Caffeine can help reduce tension headaches
Recent research carried out by the University of Essen, Germany, has revealed that caffeine could help to reduce tension headaches. Many people suffer from headaches that are caused by stressful jobs, demanding family environments or even a busy commute to work. In a recent study more than that 15,000 people were given one of six different pills which contained a mixture of aspirin, paracetamol, caffeine or a placebo. The study was on people ages 18 to 65, and results showed that those taking the caffeine charged pill, which also contained aspirin and paracetamol, had the pain from their headaches reduced by half on average 16 minutes quicker than the other combinations. These pills are actually similar to Anadin Extra, which is readily available on the market. Of course, in an ideal world, stress and tension should be reduced through a good diet and plenty of exercise. However, in reality, we cannot always meet these ideal conditions, and at times may suffer from stress headaches. If this happens, plenty of caffeine, with aspirin and paracetamol, seems to be the best solution.
