What Is Histamine, and Why Should It Matter?
Histamine is an organic chemical produced naturally in your body to aid immune response, digestion and brain functions; but excess histamine or inability to break it down could result in symptoms including:
- Skin Rashes or Hives
- Anxiety/Brain Fog
- Headaches/Migraines Fatigue or Dizziness Digestive distress
- Many individuals consume foods high in histamine daily that worsen their symptoms; to combat this a low histamine diet is necessary.
What Foods Are Low in Histamine?
Focusing on fresh, minimally processed food will ensure optimal levels of histamine aren’t being increased through fermentation or being left out too long, freshness being key here as histamine levels tend to spike with these older items; an example of low histamine foods are:
- Always cook meats fresh (eschewing any leftovers).
- White Rice and Quinoa: An Apple Pear Blueberry Spin
- Fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro offer powerful benefits when added to dishes or smoothies.
- Coconut and olive oils should also be consumed sparingly as these contain ingredients known to release histamine, such as tomatoes, avocados, vinegar, alcohol, spinach or aged cheeses which could trigger histamine response.
