- Do not skip meals, in general prolonged periods of fasting trigger a migraine attack;
- Wake up and sleep at similar times, especially on holidays, if you do not want to have a headache. It is very common for migraine sufferers to have crises during holidays or at the end of the week, when they generally sleep and wake up later than usual;
- Make light meals, food should be regulated without food hype, avoiding mainly chocolate, milk, yogurt and cheese or other derivatives, as well as citrus foods;
- Maintain a regular physical activity rhythm, 2 or 3 times a week, and mild or moderate intensity. The exercises prevent the onset of migraine, but if it did appear, some activity such as walking can relieve the intensity of the pain;
- Avoid temperature changes, such as saunas. High altitudes should also be avoided.
