WHAT CAUSES MIGRAINES
There are
many unavoidable factors that can cause migraines, for example, menstrual
cycles, weather changes, and stress. There are things that we eat or drink
that can contribute to migraine. We can prevent migraines by avoiding these
items.
Migraines can be caused by what we eat, drink, or
medicine we take. Migraine can be stimulated by caffeine, chocolate, old
cheeses, ready-to-eat meats, monosodium glutamate, alcohol, citrus fruits and
juices, bananas, yogurt, onions and other things. Among medications,
medicines to kill pain and birth control pills are some of the causes.
