I discovered this after finding that being hydrated kept me from having migraines. Breakfast for me is 40 - 50 oz total of OJ, milk and tea over about an hour. I feel fifteen years older when I wake up, and fifteen years younger, firing on all cylinders, after breakfast.
...”finding that being hydrated kept me from having migraines”....
Oh really!...I just started having migraines a couple years ago..and though only a few times a year, and wow are they nasty, vomiting and all, I wonder if i was dehydrated??? Hummm...I have to think on this...So thanks for posting that!
I found the same results. When I was young, and assigned to Guam, I was awful at keeping myself hydrated. I had some many frequest headaches and migranes I thought I had a tumor. Eventually, I ended up taking a series of medicines that only made me feel like a zombie (no headaches, cause I was sleeping, face down on my typwriter!) Finally, I took the advice of my doctor, after lying to him repeatedly by telling him I drank plenty of fluids, and I made it a point to stay hydrated. The migranes went away. That was about 30 years ago. I do get the occasional headache, but I can almost always see the connection with poor hydration prior to the pain. Hydration works.
I really skimp on liquids...except for coffee ,.which is of course a diuretic.
I may want to add more liquids.
InMemoriam, be careful of all that orange juice. Water hydrates better than anything. OJ is used to shoot up the blood sugar of diabetics when they are having lows ( my mom was diabetic). All of that OJ might be doing a number on your pancreas.
