Sometimes we endure chronic headaches. We often think that it happens due to stress or other genetic propositions. However, sometimes the reason of our headache might be hiding within our diet. Explaining this, Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee wrote, “Many people endure headaches consistently, never expecting that the trigger could be something in their diet. Of course, if you have frequent headaches, a lot of it could depend upon your genetic predisposition. The more genetically prone you are, the more likely certain foods act to precipitate the headaches.” She further noted down a list of food items that can cause headache.(Unsplash)
