According to the study, dopamine is necessary to help alleviate headaches. By rewarding yourself with fries and a drink, your brain triggers the release of dopamine, which in turn makes you happier. The large Coca-Cola has more milligrams of caffeine than many painkillers, and it will taste better as well. The caffeine in the drink can help relieve headache pain by interacting with the brain's adenosine receptors. When it comes to the fries, they are covered in salt, and the salt is going to help hydrate your brain and work as a supply of electrolytes needed to help lessen the pain in your head. While it might be unorthodox, perhaps a large French fry and Coca-Cola from McDonald's might be what you need to help avoid or cure headaches.
