When something cold touches the roof of your mouth on a hot day, it triggers a cold headache. The cause is a dilation of blood vessels in the head. The dilation may be caused by a nerve center located above the roof of your mouth -- when this nerve center gets cold, it seems to over-react and tries to heat your brain.

Therefore, the easy way to avoid "brain freeze" is to keep cold things away from the roof of your mouth!

I get brain freezes easily when I drink something very cold or eat ice cream. What I do when I get one is: I take repeated deep breaths in an out about ten or so and this relieves the pain right away. My thinking was that the warm air from the lungs reversed the situation. Try this and let me know if it works for you. iloveorange@earthlink.net

A "brain freeze" is caused by swellings of the blood vessels in the head...
