HEALTHIER MEDICATIONS FOR HEADACHES

By Functional Medical Institute

Everyday, more than 30 million people worldwide take an anti-inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen or Aspirin.

Although these over-the-counter medications do reduce pain caused from inflammation, there's a trade-off.

First of all, they destroy the lining of the gut, which can lead to ulcers, stomach bleeding and even a kidney failure.

If that's not enough to keep you away, these drugs can also increase your chance of heart attack or stroke. Let's talk about some healthy alternatives.

When it comes to headaches, low magnesium is a key contributor. Actually, it's estimated that about 75% of Americans aren't getting enough magnesium.

Dark, leafy greens like spinach are the best way to get magnesium from food. You can also take a high quality supplement.

The best options, when it comes to headaches, are Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Malate (400-600 mg daily).

Another way to combat headaches is with B12 (2000-5000 mcg), which contains a rare metal that is extremely important for the functioning of the nervous system and red blood cell production.

Most people can consume adequate amounts of B12 through a healthy diet but if you're struggling with constant headaches or even migraines, B12 supplementation is worth the shot because it does not have any adverse side effects and may even give you a boost of energy.
