Salty Foods & Snacks

​

Now I've spoken about the spicy chilis, now let me tell you why after throwing up, I look to eat something salty...

Salty foods or snacks are often tolerated well with nausea, and can replenish sodium lost from vomiting...

Seasoning is usually a no-no for nausea, but there are two exceptions: salt and ginger which I added in the ramen soup I made earlier...

Not only does salt make food taste better, but it helps to support the balance of fluids in the body, reducing the risk of both dehydration and overhydration, along with supporting healthy digestion, good sleep, and so much more.

Please note, this works for me! 

If you suffer with high blood pressure then it's a no.....

What does soup have to do with Migraines or any other headaches.

You may ask, what does soup have to do with Migraines or any other type of headaches? 

Well take a read...

Dehydration is a major cause of headaches, so instead of popping a pill the next time your head hurts, consider reaching for water-rich foods, like watermelon. Other foods with high water content include berries, cucumber, melon, soups, oatmeal, tomatoes and lettuce but these are for regular headaches.

But that's not all...

Like I said what does soup have to do with Migraines?

Well this may explain why several different spicy soup may help. Both hot soup and hot gumbo with chili peppers seem to work to control migraines,capsaicin, the compound that gives hot peppers their kick, seem to work wonders. In all my soups I add chili flakes, presumably because of their effects on those TRP (transient receptor potential) channels...Eating some spicy soup at the first hint of a migraine headache can stimulate TRP channels in the neurons and reverse the pain cascade.

It may seem strange to use chili peppers to combat migraines, but I find this remedy to work if used at the first sign of a headache unfortunately for me I was at work when I got the attack.

It may not work for everyone, but it works for me.
