Plant-Based Diet for Treating Migraines

Migraines affect 10% of the global population and are often triggered by factors like stress, hunger, and certain foods. Research suggests that a strictly plant-based diet can reduce the severity of migraines due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Participants who followed a plant-based diet experienced a significant drop in pain severity and frequency, potentially due to weight reduction and lower fat content. Lowering fat intake, especially saturated fat, may help control migraine attacks. Additionally, compounds in green vegetables and magnesium found in produce and whole grains show promise in reducing migraine severity and frequency.
