For migraine sufferers, this new research may be monumental. According to researchers, the study has inspired some scientists to imagine the possibility of developing “a magical probiotic mouthwash” that would balance the gut bacteria and thus prevent migraines. But in the meantime, victims of migraine can take measures to cut down their nitrate consumption.
An article on the website for celebrity fitness guru Jillian Michaels identifies processed meats like hot dogs, bacon, ham, and sausage, as well as root vegetables like potatoes and carrots, as well as spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower as among the foods with the highest concentration of nitrates.
If you suffer from migraines, reduce your consumption of nitrates for 1 month and report back. SHARE this article on social media with a comment about how cutting back on nitrates affected you and your migraines.
