Beating the summer headache

During summer, you will be having your share of discomfort, especially in the form of headache (this can be sometimes gruesome too). Hence, I have listed below some of the safe points below to follow during this summer so that you can beat this irritating headache.

1.      Avoiding hot and spicy food can help you bring down the pain in your head.

2.      Drink a tall glass of water as soon as your head starts to hurt.

3.      Maintain moderate AC temperature. 25-27 degrees celsius room temperature is ideal for the human body.

4.      You should have sufficient amount of fluid intake which may include fresh juices, water, and coconut water. At the same time, overhydration can also throw off the balance of electrolytes. So drink water with balance.

5.      Avoid over consumption of caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee as these drinks contribute to dehydration.

6.      One should also have food at the right time as delay in any meal could make your health suffer.

7.      Sleep for 7 to 8 hours every night. You may feel stressed out due to interrupted sleep which may become the reason for your bad headache.

8.      When you feel stressed or out of energy, relax and close your eyes.

9.      If you experience any stressful situation, then focus on a soothing one.

The key to this article is that don’t panic when you have a headache, especially during this pandemic time. It can be due to your already existing health condition. It can also be due to the fact that you are always sitting before the computer (work from home). It can also be due to the other points mentioned above. Just take steps to remedy the headache and ensure that it doesn’t persist (if it persists for a really long time, then it is something to worry).

Regular exercise will also solve this problem. You know your body well and you can avoid this hurt in the head with care from your side. 

Though I am not a doctor, I have written this article keeping in mind the panic that goes through everyone’s mind. The above-mentioned points are time-tested remedies only and hence there is no harm following them. I just took the initiative to write this.
