Hot Dogs

You've probably already heard the news that hotdogs are pretty unhealthy and detrimental for your health—maybe just as bad as cigarettes! So, it should come as no surprise that a link stuffed with saturated fat, cholesterol, and salt can also cause migraines.

"Hot dogs contain nitrites, which are preservatives that work to prevent bacteria growth which research has described to trigger migraine attacks," Dr. Armand said. "Furthermore, there are a lot of other foods like cold cuts and processed meats that can bring on a migraine because of their nitrite properties."
