As I mentioned
I have been addicted to Coke since the last few months, and I just found out today the reason. I have been having these horrible headaches with nausea, and it never occurred to me that maybe I just suffer from migraine. A friend of mine was telling me how she takes caffeine for it, and everything felt into place. The reason why I have been drinking coke, is because as soon as I take an extra cold glass of coke, my headache goes away! This may sound silly for some, but that never went through my mind.As Im just taking water, my days have been miserable with the pain, so we will have to find another way to consume caffeine. I will make an appointment for the doctor next week, and I will try to find healthy solutions for my problem.
The truth is that we NEED water. Every living creature needs water. Every single system in our body depends on water. This means that when you don’t get enough water, your body cant function properly. The question is: How much water do I need? There is no a genera
l answer for that question. Every person needs a different amount of water depending in lots of factors.
l answer for that question. Every person needs a different amount of water depending in lots of factors. I was browsing around to find out how much water do we need and I found out that an adult urine around 1.5 liters a day, and lose around 1 liter through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. In order to replace those lost fluids, an adult need to take around 8.5 glasses of water, together with a good balanced food. In addittion to this as we are excersising (and will be doing more starting next week), we need to take around 3 extra cups or water. Another factor is that we live in the Caribbean with hot temperature all year long. So, we need an extra water for that (hubby needs a bit more because she spents more time on the sun).
Conclusion:
- Me: 2.5 liters equivalent to 10.5 glasses of water
- Me: 2.5 liters equivalent to 10.5 glasses of water
- Hubby: 3.5 liters equivalent to almost 15 glasses of water

I would say to check out WHAT & WHEN you are eating.. probably those headackes are that you are not giving your body the sufficient amount of valuable foods (with protein) or, maybe you are waiting too long to eat or snack (are you skipping meals?). Remember that sugar levels have a roll in this game.. so check that out. It might be that you are not eating properly. I get horrible headackes when I am due for food ( meal or snack) as soon as I have something, then it goes away.
I am an at home father of twins who also has started trying to lose weight along with my wife. I was addicted to Mountain Dew for the very same reasons as you. (Cured my headache) I have found a fantastic source of caffeine without the jitters in Morning Thunder tea.
Gus: At first we thought it was for food but is not. I could eat, and it wont go away, even with foods with protein. Yesterday I was thinking more about it, and I remembered that I had those headaches with my last pregnacy, and my OB couldnt find a logic explanation, even though at the beginnings we thought it was high blood pressure.
Scorpion: Welcome to my blog! Im going to try the Morning Thunder Tea... I just googled in they have it in Amazon. Thanks!!
perhaps your caffeine withdrawels is what is giving you your migraines? after 2 weeks you will be fine! just drink lots and lots of water. i get a headache if i DON'T drink water.
BB: I thought about that too. Maybe you are right and what I need is two weeks without it! I'll do my best! :-)
Man, I wish I could quit the caffeine. Only problem is, I would drop in my tracks. Having two very active little ones that sleep on different schedules allows for about three or four hours of sleep a night. We play catch-up on the weekends, but during the week I NEEDS MA CAFFEINE! Plus, tea has all those antioxidants that are great for you!
Scorpio: How old are your twins??
They are 14 months. (Or 12. They were ten weeks early) They are at that stage where they are running around, but if you leave the room they scream. LOUD.
