So that migraines do not haunt your daily life, it is no longer essential to resort to drug treatment. This hypothesis is based on the results of a multi-year study published on November 18 in the British Medical Journal Case Reports (BMJ Case Reports), where the authors of this medical report describe the case of a 60-year-old man who regularly had suffered from severe migraines for over 12 years, despite taking medication prescribed by his doctor, his blood showed no symptoms of inflammation and showed normal beta-carotene levels. The patient suffered from headaches 18 to 24 days per month, the researchers detail, and was therefore recommended to adopt a special diet, called LIFE (Low Inflammatory Foods Everyday), which included regular consumption of products from plant origin with low inflammatory effect, especially green leafy vegetables, and excluding foods of animal origin, especially dairy products and red meat Two months after the start of this diet, the monthly frequency of his migraines fell to to one day. Three months later, the headaches are completely gone, scientists say, the study finds that the effects of the LIFE diet are long-lasting and that the patient, who still follows this diet, does not suffer from any harm. nighttime sleep so important In addition to an inadequate diet, American researchers at the University of Ohio have cited another factor that can lead to regular migraines: a chronic lack of night sleep, which, combined under daily stress, can cause headaches, dizziness and photophobia. The authors of this study also found that the clinical picture of people with sleep deficit at night matched that of those with a head injury.
