Smoking, Drinking and Headache Problems

There are a number of different vices that are very common among humans, smoking and overdrinking being two of them.  The unfortunate thing is, these two things, although there are considered enjoyable by those that do them are some of the worst things that you can possibly do for your health.  Although either of them might be okay whenever they were done in moderation, they tend to be done to excess and that is where the problems really occur.  One of the issues that you may be experiencing by smoking and drinking too much is headaches, and that makes either of these pastimes not worth the effort.

Smoking is probably behind more headaches than almost any other vice that we have as individuals.  It constricts the blood vessels and cuts off the flow of oxygen to the extremities of the body to a certain extent.  It is also constantly putting chemicals into our body that certainly can damage it in a number of different ways.  To put it plainly, smoking is not good for you and this is a fact that many of us can attest to, even those of those that smoke regularly.  Fortunately, many of the headaches that you receive as a result of smoking can be stopped, simply by giving up the habit.  That is easier said than done, as most of us can attest to as well.

Drinking too much can not only cause headaches as a result of a hangover, it can also cause headaches in us as a result of the poisoning effect that it has on the body.  A little bit of alcohol is not going to hurt you and as a matter of fact, it may have benefits for the human body, such as increased circulation and a gentle cleansing.  Over drinking, on the other hand, causes a whole host of problems in the human body which includes headaches.

If you enjoy drinking, simply moderating the amount that you drink on a regular basis might be enough to stop the headaches that are occurring.  If you are having headaches as a result of a buildup of toxins in the body from drinking, it might be necessary for you to abstain completely from alcohol for a little while until your body has the opportunity to cleanse itself completely.  These are just two things that might be causing your headaches, but they are two things that are avoidable.
