A simple hack has been circulating on social media that claims to alleviate migraines by combining two McDonald’s menu items. The “McMigraine meal” consists of a Coca-Cola and French fries, with some experts attributing its effectiveness to the caffeine in the soda and the salt and carbs in the fries.
Dr. David Walker, a headache and facial pain specialist at Rush University Medical Center, notes that the caffeine can help short-term migraine relief. The electrolytes from the salty fries may also aid in rebalancing the body’s levels during a migraine, while the carbohydrates in the fries could ease symptoms for those who haven’t eaten.
However, Walker warns that this hack may not work for everyone and cautions against generalizing its benefits, as fried foods can trigger migraines in some individuals. While it has helped certain people, the combination of ingredients in the McMigraine meal is unlikely to be beneficial for all migraine sufferers.
