Migraines: Could A Simple Change In Diet Be Your Solution?

Migraines

Most of you know how I feel about dairy I’m not a big fan
of it because of added hormones and antibiotics, I think
purchasing organic is important to reduce exposure
and nevertheless you will still find me grabbing a slice of pizza
or enjoying an ice cream cone on occasion

It’s important to keep things in perspective, and make sure
you continue to enjoy life

Reducing Dairy

If a client chooses, I will guide them down the road to
reducing dairy products, especially if weight loss is a goal
because cheese contains a lot of calories for a very small
portion

One of my recent clients was up to the challenge

Our goal was weight loss and better health One of her
concerns was that she had terrible migraines for much of
her life While we were working on lowering her cholesterol,
reducing pain in her joints, and losing weightsomething
else happened

Something Was Suspicious

She stopped having migraines Hmmm I thought that
was so cool since these used to put her out of commission,
lying in a dark room for an entire day

Then one day we had a session, and she had experienced
another one What triggered it? We went through her diet,
and she had not had any dairy products for a long time She
then remembered that the day before her migraine she had
sprinkled cheese on her salad We got suspicious

Cheese Was The Culprit

So, she eliminated cheese again, and the headaches didn’t
come back I did some research and discovered there is an
allergen called Tyramine that is found in foods like cheese
and red wine The national headache foundation even did a
write up on it

Ya never know what will happen when you start taking care
of yourself! Yay! I would say this case was a definite success
