Hydrate

Dehydration may cause headaches and migraines, but a recent study suggests that hydrated might help to relieve and even prevent headache pain.

According to the American Migraine Foundation, dehydration is a cause for one out of every three migraine patients. Keeping hydrated in between attacks may therefore help to prevent some. People who drank the appropriate amount of water each day had headaches that were: less frequent, less severe and shorter in duration. According to Roderick Spears, MD, a neurologist and headache specialist at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, aggressive hydration can help minimize the duration of a migraine attack. If you don't drink enough water on a daily basis, increasing your intake can help relieve migraine symptoms and prevent future attacks.
