Brain freeze is the pits – unless you have a migraine. How it could actually help...


Most of us hate the sensation of brain freeze while eating or drinking frozen treats too fast.

A University of Hawaii study found that brain chilling with ice water or a frozen treat significantly reduced pain by interrupting the headache in participants.
