【頭痛拜拜】頭痛是都市人的頭號敵人,有時候真的痛到有頭頂快要爆炸的感覺。引起頭痛的原因很多,包括情緒壓力、內分泌失調、飲食不衡等。頭痛患者少不免都會止痛藥不離手,但過度使用止痛藥會讓中樞神經變得更敏感,讓中樞抑制疼痛的能力下降,反而更容易頭痛。
除了要調節作息時間及舒緩壓力外,我們也可以從日常飲食入手。頭痛主要是跟血管、神經、腦內傳導物質都有關係的疼痛。所以我們在日常飲食中少吃一點會刺激神經、血管的食物,對減少頭痛發作會有一定的幫助。
加工食物
肉類在加工過程中會加入硝酸鹽,攝入硝酸鹽會誘發頭痛。
食物例子:香腸、臘腸、火腿
含酪胺酸成分的食物
酪胺酸是一種非必要的胺基酸,這種成分會令身體釋放腎上腺素和血清素,會造成血管痙攣,引發頭痛。
食物例子:芝士、朱古力、柑橘類水果
酒精
喝酒後頭痛是由於酒精分解後形成乙醛,刺激神經,令血管擴張引起頭痛,加速發炎反應。
刺激性的食物
這些食物會造成神經敏感或引起身體過敏反應,引發頭痛。
食物例子:辣椒、花椒
味精
味精裏的主要成分麩胺酸鈉是一種胺基酸和神經傳導素,在神經系統裡會引起刺激的作用。如果攝取過多味精會令麩胺酸濃度過量,引發頭痛。
食物例子:即食麵、薯片、醬汁
代糖
代糖會引起刺激或干擾神經末梢,造成肌肉緊繃,誘發頭痛。
食物例子:無糖汽水

【Let's say goodbye to headache】Headache is our number one enemy, it hurts so much and you have the feeling that the head is exploding. There are many reasons for headaches, including emotional stress, endocrine disorders, and dietary imbalances. Usually people suffering from headaches rely on painkillers, but excessive use of painkillers will reduce the ability of the central nervous system to suppress pain, which makes it more prone to headaches.
Besides adjusting rest periods and to relieve stress, we can also prevent the intake of certain kinds of food in our diet. Headaches are mainly pain related to blood vessels, nerves, and brain conductive materials. Therefore, preventing the intake of food that stimulates nerves and blood vessels in our daily diet, can help to prevent headache.
Processed food
Nitrite is added to meats during processing, and which can induce headaches.
Food examples: sausage, sausage, ham
Foods containing tyrosine
Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid. This component causes the body to release adrenaline and serotonin, which can cause vasospasm and cause headaches.
Food examples: cheese, chocolate, citrus fruits
Alcohol
Headache after drinking is caused by the decomposition of alcohol to form acetaldehyde, which stimulates nerves, dilates blood vessels, which causes headaches, and accelerates inflammation.
Irritating food
These foods can cause nerve sensitivity or allergic reactions in the body, causing headaches.
Food examples: chili, pepper
MSG
The main component of MSG, sodium glutamate, is an amino acid and neurotransmitter, which can cause irritation in the nervous system. If you consume too much MSG, the concentration of glutamine will be excessive and cause headaches.
Food examples: instant noodles, potato chips, sauces
Sweeteners
Sugar substitutes can cause irritation or interference with nerve endings, causing muscle tension and headaches.
Food example: sugar-free soda
