. A little caffeine can actually help get rid of a migraine headache, and caffeine may be included in some migraine medications, but too much caffeine can be a headache trigger when you come down from your caffeine "high." Research shows that you need to be drinking about 200 milligrams of caffeine (about two to three cups of coffee) to get a withdrawal headache when you miss your "dose."

    Cheese :- Older is not better for migraines 

    There is not much research on cheese as a migrainetrigger, but it is generally agreed that aged cheese is more likely to cause a headache," explains Rosen. The culprit may be a substance called tyramine that forms as the proteins in cheese break down over time. The longer a cheese ages, the more tyramine it has. Examples you might want to skip to avoid headaches include blue cheese, Swiss, cheddar, gouda, and parmesan.

    Hold the soy sauce and MSG ;- 
    Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is found in soy sauce and as a food additive in many other foods, has been found to cause cramps, diarrhea, and a horrible headache in 10 to 15 percent of people who get migraine headaches. "Soy sauce as a migraine trigger is probably due to MSG, but soy sauce is also very salty, which can lead to dehydration, another possible headache trigger," notes Rosen.

    Ice cream: it's the ice, not the cream 

    The stabbing pain you get when you eat ice cream too fast is a reaction to the cold, not the ice cream itself. An ice cream headache is more likely if you are overheated. The pain peaks in about 30 to 60 seconds. "Cold foods like ice cream may be migraine triggers for people who suffer from migraines, but for most people, the pain goes away quickly. The solution is to eat your ice cream or drink your cold drink more slowly," advises Daroff.

    Bananas:- serious headache trigger 
    Well, maybe. Bananas usually don’t appear on lists of foods that are headache triggers, but they could
     trigger a migraine for people who are sensitive to tyramine, the same substance found in aged cheese. Studies show that the peel has about 10 times more tyramine than the banana pulp. There are no reliable studies on this, but you might want to avoid those stringy pieces of inner peel that stick to your banana if a food diary points to it as a likely migraine trigger for you.

    Processed meats and headaches 
    There are no good studies that say processed meats will cause you to get a headache," says Rosen. But the nitrates and nitrites used as preservatives in hot dogs, bacon, and lunch meats may dilate blood vessels and trigger headaches in some people. According to the American Headache Society, studies can't tell you what food may trigger your headaches, but many people do have food triggers. The best advice is to keep a food diary, avoid foods that seem to trigger your headaches, stick to a healthy diet, and don't skip meals. Cure your headache at home here

The G-whiz position you need to try in your next sex

Image
Definition - What does  The G-Whiz Position  mean? 7 exercises for better orgasm The G-whiz is a variation of the missionary position, and an excellent way to stimulate a woman's G-spot. This position starts out just like the missionary position, with the woman lying on her back and the man kneeling between her thighs. Before entering her, however, the woman raises her legs and rests her calves on his shoulders. The G-whiz is also called The Anvil. Oajibola Explains  The G-Whiz Position One of the reasons this position can rock a woman's world is because it allows the penis to massage the G-spot, a small yet highly sensitive area on the front wall of the vagina. Because hard thrusting against the spot can be more uncomfortable than pleasurable, men should thrust gently at first by simply rocking. To give the woman more control in this position, she can place her feet on the front of the man's shoulders, which can help her adjust the speed and dep

What Are The Penalties For Public Nudity In Cities Around The World

Image
Most people are born without clothes on, but only a judge can decide if your body is offensive or not. Throughout history, how we perceive nudity has evolved, and slowly but surely, more and more governments have welcomed people to shed their clothes and show off their birthday suits. Relative to other laws, such as those public sex acts and indecent exposure, legislation against public nudity has been rather lax in western cultures, with many courts allowing citizens to feel the breeze between their knees without undesirable fabric getting in the way. Yet depending on location, views on nakedness and clothing in general can shift remarkably. The line between free expression and obscenity comes down to the courts. Police and judges can interpret the very loose terminology of "lewd," "obscene," or "indecent" in anyway they see fit, and that goes for public and private spaces. In some places, clothes are getting looser, in others they haven’t even begu
