Headaches are so common that the United States forks out over $1 billion every year to get relief from migraines. This is just the cost for treatment and doesn’t include costs lost due to the result of the debilitating effects such as lost workdays and reduced employee productivity.

It never ceases to amaze me how effective the nutrition plan is at controlling the vast majority of headaches, especially severe migraines.

In my experience, over 75 percent of people show remarkable improvement with their headaches once they modify their diet and begin following the plan. The wonderful thing is the headache relief comes quickly, usually occurring in the first couple of days. This is especially comforting information for those suffering from migraines who want instant relief, the sooner the better.

The nutrition plan virtually eliminates all common food-related causes of headaches. Perhaps the most important one is the major challenges that most people have with insulin shifts. This rapidly resolves once grains and sugars are removed from the diet.

It is important to remember when first starting the program to eat every two hours while you are awake, otherwise you may risk the chance of worse headaches due to hypoglycemic episodes.

Psychological acupuncture approaches are also incredibly effective in treating headaches and I recommend this free manual to introduce you to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which involves tapping on specific energy meridians and has been incredibly successful in providing permanent relief to many of my patients.

This technique is similar to acupuncture in that it deals with your body’s energy meridians, however is less invasive since it doesn’t involve the use of needles and for mild conditions can be performed without going to see a practitioner. The importance of emotional health is often overlooked and I can’t express how critical it is to maintaining your physical health.
