Aged Cheese

A slice of cheese here or there can actually be quite healthy for you! It's enriched with vitamin A, calcium, and protein, but when enjoyed in larger quantities, it can rank high in calories, fat, as well as be a potential migraine trigger.

Both Dr. Thornley and Dr. Armand told POPSUGAR that the number one trigger suspect for migraines here is tyramine, an ingredient found heavily in aged cheese. "The longer a cheese is aged, the higher amounts of tyramine it contains," said Dr. Armand. Examples include gouda, feta, and gruyere.
