5) Eat more potassium-rich foods

If you want to knock out a a headache, eat more potassium-rich foods on the regular. Not a nutrient to supplement with unless prescribed by a physician, as it’s a major electrolyte and excess can affect your heart.

All-stars include beet greens, Swiss chard, sweet potatoes, spinach, beans, and — as any Idaho college alumni with tell you — potato skins are loaded with potassium.
