5. To Drink Coffee and NOT to Drink Too Much Coffee

5. To Drink Coffee and NOT to Drink Too Much Coffee

Caffeine causes blood vessels to narrow and restricts blood flow around the brain, which can relieve pain.

However consuming caffeine on the regular may lead to withdrawal headaches if you suddenly stop drinking your caffeine-laced drink.
