soothe headache

from Woman's Day magazine , I read an article about food and headaches. Give it a try and respond so all might know if these foods help you or not.
Bake potato:with the skin is great source of potassium which can be one of the elements lacking when a headache arrives.
Watermelon: Dehydration is one of the causes of headaches, so reach for some water-rich foods like watermelon. Any fruit contains some water and minerals which will help with prevention. Keep yourself hydrated as much as possible for prevention.
Coffee: Yes, in moderation, java does work. How! helps reduce the blood vessels which might help with the headache.
Whole grain: too little carbs might bring on a headache. If you suspect this is the case, grab a healthy carb-whole wheat brand, oatmeal, fruit or yogurt. Might also get you in a better mood by increasing the serotonin(the so called fell-good hormone).
Almonds (my favorite nut) magnesium may protect from the brunt of a headache by relaxing the blood vessels. Some other sources for magnesium are bananas, avocados, brown rice, legumes.
Yogurt: have been mentioning a lot-also contains calcium which your body could be calling for when the headache arrives.
Sesame seeds: sprinkle them on salads or on top of oatmeal soups. These tiny seeds hold a big punch. Improves circulation, stabilize estrogen levels and good source of magnesium.
Spinach: Has been shown to decrease blood vessel pressure, prevent hangovers and may help with headache. Try using spinach for your salad, watermelon, apricots and some walnuts and you have a powerful headache relief formula.
REMEMBER these are all just suggestions that might help. Don't hold me or Woman's day to this as a hard fact.
