Migraine
If you suffer from migraines, consider this:whether your diet includes fatty fish, namely: sardines, mackerel, herring, cod, trout (sea) or capelin. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in large quantities in such fish. Omega-3 can reduce the production of prostaglandins, substances that cause inflammation, and as a result, pain. How much fish should you include in your diet? 110-170 grams two or three times a week will be enough, but you can, of course, have more. There are foods that should be avoided. Studies have shown that 20% of migraine sufferers are sensitive to one or more of the following foods: sausages, smoked meats, hot dogs and frankfurters, artificial sweeteners, monosodium glutamate, red wine, chocolate, hard cheeses and citrus fruits.
Useful food
Menstrual pain
The production of prostaglandins is significantfactor in the occurrence of menstrual pain. Research shows that flax seeds or flaxseed oil prevent the production of these substances, because, like fish, flax seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids. Try consuming 1-2 teaspoons of ground seeds or 1 teaspoon of cold-pressed oil daily in salads or porridge. Reduce the consumption of red meat and dairy products, especially during the period approaching menstruation, since the arachidonic acids contained in them increase the production of prostaglandins.
Irritability
Chocolate (dark) contains a large amountamino acid L-tryptophan, which increases the production of serotonin, a substance responsible for our mood. Low levels of serotonin in the body cause irritability and other manifestations of a bad mood, and also leads to the development of depression. A very small amount of chocolate is enough to keep your mood normal. Eliminate alcohol. It is a depressant, it can give a temporary feeling of relaxation and improved mood, but when its effect wears off, the condition worsens.
