How to Keep Headaches Away by Eating Different Foods
Keep your migraines and headaches from coming back by eating the right foods to fight headaches, and don't eat the foods that CAUSE your headaches.
Things You'll Need:
high in magnesium foods
diary or journal
1
Believe it or not, certain foods may trigger headaches. The throbbing pain has ended for some people who took action and changed their diets. It isn't necessarily difficult, it's just about finding which foods you need to avoid, and which ones you want to eat more of.
2
Some foods, especially those with preservatives, may have contained in them triggers that constrict or dilate the blood vessels in the brain and may result in a throbbing headache.
3
In order to figure what foods (or perhaps activities) cause your headaches, keep a diary. Log the time, place, and what you just ate or did right before having the headache. After a time, a pattern may appear and you will be able to avoid the cause of your headache.
Example: every evening you drink a can of Mountain Dew and eat a bowl of ice cream. If your headache occurs around this time, stop eating or drinking one of the two and see which one causes the headache. It might just be the Mountain Dew, so try eating only the ice cream next time.

Some common foods that cause headaches:
