Diet Therapy for Headache
The best way to prevent headaches is to build up physical
resistance through proper nutrition, physical exercise and
positive thinking. As a first step, the patient should
undertake a short fast, and take citrus fruit juices diluted
with water every two hours from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. daily.
Thereafter, he should plan his diet in such a way as to put
the least possible strain on the digestion. Breakfast may
consist of fruits, both fresh and dried. Lunch may consist of
protein foods. Starchy foods such as whole wheat bread,
cereals, rice, or-potatoes should be taken at dinner along
with raw salads. Spices, condiments, sour buttermilk, and
oily foodstuffs should be avoided. Drinking a glass of water
(warm water in winter and cool water in summer), mixed
with a teaspoon of honey first thing in the morning, is also a
good remedy. Copious drinking of water throughout the day
is also advised.
