The migraine relief plan cookbook More than 100 anti-inflammatory recipes for managing headaches and living a healthier life

While there's ample evidence that diet, along with exercise and good sleep habits, can help manage a whole host of ailments, Weaver (The Migraine Relief Plan, 2017) notes that controlling everything from arthritis to migraines through diet is still a fairly radical idea. Here she shares 100-plus dishes she's found to avoid triggering debilitating headaches. Her introduction speaks to the 40 million fellow Americans who suffer from migraines, while explaining her personal journey in determining how to overcome attacks. Much useful information is packed upfront, from the basics (food, sleep, exercise) to the prevailing science, as well as lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a shopping guide, and a monthly calendar to acclimate to the changes she advocates. Then the dishes, freely borrowed and adapted from others: breakfast hash, wild game chili, ratatouille, "faux" guacamole (substituting squash for avocado), sorbet, fudge. Her inclusion of a "budget-friendly" indicator, three "progressive cooking" recipes that adapt well to leftovers, and quotes from members of the medical community help this stand out.
