Migraines can often be triggered by high levels of tyramine, which is produced when the amino acid tyrosine breaks down. Tyramine increases when foods ferment, age or are stored for a time. Examples of tyramine containing foods include aged cheese, cured meats like liverwurst and salami, sauerkraut, fermented soy products like miso and soy sauce, beer, yeast and fava beans.

The Paleo diet would be a good diet to follow as it helps you to avoid most of the foods that would trigger migraines.  Following this diet also helps with the inflamation factor.

Last week I mentioned salads in a jar.  The salads are stacked in a mason jar with the dressing in the bottom of the jar.  Layer a hardy vegetable on top of the dressing, and then other veggies and meat.  Seal the jar and refrigerate till needed.  When you are ready to serve this, shake it up, and pour it out.

Some hardy veggies include celery, fennel carrots, Jicama, kohlrabi, and bean sprouts.
