If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from migraines, you know how debilitating they can be. One minute you're enjoying your day and the next you're lying in a dark room trying not to throw up. For some people, migraines are a occasional nuisance. But for others, they're a weekly occurrence. If you fall into the latter category, you might be wondering what's causing your migraines.
There are many potential triggers, but in this blog post, we're going to focus on preservatives. Many of the foods we eat contain preservatives, and for some people, these preservatives can trigger migraines. So without further ado, here are the top five preservatives that trigger migraines (according to a biblical natural health consultant).
MSG (monosodium glutamate)
MSG is a common food additive that's used to enhance flavor. It's found in everything from Chinese food to processed meats to salad dressings. While MSG is generally considered safe, some people are sensitive to it and it can trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. If you suspect that MSG might be triggering your migraines, try avoiding foods that contain it and see if your migraine frequency decreases.
Aspartame
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that's found in diet sodas, sugar-free gum and candy, and other low-calorie foods. Like MSG, aspartame is generally considered safe. However, some people are sensitive to it and it can trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. If you think aspartame might be triggering your migraines, try avoiding foods that contain it and see if your migraine frequency decreases.
Nitrites/nitrates
Nitrites and nitrates are food additives that are used to preserve processed meats like bacon, ham, and hot dogs. They're also found in some green vegetables like celery and spinach. Nitrites and nitrates can trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. If you think they might be triggering your migraines, try avoiding processed meats and foods that contain them and see if your migraine frequency decreases.
Artificial colors
Artificial colors are added to food to make them more visually appealing. Unfortunately, they can also trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. If you think artificial colors might be triggering your migraines, try avoiding foods that contain them and see if your migraine frequency decreases.
Sulfites
Sulfites are food additives that are used to preserve dried fruits, wine, and beer. They can also trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. If you think sulfites might be triggering your migraines, try avoiding foods that contain them and see if your migraine frequency decreases.
There you have it! The top five preservatives that trigger migraines (according to a biblical natural health consultant). If you suffer from migraines, hopefully this information will help you identify potential triggers so you can avoid them in the future.
