Mediterranean Diet & Ketogenic Plans: Migraine Relief Unveiled

Research Summary

Researchers found that dietary strategies can play a significant role in managing migraines. In a narrative review published in Nutrients, higher adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet correlated with reduced migraine frequency and disability. A very low-calorie ketogenic diet showed a 74% responder rate in reducing monthly migraine attacks, vastly outperforming non-ketogenic diets. Omega-3 fatty acids demonstrated prophylactic benefits with good tolerability, while gluten-free diets may benefit those with celiac disease and some non-celiac patients. Alcohol and irregular caffeine intake are common triggers. The study suggests Mediterranean eating, omega-3 supplementation, and specific dietary trials alongside lifestyle changes for migraine management.
