8 Healthy Plant-Based Foods if You Suffer From Migraine
2. Quinoa
As an alternative to refined carbs that aren’t great for health and can be a trigger for migraines, quinoa is definitely one of our favorites. This versatile healthy source of carbohydrates is rich in riboflavin, a B-vitamin that plays an important role in metabolizing fats and protein and in so doing helps prevent migraines. As a bonus, quinoa is also full of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, folate, and copper and contains a good amount of protein (8 grams per cup) which nourishes your brain cells to help you think clearly and focus.
