Today I want to share with you a few tips how to get rid of a headache, or, ideally, not even to experience headaches, ever.
No-No!
First: DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST! Are you one of those people who get up in the morning and go:”I don’t need breakfast, I’m fine, I’m gonna be fine, I have a splitting headache but I’m fine, I’ll just power right through this, yep, I’m gonna lose weight, I’m gonna just have one meal a day…”
Don’t do it! When you wake up in the morning…
Okay, consider this: You get into your car. Key in the ignition. Foot on the gas pedal. Nothing happens. Should work, right? You’re sitting in it. You wanna go somewhere. But if you forgot to put gas in it, it’s just not gonna happen.
Same with your body: You must feed it in the morning. You must put fuel in your tank, in order for it to go. Otherwise it’ll digest the acid and the bile, and all that extra acidity, and it can give you a raging headache.
Why do I now that? Well, uhm, hmm, let me think… I must have read about it somewhere… yeah, I read about it, aha.
Yes, I’ve done it, don’t look at me like that. 😉
Anyway, if you’re smart — which you are, since you’re watching this tape, ah, that was a good one — please eat breakfast in the morning, okay? Thank you. Eat something that feels good, eat something that makes you happy, that’s healthy. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount, but please, feed your body in the morning, all right? Good.
Second: Don’t eat late at night, especially not a heavy meal. We’re not in Italy, we’re not in Spain, we’re not in France, we’re not in Mexico, where they can get away with that. I don’t know why, but somehow they get away with that. We can’t.
Coming to the good foods. YES!
The good foods are: Fresh things. Who’d have thunk it? Fruit is already naturally cooked by Nature, right? It just ripens on the tree, it plops to the ground, we pick it up, and we munch it.
Therefore, it doesn’t need a whole lot of digestion. Therefore it digests really quickly. Within an hour or so fruit is usually digested. Now if you have other food items that you ate first, that sit in there longer, that need longer to be digested — so they’ll take like 2 or 3 hours — and you put fruit on top of that, can the fruit get digested? Can it get through that gridlock in your tummy? Nuh-uh. Nope. Will not work.
So it sits there, it festers. It just sits, and festers, and ferments, while this is slowly being digested. And the fruit goes: “Come one, come on, come on, let me through, let me through, let me through.” “Nope. I’m gonna take my sweet old time here.” “Oh please, please, please, I wanna get digested quickly, I wanna get out the other end.” “Nope. I’m still doing my thing here.”
Sorry ’bout that, I don’t know where that came from.
Anyway, does it make it clear? Never, ever, ever, ever have fruit at the end of a meal, after you’ve eaten a whole lot of other things.
Fruit needs to be eaten first. Maybe 10 minutes before a meal, or by itself, and melon, especially melon, needs to be eaten away from other foods.
That was the first part of the food part of HOW TO GET RID OF A HEADACHE.
