Benefits of olive oil to help reduce migraine symptoms

Olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties and contains antioxidants, which help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks.

What is migraine?

Migraine is a complex neurological condition that often involves severe headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light, and other debilitating symptoms. While the exact cause of migraines is unknown, lifestyle and diet are known to play an important role in controlling symptoms.

Olive oil

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, primarily oleic acid, which makes up about 73% of the total oil content. Oleic acid is known to reduce inflammation, a major factor in migraines. Additionally, olive oil contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress in the body, another factor linked to migraines.

A study published in Nutrients found that consuming more monounsaturated fats found in olive oil may help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

Anti-Inflammatory Benefits of Olive Oil

Olive oil contains compounds such as oleocanthal, which have similar effects to ibuprofen, a common anti-inflammatory drug. When used regularly, olive oil's natural anti-inflammatory compounds can reduce overall inflammation in the brain's blood vessels, potentially reducing the frequency of migraines.

According to a study in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who regularly consumed extra virgin olive oil had fewer inflammatory markers in their blood than those who consumed other types of fats, such as butter or vegetable oils. Reducing these inflammatory markers may help prevent migraines from occurring or reduce their intensity when they do occur.

Olive oil is a stable source of healthy fats.

The brain needs fat to function optimally, and the monounsaturated fat content of olive oil provides a source of energy and efficiency for brain cells. This is especially beneficial for migraine sufferers, as unstable blood sugar and energy levels can exacerbate migraine symptoms.

Also according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a diet high in healthy fats, especially omega-3s and monounsaturated fats, was associated with a significant reduction in the number of days and severity of migraines.
