6. Watch what you eat.
Ever noticed a link between eating certain foods and the onset of a migraine? Many people find certain foods, such as cured meats, chocolate, anything containing the flavor enhancer MSG, aged cheeses, pickled foods, and some artificial sweeteners, can trigger their migraine symptoms. If you aren’t sure of your trigger foods, start keeping track of the foods you’ve eaten shortly before developing a migraine. Once you’ve identified your triggers, you can choose other foods to eat instead.
