In my search for a naturalistic... vegan... solution to these migraines plaguing me, I have decided to eat my way through seven days of healing foods.
So here is Day One... Beans and Legumes

... and a little something extra... it falls within this Beans and Legumes group.

Soy foods like tofu are tops in health benefits, providing cancer-fighting and heart protecting phytochemicals^, daidzein*, and genistein**
(^Phytochemicals are plant compounds found in grains, vegetables, and fruits that protect against cancer and heart disease.
*Daidzein is an isoflavone found in soy. Isoflavones are types of flavonoids found in plants. The main sources for isoflavones are soy products, beans, peas, nuts, grain products, coffee, tea and certain herbs such as red clover.
