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.
Traveling is often a trigger for migraineurs because the temperature and pressure changes disrupt the body’s biochemical balance—what we call Electrolyte Homeostasis. Migraine sufferers’ brains are more sensitive to environmental changes than the brain of a non-migraineur, and react differently to the shifts in temperature and pressure that are common when traveling.
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).
