Just Another Headache?

Citric fruits are rich in histamine and tyramine (catecholamine secreting agents) which are considered to be the main triggers for migraine. Chinese foods are also possible migraine triggers because of the high content of Monosodium Glutamate in them. Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel, on the other hand, are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are not only migraine pacifiers, but are good for your overall health. Recurring migraines can be a result of your diet. Certain food items such as aged cheese, processed meat, caffeine and alcohol may trigger migraine. It is advisable to closely observe your body's reaction to various foods and beverages and eliminate the ones which have adverse effects.
