As common as the problem of headache is, its causes can be equally complex. Both external and internal reasons can be responsible for headaches, such as stress arising from a particular event and external circumstances which can cause headaches. Your physical condition can also be responsible for this.
Let us tell you that the problem of headaches can also arise due to a lack of nutrients in the body. In this article, we are telling you about some such vitamins, the deficiency of which can cause headaches. Let us tell you that we talked to Dr. Brijendra Singh, General Physician of Lucknow about this and are sharing the information received from him with you here.
Dr. Brijendra Singh explains that vitamins are natural compounds that provide the nutrition and energy necessary for the body to function. Most of the vitamins required by the body are obtained from the diet. While other vitamins the body acquires through exposure to the sun or other natural processes.
In such a situation, if any vitamin is deficient in the body due to diet or wrong lifestyle, then the functioning of the body gets disrupted. In such a situation, other symptoms start appearing along with headache. If we talk about vitamins, then mainly deficiency of Vitamin B, Vitamin E and Vitamin D causes headaches. Let us know about them in detail.
Vitamin B
If the problem of frequent headaches is troubling you, then an amino acid called homocysteine may also be responsible to some extent for this. Let us tell you that this homocysteine is naturally produced in the body and its increased level can cause many problems. Especially this causes the problem of headache. In such a situation, it is very important to control it and Vitamin B plays a very effective role in this.
Both Vitamin B-6 and Vitamin B-12 are proven to help control headaches by reducing the levels of homocysteine in the body. To supply Vitamin B-6, you can consume milk, eggs, salmon, banana and avocado. Whereas the main sources of Vitamin B12 are meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. This vitamin is found in very small quantities in vegetarian food, hence vegetarian people can take the help supplements to fulfil it.
Vitamin E
Many women suffer from severe headaches or migraine during periods. Arachidonic acid is the cause of headaches during periods. Let us tell you that Vitamin E plays an important role in dealing with “menstrual migraine” by controlling the amount of arachidonic acid in the body. Talking about the supply of Vitamin E, you can include walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and peanuts in your diet.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency may be mainly responsible for headaches. Frequent headaches are one of the main symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, if you are often troubled by the problem of headache, then you must get a Vitamin D test done.
It is noteworthy that sunlight is the main source of Vitamin D. For this you can take morning sunlight. Along with this, dairy products, tofu, mushrooms, eggs and fish can be included in the diet to supply Vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in good quantity in all these things.
