Migraine headaches often occur during women's menstrual period, so it is best to drink more water than usual when menstruation is approaching and between periods, so as to help the body detoxify and effectively reduce the incidence of migraine headaches.

The following suggestions are attached

1. Avoid 3C foods

Cheese, Chocolate, Citrous fruit, and pickled sardines, chicken liver, tomatoes, milk, lactic acid drinks, etc. are rich in tyramine acid. Tyrosine is the main cause of vasospasm, so if you have a history of migraine, you'd better stay away from these foods.

2. Be careful that sausages, hot dogs

Sausages, hot dogs, ham, bacon and other pickled bacon, processed meat and other foods containing nitrite, as well as foods containing more monosodium glutamate, will cause you a migraine, so you'd better eat as little as possible in your daily life.

3. Beware of sugar substitute foods

Studies have found that Aspartame can excessively stimulate or interfere with nerve endings, increase muscle tension, and cause migraine. Aspartame is found in diet coke, diet soda, sugar-free chewing gum, ice cream, multivitamins and many patent medicines. Therefore, people who are allergic to sugar substitutes will have a headache as long as they take a sip of low-sugar soda.

"Jiao Dian" tip: Pay attention to the food content label on the product packaging. When it is found that it is marked with: Amino acids (amino acids), aspartate acid (Aspartic acid) or Phenylalanine (phenylalanine), it should be avoided as much as possible.

In addition, Dr. Liu Yanping, a nutritionist at Union Medical College Hospital, suggested that honey should be used instead of white sugar and sugar substitutes to increase the sweetness of food or drink.

4. Careful use of painkillers and cold syrup

Painkillers may be an attractive trap. Many people take painkillers privately in an attempt to relieve the pain. However, taking too much painkillers can not relieve the pain, but on the contrary, it will cause a "rebound headache" caused by drugs, which will make you suffer from chronic migraine. If you take painkillers more than 2 or 3 times a week to relieve the pain, please see a doctor immediately!

5. Have some magnesium!

Magnesium can regulate blood flow and relax muscles. For some people, even a little magnesium deficiency can cause headaches. The National Headache Foundation suggests that it is best to supplement 5 ~ 75 mg of magnesium every day.

Jiao Dian suggests that magnesium supplementation will have side effects of diarrhea, so it is best to consult a doctor and take it according to the doctor's advice. Or eat more foods with high magnesium content on weekdays, such as whole grains, nut seeds (such as sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, etc.), cauliflower and tofu.

6. Supplementing vitamin B2

Studies have found that taking high doses of vitamin B2 orally can reduce the frequency and duration of migraine attacks, but the dose should not exceed 4 mg a day.

7. Coffee makes you happy and makes you worry

Caffeine can stimulate the nervous system and interfere with sleep. Drinking too much is addictive, while abstaining from coffee can cause migraine. Therefore, it is best to consume less than 1 mg of coffee in a day (about a cup of espresso).

8. Drink less red wine

All alcoholic beverages can cause headaches, especially red wine contains more chemicals that induce headaches. If you really want to drink two glasses, you'd better choose colorless wine such as vodka and white wine.

9. Learn to decompress

If you often have a migraine due to work pressure, you might as well take a warm bath often, or try some muscle relaxation techniques, such as abdominal breathing techniques: breathe in slowly to make your abdomen bulge fully, and when you exhale, feel your abdomen flatten gradually.

1. Regular exercise

The doctor pointed out: For people with migraine, exercises that focus on breathing training and pranayama (such as yoga and qigong) can help patients stabilize their autonomic nervous system and relieve symptoms such as anxiety and muscle tension.

11. Sleep regularly, and refuse to turn the morning and evening upside down

Maintain a regular work and rest, and go to bed and get up regularly even on holidays, which is particularly important for people with migraine. Because, lack of sleep or too much sleep are easy to cause migraine.

12. Make good use of hot compress and ice pack

When you have a headache, try to put a hot compress bag on your neck and an ice pack on your forehead. Hot and cold stimulation can help you effectively relieve muscle tension and reduce pain.

13. Do shoulder and neck exercises frequently

Experts have found that when some parts of the neck and shoulder muscles are under pressure, they will aggravate migraine and even make people who have never had migraine suffer from chronic migraine. So for office workers, if you need to use the computer for a long time, you should pay attention to the height and sitting posture of the screen and seat, and it is best to rest for 1 minutes every 5 minutes, and often move your neck and shoulders.

14.15. Be careful of your perfume and many detergents

Strong smells, such as cigarettes and cigars, paint, waste gas, detergents and chemical detergents, printing ink, etc., can cause migraine. On weekdays, it is best to open the window often for ventilation, and try to avoid places with strong irritating smell such as gas stations.

16. Be careful with birth control pills

Some women begin to have migraine attacks after taking birth control pills for the first time. Some experts believe that taking birth control pills for women with migraine may even increase the risk of stroke.

17. Put on your sunglasses

The doctor in neurology department reminds everyone that strong sunlight and reflected flash can increase the incidence of migraine by 25%-3%. Therefore, people with migraine had better wear sunglasses when they go out to avoid strong light.

18. Create a quiet environment

Strong light and noisy environment can induce migraine. More than 7% migraine patients are unusually sensitive to noise. When decorating, it is best for workers to strengthen the sound insulation effect of the room, and it is best to choose a slightly thicker style for curtains.

2. Eat fish to prevent headaches

Eating fish at least three times a week and taking some fish oil supplements can effectively reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.
