Drink Coke to Remedy a Headache

When Coca-Cola was first invented, it was sold in pharmacies in Atlanta as headache medicine. Caffeine helps reduce inflammation and encourages other treatments, including painkillers, to work faster. But, of course, with the amount of sugar in Coke, it's not ideal for all health conditions and should be consumed in moderation. The ideal solution for drinking Coke to relieve headaches is to opt for a version with little or no sugar.

For instance, diet Coke or Coke Zero. Also, note that although caffeine can reduce headaches, it might trigger migraines for those that consume too much of it. So, again, we stress that for the best results, it's essential to use this hack in moderation.
