If headaches keep coming back, you have probably been told it is stress, the weather or long days. Those are only the trigger. Underneath, your body is low on water and salt. Here are 7 reasons, and the simple fix.

It is not your brain. Your brain is fine.
Your brain has no pain receptors.
Not one. Surgeons can operate on the brain while the patient is awake, because the brain itself feels nothing. The pain comes from the layers around it: a sheet of tissue over the skull called the galea, the muscles that pull on it, and the thin covering under the skull. That is why you rub your temples.
With BOLDBOLD adds 77.5 mg of magnesium and 200 mg of calcium to your water. Both contribute to normal muscle function.
It is not stress.
Stress changes what you drink. That is what you feel.
On a hard day the water bottle stays full. Coffee takes its place, lunch gets skipped, and you sweat more than you notice. By 4 pm your body is low on water and salt. Stress set it up. Dehydration is the pain.
With BOLDThe Starter Kit puts a steel bottle of about 1 litre on your desk. One sachet makes it taste like real fruit, so it gets finished, even on a hard day.
It is not the heat.
Heat takes water and salt out of you. That is the headache.
In the UAE you lose water all day: through sweat in the sun, and through your skin and breath in the AC, often without feeling thirsty. Every drop of sweat carries salt with it. The heat is the thief. Dehydration is what hurts.
With BOLDEvery BOLD sachet adds 6 electrolytes to your water, sodium and potassium included. The steel bottle keeps it cold for 24 hours.
It is not pressure.
The pressure you feel is muscle, pulling tight.
That band around your head is real. When you lose water and salt, the muscles over your skull tighten at the forehead, the temples and the back of the head. Like a cramp, just on your head instead of your leg.
With BOLDMagnesium and calcium contribute to normal muscle function. One BOLD sachet gives you 25% of your daily magnesium.
It is dehydration itself.
Give the body its water back, and the pain eases.
Think of a sponge. Dry, it shrinks and goes hard. Add water and it opens up again. In one study, people with frequent headaches drank 1.5 litres more water a day. 47 out of 100 said their headaches got much better. In the group without the extra water, it was 25 out of 100.
With BOLDWater you like is water you drink. BOLD tastes like real fruit, with no added sugar, so drinking more is easy.
Water alone is not enough. You need sodium.
Sodium helps your body hold on to the water you drink.
Plain water on its own passes through you faster. Sodium helps your body absorb water and keep it where it is needed. That is why the rehydration drinks doctors use all contain salt. Water and sodium work as a pair.
With BOLDEach BOLD sachet has sodium, potassium and chloride, plus calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. That is 6 electrolytes in your water, not just water.
Magnesium and vitamins finish the job.
Magnesium and calcium contribute to normal muscle function.
Calcium tells a muscle to tighten. Magnesium helps it let go. Vitamin C, B5, B6 and B12 contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. One BOLD sachet adds electrolytes, 77.5 mg of magnesium, 200 mg of calcium and 9 vitamins and minerals to your water. It tastes like juice, so you drink it every day. It only works if it is daily.
With BOLDOne sachet, one bottle, every day. That is the Starter Kit.
Water, sodium and magnesium. Every day.
The BOLD Starter Kit gives you all three in one daily habit.
