What to eat when suffering from migraine

There are foods that trigger migraines

When someone is prone to migraine headaches they have to be careful with their food choices.
It is well known that spicy foods cause migraines and that is the reason behind so many migraine sufferers in the far east countries and in other countries where an abundance of spices are used in cooking.

So, what should we do about cooking and food.

Migraines can be caused by hunger too. It's important that we eat smaller meals several times a day, rather than just the usual three (breakfast, lunch, dinner), try to eat small portions 5-6 times a day so there is always food in the stomach.

Avoid spices if you can. The best is to select the ones you like from the ones that just supplementary spice. Meaning if you like the taste of cummin than leave the curry out.

Onion is a major migraine causing food, especially if it's not sauteed well. So try to leave the onion if you can. Supplement it with leeks or with other onion tasting vegetables.

The stomach is the gate to our health. When you read about diet it does not neccessarily mean that you need to go on the diet, but it might mean that you need to change the food you eat. With migraines this is neccessary if you want them to stop.

Eat food and vegetables that rich in Vitamin Bs. Not just B3 or B6 or whatever, but all of the B family.

Liver

Legumes - Foods such as beans, lentils, and peanuts are known as legumes

Vitamin content varies between different brands, cooking method, food quality etc. so pay attention to the amount of vitamin content when considering your options in the store. The RDA, Recommended Daily Allowance, of the vitamin B complex is:
Vitamin B1(aka Thiamin) -- 1.5 mg
Vitamin B2 (aka Riboflavin) -- 1.8 mg
Vitamin B3 (aka Niacin) -- 20 mg
Vitamin B5 (aka Pantothenic Acid) -- 4 to 7 mg
Vitamin B6 -- 2 mg
Vitamin B12 -- 2 mcg

Foods that rich in B vitamins can help you with your migraines.

The secret behind stopping migraine headaches is perseverance. Meaning you have to continue doing it for weeks or even months before you'll see the result.

Migraine prevention is an important step of stopping headaches. Many migraine sufferers have experienced total stopping of migraine headaches by following vitamin B rich diet.

Also don't forget to drink plenty of water. Dehydration creates stress and certainly will help in developing migraine headaches.

The best treatment is prevention to stop the cause. There is no cure as of yet but using the above can stop your migraines if stricktly followed.
