This review explores the relationship between diet and migraines, discussing both dietary triggers (e.g., alcohol, chocolate, MSG) and protective dietary strategies (e.g., ketogenic, Mediterranean, omega-3-rich diets). Evidence shows some migraine sufferers benefit from low-carbohydrate, anti-inflammatory, or high-water diets, while triggering foods vary widely by individual and migraine subtype. The review also highlights the gut–brain axis, CGRP pathway, and potential for personalized nutrition approaches to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
