Migraine is a type of headache that often begins at a age of adolescence and pursues a patient throughout life. Migraine is expressed as a strong, usually one-sided headache's periodic attacks. One of the features of migraine is that some foods can cause attacks. Neurologist and SM-Clinic first class doctor Igor Maltev told Gazeta.ru what products they are.
According to a neurobon, the drinks containing caffeine (tea, coffee, cola) have shown that the refusal of caffeine in children and teenagers helps to get rid of headaches, and in adults. This influence is better than medications.
"The next group of foods is the old cheeses (Cheddar, Brie, Parmesan, Feta). The reason is Tiramin, which arises during the maturation of cheese. "The longer the cheese gets the cheese, the higher the content of Tiramine," Maltev continued.
Migraine's attacks can also cause alcohol, especially red wine, beer, whiskey and champagne. According to the specialist, about 25% of people suffering from migraines say that after using these drinks, their condition is deteriorating. And the chocolate containing caffeine and beta-phenyleletilam, which expands the blood vessels of the brain, causes headaches to about 22% of migraines.
"It simply came to our notice then. artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame that is often used in recycled foods); Products containing sodium glass (they are migraines to 10-15% of those suffering from this disease); Processed meat (ham, sausages and cold pieces contain nitrogen oxide, which expands blood vessels and can cause migraines to attack); "Pickled and fermented foods (olives, sour cabbage, Kombucha, which contain Tiram)," the neurologist added.
In addition, according to him, a migraine's attack can occur from the use of frozen and cold products, such as ice cream, cold smoothies, ice milk. Especially after physical activity.
Salt foods can also be a stimulus as they increase blood pressure and can cause a headache.
"In order to reveal your provoking factors, it is recommended to eliminate one food for two months, then re-introduce it to your diet. If within 24 hours of use (in the absence of other reasons), the headache is likely to be the guilty of that. "The specialist advised.
