Migraine headaches are one of the most common illnesses in the world, affecting around a billion people. The cause of migraines is unknown, but a possible, if not likely, suspect is food, and, according to the American migraine foundation, maintaining a healthy diet and learning how to understand food triggers can help keep migraines at bay. Another possible suspect is coffee and, while a little bit of caffeine can help relieve migraine headaches, drinking three or more cups of joe a day can increase migraine attacks. This phenomenon (migraine treatments actually being a cause of migraines) is also true about caffeine and pain relievers, as well as prescription migraine medications. Even too frequent use of plain old Tylenol can induce migraine symptoms. To treat a migraine without meds, try applying an ice pack to your forehead or scour the cold from the ice will constrict the flow blood and reduce the throbbing sensation, providing at least temporary relief from migraine pain. Nutritional supplements can help prevent migraine headaches, especially magnesium, the B vitamins and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
