13. Elimination Diet
If you suffer from migraines or you find yourself getting headaches regularly, you might be eating certain foods or drinks that trigger them. One way to figure out what might be causing your migraines is to do an elimination diet. This method would take time and does not guarantee that you would be able to pinpoint the culprit, but if you do manage to find it, it could go a long way in preventing future headaches.
To do an elimination diet, you have to first figure out what foods and drinks in your diet are typical migraine triggers. You would then cut these out from your meals and snacks, then gradually add them back one by one. If your headache returns after reintroducing one of these, you may be able to identify which food or drink has been triggering your migraine. Some examples of foods that commonly cause migraines are chocolate, nuts, alcohol, cheese, and dairy products.
