During the summer, we all spend more time outdoors in the hot sun, making us more likely to get dehydrated. Symptoms of dehydration include feeling tired, dizzy and thirsty. If that describes you, drink a glass of MILK – either dairy or soy – as soon as possible. According to the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, milk will rehydrate you faster than drinking water or a sports beverage. The reason? Because milk replaces fluid lost to sweat AND at the same time replenishes sodium, carbs and protein, which our body needs to operate properly. Again – the quickest way to get properly rehydrated is to drink a glass of soy or dairy milk, ASAP.

It’s not surprising. According to Dr. Seth Marquit, the medical director at the Pritikin Longevity Center, any time you make a major dietary change – even if it’s healthy – it can throw off your system, and one side effect is headaches. Like if you cut out chocolate – or caffeine… both of which HELP head pain. The good news is, the headaches will be a short-term problem and should disappear once your body adjusts to the new eating plan. But in the meantime, here are a few natural ways to get rid of them.

First: Drink a glass of water. Headaches can be caused by dehydration. Once you’re adequately hydrated, your blood will flow more smoothly and the pain should subside.

Another natural headache cure: Pinch the spot between your thumb and index finger for 60 seconds. That’s an acupressure point that can relieve head pain.

Lastly, try aromatherapy – and take a whiff of an essential oil like eucalyptus, basil or peppermint. They all trigger a relaxation response.

Staying hydrated can save your kidneys. Downing enough water to produce two quarts of urine daily helps your body flush out junk that could cause kidney stones.

We’re more prone to headaches in the winter.

That’s because changes in temperature and barometric pressure are big triggers. They have an effect on nerves and blood vessels. Plus, the dry air this time of year can make you more prone to sinus issues that can also trigger headaches. The best thing you can do is to stay hydrated – and to keep a humidifier in your bedroom. That’ll help your sinuses. And if you know a storm is coming, pop some ibuprofen ahead of time.
