Helpful Options For Treating Migraines

Dietary Changes

TodayShow

Dietary changes can sometimes have an impact on the severity, duration, and frequency at which individuals experience migraines. It's important to note dietary changes alone are rarely enough to manage migraines fully, but they can have an impact. One interesting note is research indicates caffeine can have a beneficial effect on migraines. Many individuals are dependent on too much caffeine to get through their day-to-day lives. But there are a lot of migraine patients who say sodas, coffee, and over-the-counter headache medications with caffeine are all helpful. If individuals do use caffeine to treat headaches, it should be used infrequently to avoid developing a dependence. If individuals use caffeine too often, they may end up having headaches when they don't as part of withdrawal. Other common migraine triggers are alcohol, aged cheese, smoked fish, food preservatives, yeast extract, cured meats, and chocolate. Not all of these cause migraines, but many have found a correlation. Beer and red wine are especially likely to trigger migraine symptoms.
