Stay hydrated
Although it sounds totally crazy, human beings are mostly made of water.
So weird to think about, but true!
If you’re not a fan of water (it’s boring and tasteless, okay?!
), there are a couple hacks that’ll supplement your water intake.
Drink coffee
Raise your hand if you’re not a morning person!
Luckily, nutritionistTehzeen Lalanitold me that those who are prone to headaches have an ally in coffee.

Have no fear: your hangover cure is here!
Nutritionist Tehzeeb Lalani revealed to me that green smoothies in the morning are the key to battling hangover headaches.
According to Dr. Reddy, cutting out “simple, refined sugars” like cake (sorry!
), chips, and pasta is the best way to avoid this key in of headache.
So stay hydrated and add (or remove!)
these foods to your daily routine to stop a headache before it even starts.
