Summary
Two reviews, conducted by researchers from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Ohio, USA, summarize the role of various nutrients and specific diets in preventing migraine attacks and as their potential trigger. Part two of these reviews showed the beneficial effects of micronutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and folate. Diets containing a high omega-3 level showed, for instance, a decreased frequency of migraine attacks. Consuming folate showed a beneficial effect on patients with migraine with aura. These reviews support the use of specific diets containing, among others, various micronutrients to prevent migraine and other headache disorders. More details can be found in the reviews.
