The science behind intermittent fasting is actually fascinating. Researchers from Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University discovered that the combination of intermittent fasting with a ketogenic diet can have all sorts of benefits for the human body, including fighting migraines, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and even some forms of cancer.

If you’re a migraineur and have decided to start making lifestyle changes to prevent your migraines without medicines, your brain’s recovery will take time. Carefully monitoring your diet and maintaining proper cell hydration, or Electrolyte Homeostasis, takes attention, time, and self-control. You’ll be doing your best and you likely won’t see full results right away.

Even though there isn’t one simple solution to prevent migraines, there is a balance that, when achieved in your diet, can lessen or prevent your migraine.

It can be shocking to learn that you can drink water all day and still be dehydrated. But, water itself does not hydrate your cells. For water to be absorbed and used properly in the body, it needs electrolytes too. 

Sugar and caffeine are diuretics, meaning they dehydrate your body. The biochemical balance of your cells get disrupted and you no longer have Electrolyte Homeostasis (proper cell hydration).

Increasing fat and reducing cabs and protein significantly puts your metabolic state into ketosis—fat burning instead of glucose burning. Ketosis or ketones are naturally produced molecules created by the liver. Using ketones for fuel instead of glucose, your body is burning your fat as energy.
