Drink water for relief from headaches

London: Drinking water regularly can reduce the severity of headaches and migraines, a new study has claimed.      Scientists from the University of Maastricht, Netherlands, observed that drinking around seven glasses of water a day was enough to ease pain and improve the quality of life in patients who regularly suffer headaches.      Lead researcher Dr Mark Spigt and his team recruited more than 100 patients who frequently suffered from severe or mild headaches, the 'Daily Mail' reported.      The team instructed them on how to ease their discomfort, including reducing stress, improving sleep and avoiding caffeine. Half the patients were also told to drink 1.5 litres of water a day for three months, on top of their normal liquid intake.      The results showed that participants drinking extra water showed significant relief from headache.
