London:  Drinking water regularly can reduce the severity of headaches and migraines, a new study has claimed.

Lead researcher Dr Mark Spigt and his team recruited more than 100 patients who frequently suffered from severe or mild headaches, the ‘Daily Mail’ reported.

The team instructed them on how to ease their discomfort , including reducing stress, improving sleep and avoiding caffeine. Half the patients were also told to drink 1.5 litres of water a day for three months, on top of their normal liquid intake.

The results showed that participants drinking extra water showed significant relief from headache.
