Does The Migraine Diet Exist?
Does a special diet exist that can alleviate aching migraine headaches? Although the research isn't decisive, some studies advise that particular foods or drinks can be a trigger to a painful headache.
Certain ingredients within processed and packaged products are notorious to be headache triggers. These include nitrates, tyramine, caffeine, histamines, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). These ingredients can enlarge the blood vessels in the brain, which can cause migraines.
Attempt to eliminate all of the subsequent foods and drinks from your diet; next, in stages add them back 1 at a time and see what happens to your headaches. Maintain a log of your headaches and of the products you consume, and at what time.
* Drinks: teas, coffee, sodas that include caffeine, and all alcoholic beverages
* Meats: processed, aged and canned meats such as hot dogs, salami, bologna, and dried meats
* Fruits: figs, avocados, bananas, raisins, red plums, and citrus fruits
* Vegetables: all lentils and dried beans, raw onions (cooked are fine), olives, pickles, sauerkraut, and soy products
* Dairy: aged cheeses such as blue, brie, and parmesan
* Snacks: nuts, chocolate, and seeds
Famine or hunger and a lack of fluids (water) can equally cause migraines as well, so try to eat throughout the day and stay hydrated as well and that should cut down on several migraines a year, or for some even in a month's time. No one should have to suffer from these terrible migraines, so also speak with your doctor on certain medicines that work wonderfully to lessen the frequency of the painful migraines and lessen the pain as well.
