Eat wisely

Your eating habits can influence your migraines. Consider the basics:

• Be consistent. Eat at about the same time every day.
• Don't skip meals. Fasting increases the risk of migraines.
• Keep a food journal. Keeping track of the foods you eat and when you have migraines can help you find potential food triggers.
• Avoid foods that trigger migraines. If you suspect that a certain food is triggering migraines, remove it from your diet to see what happens. These foods may include aged cheese, chocolate, caffeine and alcohol.
