That's a great list! People underestimate the power food can have over our physical & mental health. If people don't believe me, just look at how people react when they drink, or rather don't drink, coffee! Or when they "need" that sugar fix because their energy & hence moods dipped down.

This is very interesting to know. I was diagnosed with acute migraines in August 2022 when I ended up in A&E due to a headache I had for quite a few days that had not eased at all. I was told that it was more than likely caused by stress as I tend to get them more when I am stressed but it is nice to know that some foods may trigger it so I can keep an eye out for that now and eliminate foods that may trigger it. Thanks!
