Ketogenic diet may stop migraines by changing the brain’s fuel

Cutting carbs has been shown to prevent migraines, perhaps by changing the type of fuel that enters the brain.

The ketogenic diet is a very low-carb diet that makes the body burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Aside from aiding weight loss, it also seems to ease neurological conditions like epilepsy and schizophrenia in some people.
