5. Cucumber
Made up of about 96 percent water and packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and manganese, cucumber is a great light snack if you suffer from migraines or headaches. As you know, hydration is key for optimal health and it is especially important for migraine sufferers as increasing water-intake has been shown to reduce the duration and intensity of migraines. Thus, keeping your fluids up by drinking a lot of water and snacking on water-rich foods such as cucumber is a great way to alleviate your migraine-related symptoms.
For an interesting twist, you can include cucumbers in recipes such as this Spicy Cucumber Salad With Pan-Fried Tofu, this Raw Cucumber Kimchi, these Cucumber Noodles With Spicy Tahini Sauce, and these Black Bean Hummus Stuffed Cucumber Rolls.
