Migraine can have many causes, but in most cases the magnesium level in the blood of migraine sufferers is far lower than normal, as was found out by researchers at the Medical University in Tabriz/Iran. The magnesium deficiency triggers a constriction of blood vessels in the brain. This constriction increases the sensibility of nerve cells to chemical messengers such as serotonin, thus triggering the migraine attacks.
Foods such as whole grains, green leafy vegetables, legumes and pulses as well as fish are good sources for magnesium.
The recommended daily intake for an adult is around 400 mg.
