Water, potatoes and nuts can relieve headaches, nutritionist Ludmila Denisenko said. She is quoted by KP.RU.

Denisenko called clean still water the simplest remedy for headaches. “Firstly, this is the first cure for a hangover, and secondly, chronic dehydration can provoke various pains, including headaches. Therefore, if you have not yet started drinking 1.5-2 liters of water every day, then the New Year is a great time to start this healthy habit, “she added, explaining that chronic dehydration leads, among other things, to colitis. and accompanying constipation, migraines, and lower back pain.

The nutritionist also advised Russians to eat potatoes baked with peels for headaches – a source of potassium, pumpkin seeds – a source of magnesium and zinc, and almonds – a source of magnesium and vitamin B2. In addition, you can eat fatty fish: herring, mackerel, sardines. “Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fatty fish, have anti-inflammatory properties, which means they help reduce the frequency and severity of attacks of chronic headaches,” explained Denisenko.

In conclusion, the doctor urged those suffering from headaches to drink ginger tea, which has anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, and to eat cayenne pepper. “Of course, you can't eat a lot of it, but sprinkling a chopped tomato with hot pepper makes it a great pain reliever,” she added.

Foods containing tyramine can provoke pain. These include long-term protein foods, smoked meats, red wine, canned food and homemade products, chocolate, bananas, and pine nuts.

Earlier on January 1, endocrinologist Oksana Mikhaleva revealed three ways to combat a hangover. The first step is to restore fluid and mineral deficiencies in the body, she said. In this case, you can use rehydration solutions from the pharmacy or simply drink mineral water, cucumber pickle, low-fat kefir or whey.

Russia's demands on the United States and NATO for security guarantees contradict the existing security order in Europe. This concern was expressed during the New Year's address by the President of Finland, Sauli Niinistö, reports TASS.

“Areas of interest have no place in the 2020s. The sovereign equality of all states is a basic principle that everyone should respect, ”the head of state said.

Niinistö stressed that patience, responsibility and dialogue are the only way forward. According to him, a sustainable future cannot be built using military force or violence.

“The sovereignty of several EU countries, including Sweden and Finland, has been called into question [by politicians] outside the EU. This makes the EU an involved party, the EU should not be content with just the role of the technical coordinator of sanctions, ”said the Finnish leader and added that Helsinki's line in foreign and security policy remains stable.

On December 14, it was reported that US President Joe Biden and Niinistö discussed “common concerns” about Russia's actions near the border with Ukraine. The heads of state noted the importance of the transatlantic efforts to de-escalate the current situation.

Former US ambassadors to Russia are calling on US President Joe Biden for anti-Russian sanctions to thwart security talks. A member of the Federation Council Alexey Pushkov wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

“This is their main purpose. Threats of so-called “hellish sanctions” instead of providing guarantees to Russia is a sure way to disrupt negotiations, “the senator added.

Thus, he responded to the call of 24 American experts on Russia and former US ambassadors to Biden to publish a list of measures that the White House intends to take in the event of a Moscow attack on Ukraine. According to diplomats, the plan of sanctions must be brought to the attention of the Russian Federation now, “so that the Kremlin has a clear idea of the scale of the economic blow that it will face.”
