Certain foods and drinks are more often headache triggers than others.
People get headaches for many different reasons. Sometimes, they may be triggered by what we eat or drink. Going too long without eating also may trigger headaches.
“Certain foods are notorious for causing headaches,” says Egilius Spierings, MD, PhD, a neurologist, clinical professor and director of the Headache & Face Pain Programme at Tufts Medical Center. “Examples include dark chocolates, aged cheeses, cured meats and alcohol, as well as certain additives, such as MSG (monosodium glutamate) and nitrites.” Dietary triggers of headaches for one person may not affect someone else. Still, it’s helpful to know more common dietary culprits.
Amines
Compounds called biogenic amines, such as histamine, tyramine and phenylethylamine, may contribute to headaches in some people. Certain foods, such as tomatoes, avocados and spinach, naturally contain higher amounts of histamine and/ or tyramine. Dark chocolate contains phenylethylamine. Amounts of biogenic amines are generally highest in foods in which bacteria breaks down certain amino acids, such as during fermentation or as the food ages, ripens or spoils. Examples are alcoholic beverages, fermented vegetables (like sauerkraut), processed meats (like salami), aged cheeses (like Swiss), soy sauce and some fish, particularly if mishandled.
