I&#8217;ve written about it here before, but I suffer from frequent migraines and am pretty sensitive to the triggers, some of which I can control through diet, others I can&#8217;t avoid because they have more to do with weather. The things I <em>should <\/em>avoid are strong aged cheeses, red wine (and if I&#8217;m honest, <em>any<\/em> alcohol), foods with nitrates (like cured meats), and many pickled or preserved foods&#8230; you know, just all the good things in life!\u00a0While I do limit my exposure to these things, I don&#8217;t completely cut them out of my life, but it certainly helps to eat mostly fresh foods, including tons of fresh fruit and veggies. Bonus: these things also help my skin look its best.<\/p>\n<p>Above, my current favorite salad: red grapefruit slices, plenty of thinly sliced fennel, and just a drizzle of dressing (I use Winslow&#8217;s Home&#8217;s dressing, which is so good because it is emulsified and thus keeps its creamy consistency without tasting mayonnaise-y, and without the oil and vinegar separating in the fridge), but you can use any light dressing.<\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the sunshine and warm weather we&#8217;ve been having, I&#8217;ve been craving all the fresh, bright, light foods of spring.
