The post Can You Take Painkillers on an Empty Stomach? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>It’s times like these when painkillers are our best friends. For many of us, ibuprofen is strong enough to do the trick. It is a key ingredient in medications like Advil and Motrin.
But ibuprofen does have one requirement: it should not be taken on an empty stomach.
Ibuprofen falls into a category known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which also includes asprin and naproxen sodium, more commonly known as Aleve.
NSAIDs have a habit of upsetting one’s stomach, which is why the FDA recommends that they be consumed with food or milk. This is because they lower the production of prostaglandin reduces the amount of stomach acid.
But what happens in those moments when your head feels like it might explode and you realise that you haven’t eaten for a while?
Your stomach should be able to tolerate the occasional tablet on an empty tummy, even though the irritation of the lining might leave you slightly nauseated.
If you are taking NSAIDs on a more regular basis, or in high doses, it is recommended that you put some food in your system beforehand. Snacks with fat or protein work best because they digest slower, so have some cheese and crackers or an apple with peanut butter.

]]>Dehydration
It’s extremely important to stay properly hydrated during or after your workout. In addition to leading to dizziness and fatigue, dehydration may also lead to a pretty bad headache.
Pre-Work Food
Nutrition can also play an important role in helping you avoid post-workout headaches. Your blood sugar level can drop if you don’t take in enough calories before exercising, and that’s why it’s recommended to always eat a carb-rich pre-workout snack.
Incorrect Posture
Tension headaches are often caused by incorrect posture, but this isn’t the only reason why you should exercise with proper form. This workout mistake can lead to soreness and injuries, and that’s why it’s recommended to work out with a trainer before you master all the moves.
High Heat
Working out in hot temperatures and bright sunlight can have a negative impact on your workout and lead to headaches. This is a pretty common problem during hot summer months, and you can avoid it by working out early or late in the day, and wearing a head covering and sunscreen.

]]>Staying Hydrated
Staying hydrated before and during an exercise is extremely important, even if your head doesn’t hurt afterward. Try sticking to water, because sports drinks can make things worse as they often contain a lot of sugar.

Poor posture can completely derail your fitness progress, and a headache is only one of the problems it can lead to. Having a healthy posture will help you ease the stress on your head, neck, and shoulders and help you avoid the pain you’ve been dealing with.
Avoid the Sun
If you enjoy outdoor workouts, make sure to exercise when it’s not too warm outside. Exposure to the sun can lead to a headache, but it’s easy to avoid by working out indoors or scheduling your workouts when it’s not too warm outside.

]]>Happy Baby Pose
The happy baby pose will do exactly what it says in its name. This is a simple exercise that will relax your neck, therefore release the tension and improve the blood flow. You will feel instantly better and refreshed. A great alternative is to do small swings to the right and to the left.
. . It’s officially #stretchtime, and I happily join @t_om_ma_h, @arcierojoe, and @adam_earthdominion in happy baby pose 
for #yogisstretchmonday. 
After that backbend earlier this morning it was important to massage the spine to keep it fluid.

Let’s just say I require my own bowl of salsa… #TacoTuesdayEveryday . . It’s day2⃣ of #yogainthestars2 and today is eagle pose
I always forget to practice this pose but I really do love it, especially how good it feels on my shoulders. Sitting at a computer 40 hours a week is a killer on my shoulders {and the rest of my body} and any shoulder opener feels like heaven 
. . Hosts: @ker.yoga @whitneydavisyoga @marta__milani @amy.yogini @stelasulzdorf @warriorfromwithin Child Pose
This is another pose that improves the blood flow to the head. Make sure that both the neck and the head are not tense but in a comfy state. Start practicing deep breaths to properly enjoy the benefits.
