To date, there is no specific treatment for migraine that can make migraine never come back! However, it has been proven that the most effective treatment for patients is preventive treatment during the interval of migraine, in addition to psychological adjustment and dietary regimen.
1.Less touching 3C food
Cheese, chocolate, citrousfruit, marinated sardines, chicken liver, tomatoes, milk and lactic acid drinks are rich in tyramine. And tyramine is the main cause of vascular spasm, so if you have a history of migraine, then it is best to stay away from these foods.
2. Beware of sausages and hot dogs
Sausages, hot dogs, ham, bacon and other cured and smoked meats, processed meats and other foods containing nitrites, as well as foods containing MSG can cause migraines, so it’s best to eat as little as possible in your daily life.
3.Watch out for sugar substitutes
Studies have found that the sugar substitute “aspartame” (Aspartame) can over-stimulate or interfere with nerve endings, increasing muscle tension, and trigger migraines. Low-sugar colas, low-sugar sodas, sugar-free gum, ice cream, multivitamins and many prescription drugs all contain aspartame. So people who are allergic to sugar substitutes can trigger headaches with just a small sip of low-sugar soda.
In addition, Liu Yanping, a nutritionist at the Union Hospital, suggests that if you want to sweeten your food or drink, it’s best to use honey instead of sugar and sugar substitutes.
4, careful use of painkillers, cold syrup
Painkillers can be a tempting trap. Many people take painkillers privately in an attempt to relieve pain, but overdosing on painkillers will not only fail to relieve pain, but will instead cause drug-induced “rebound headaches” and leave you with chronic migraines. If you eat more than 2 or 3 times a week painkillers to relieve pain, please immediately seek medical attention!
5, to some magnesium it!
Magnesium can regulate blood flow, relax muscles. For some people, even if only a little magnesium deficiency, can trigger a headache. The United States National Headache Foundation recommends that the best daily supplement 500 to 750 mg of magnesium.
Tip from The Dainty: Magnesium supplements can have the side effect of diarrhea, so it’s best to take them as prescribed after consulting your doctor. Or on a regular basis to eat more food with high magnesium to supplement, for example: whole grain foods, nuts seeds (such as sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, etc.), cauliflower, tofu, etc.
6, supplement vitamin B2
Studies have found that high doses of oral vitamin B2 can reduce the frequency and duration of migraine attacks, but its dose should not exceed 400 mg a day.
7.Coffee, let you rejoice and let you worry
Caffeine will stimulate the nervous system and disrupt sleep, drink more addictive, and quit coffee when it will trigger migraine headaches. Therefore, it is best to consume less than 100 mg of coffee in a day (about a cup of strong coffee).
8, drink less red wine
All alcoholic beverages can trigger headaches, especially red wine contains more headache-inducing chemicals. If you really want to drink a couple of glasses, it is best to choose vodka, white wine such as colorless wine.
9, learn to reduce stress
If you often due to work stress and migraine, you may often bubble warm bath, or try some muscle relaxation techniques, such as abdominal breathing techniques: slowly inhale, so that the abdomen fully outside the drum, exhale, feel the abdomen gradually flattened.
10. Regular exercise
Doctors point out: for people with migraine, exercises that focus on breathing training and breath regulation (such as yoga and qigong) can help patients stabilize their autonomic nervous system and reduce symptoms such as anxiety and muscle tightness.
