Food Cures for Migraine Headaches

Migraineurs are always looking for ways to prevent the frequency of attacks and reduce headache intensity. One tactic that can be extraordinarily helpful is a migraine prevention diet. Numerous foods can trigger migraines – including alcoholic beverages, caffeine, chocolate, and aged cheeses. However, simply focusing on foods you should limit can feel demoralizing and only approaches the problem from one side.

Here are five dietary elements that many scientists and sufferers believe can prevent migraines

  1. Water – One typical migraine trigger that is easily remedied is dehydration. Don't wait until you get thirsty. Joy Bauer, nutritionist for NBC's The Today Show, advises that women and men respectively consume a minimum of 9 and 13 cups daily. Water is always your strongest defense against dehydration, but you can also use milk, decaffeinated coffee, and herbal tea.
  2. Good fat – Make sure that certain fats are included in your migraine diet. The right types of fats are anti-inflammatory, fighting the inflammation that often accompanies migraines. Studies show that the monounsaturated fats in olive oil make migraines less prevalent and less painful, as do the Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and flaxseeds. Try consuming wild salmon twice a week.
  3. B2 – Vitamin B2, a.k.a. riboflavin, aids in the generation of energy at the cellular level. It's believed that migraineurs may have a congenital issue that makes it more difficult for their bodies to store energy, so riboflavin should be high in a migraine prevention diet. Food sources that contain good quantities of riboflavin include milk, beef, spinach, and broccoli. Make sure you get all the B vitamins because they work in tandem. A strong B-complex vitamin should contain at least 400 mg of riboflavin. Whole-food vitamins are best.
  4. Magnesium – Magnesium is an especially powerful part of a migraine diet for those suffering from menstrual migraines (those triggered by sudden hormonal changes in women). However, it can work to prevent migraines of any sort. To increase your levels of magnesium, try sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, spinach, and whole grains. You can use a supplement to combine calcium and magnesium. The two minerals regulate critical physical processes, including muscle contraction, neural transmission, and heartbeat.

If you want to prevent migraines, your diet is a great place to start. If you want a multifaceted solution to ease your migraine headache pain, you can join the many thousands of patients nationwide benefiting from the MiRx Protocol.
