Many people suffer from headaches during weather changes and during the humid and hot days of summer, which most often manifest as a dull ache or pressure in the top of the head.

It is usually accompanied by fatigue, drowsiness and lack of concentration, as well as slowness in performing daily tasks.

Fortunately, there is a way to ease the pain, so you don't have to immediately reach for a pill. Try washing with cold water first, wetting your wrists and neck or taking a shower.

This will cool you down and possibly reduce the pain. If there is fresh air outside, walk for a few minutes, as this often helps too.

In addition, be sure to drink more fluids, because one of the causes of headaches can be dehydration.

A good way to do this is to fill a water bottle and keep it with you so you can take a few sips every 20 minutes to half an hour.

A cold slice of watermelon or cantaloupe will also help, cooling you down and rehydrating you.

Light herbal teas and even a coffee to wake you up are also recommended, but be aware that both contain caffeine, which acts as a diuretic and can promote dehydration, so it's not good to overdo it.

Definitely avoid carbonated drinks and alcohol, as they lead to increased loss of electrolytes, especially Kaliumyth. This is why plain water and fresh squeezed juices are the best choice, avoid store bought ones because of the added sugars.

Do not skip meals, because hunger, i.e. the drop in blood sugar, can also be the "culprit" for headaches. During these days, stay away from diets that are based on the elimination of carbohydrates, as this can lead to a decrease in the level of glycogen, which is the main energy for the brain.

But choose healthy carbohydrates, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, dark chocolate and the like, because they break down slowly and won't cause your blood sugar to spike.

A headache can also be a sign that the body lacks some valuable nutrients, mainly kaliumi, magnesium and calcium, so it is good to take care of their compensation through the diet.

Among the best sources of kaliubaked potatoes are a myth: 100 grams have an incredible amount of 721 milligrams of kalium.

For the sake of comparison, a banana contains 467 milligrams of kalium, but it is also important because of the significant amount of magnesium (22 milligrams).

Fruit and vegetable juices also contain kalium, but also other mineral substances, especially green leafy vegetables. Walnuts are also rich in the mentioned combination of minerals, so it is not bad to eat them when you have a headache.
