The pathogenesis of migraine is complex, and genetic, dietary, endocrine, and psychological factors are related to the development of migraine. Among them, dietary factors are something we can actively intervene to prevent and relieve migraine attacks. So what foods should migraine patients pay attention to avoid in their daily life? 1.Foods rich in tyrosine. We can simply remember 3C foods, namely cheese, chocolate and citrus foods are rich in tyrosine, others are also rich in tyrosine such as marinated sardines, chicken liver, tomatoes, milk and lactic acid drinks, and tyrosine is the trigger of migraine. 2. Processed meat products. Cured meats, bacon, sausages, hot dogs, salami, ham and other cured and smoked meats, processed meats, etc. can also trigger migraines due to the presence of nitrite. 3, aspartame sugar substitute food. Studies have confirmed that aspartame intake can increase the frequency and duration of migraine sufferers’ illnesses. Low-sugar colas, low-sugar sodas, chewing gum and ice cream may contain aspartame, so avoid them. 4. Coffee and caffeinated foods. Migraine sufferers should avoid coffee and caffeinated drinks and foods because caffeine can stimulate the nervous system and trigger migraine headaches. 5. Alcohol (especially red wine). All alcoholic beverages can trigger headaches. Wine and beer, in addition to having alcohol, also contain the tyrosine mentioned earlier, as well as histamine and nitrite, all of which can trigger headaches. In particular, red wine also exists another substance that may cause headaches – tannin, also known as tannic acid, especially need to avoid drinking. 6, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence. Monosodium glutamate, the main component of MSG, chicken, is the “killer” that causes headaches. In addition to the kitchen bags of MSG, chicken, you have to be careful in a variety of food monosodium glutamate: such as bags of soup, frozen food, salad dressing, processed cooked food, a variety of small snacks, etc.. Because everyone reacts differently to food, there are many other foods that can also trigger migraines, such as: tea, peas, mushrooms, milk, beef, eggs, etc. It is not easy to identify the foods that cause headaches. To solve this problem, try keeping an eating diary, writing down the names of the foods you consume each day in chronological order, so that if a headache strikes, you can pinpoint the “suspects” from the previous 24 hours. Repeat this several times to find the real “culprit”. Then you can reduce or avoid these foods in your diet to prevent and relieve migraines in the future.
