IF You Have Migraine Headaches, Do This First
- Stop eating gluten.
- Rule out additional food triggers for the headache – Common triggers are chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, cheese and other dairy products, wine, processed lunch meats and artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet (aspartame). You can find this information out by having your doctor run a delayed hypersensitivity food allergy test. (More on this here <<<)
- Get tested for vitamin and mineral deficiencies – Vitamin B2, B-12, magnesium, and CoQ10 are a few nutrients that when deficient can trigger migraine headaches.
- Avoid the use of perfumes and scented soaps – many of the chemicals in these items can trigger migraines directly.
- Visit a chiropractor – Many headaches begin with structural problems in the spine as well as muscular dysfunction. A reputable chiropractor should be able to help you determine these types of problems.
