Do you or someone you know suffer from migraine headaches? If you do, you might have sought the help of neurologists, naturopaths, and even general practitioners in attempts to find a prescription or procedure that would alleviate the constant and unbearable pain. Sometimes something as simple as a change in your diet can alleviate your migraine headache.

For certain people, think about the occurrence of migraines in the same way that you would someone who starts sniffling and sneezing on a beautiful summer day. Your first thought wouldn't be that they have a cold, rather you might associate their sniffling and sneezing with allergies.

According to one study, some people may have a lower tolerance to things found in everyday foods and beverages like aspartame, nitrates, glutamate, and more. This may not be the case for everyone who suffers from migraine headaches, but a food journal will help you to determine the cause of your migraines.

Upper cervical care can help restore the ability of the body's immune system to function properly, so as to eliminate food triggered migraine headaches. Upper cervical care also improves blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow to from and through your brain which can frequently address the underlying cause of migraines that is making you susceptible to these triggers.
