Headaches

Are you one of the many who suffer from headaches; both mild and severe, during and after exercise? The symptom of an aching head can be strong indicator that we are either mildly or severely dehydrated. A headache is generally a hot head that needs to be cooled down due to the body being short of H2O (water) and running hot.

If headaches are common for you or even for the one off, drink plenty of water with a pinch of unrefined rock salt or sea salt (sodium chloride) and try eating bananas before and after your workout. Bananas have a proven record of helping and alleviating sore heads and migraines.
