With the party season about to get into full swing, Christmas can prove to be a minefield for those with Histamine Intolerance (HIT)… 🍷
particularly because alcohol and the classic festive foods such as mince pies and Christmas pudding are high in histamine or act as histamine liberators. 😞
Here are 5 top tips for balancing histamine over the festive period:
Keep well hydrated to flush histamine out of the body.
Enjoy low histamine foods rich in natural antihistamines such as vitamin C and quercetin e.g. apples, blueberries, onions and broccoli.
Avoid eating Christmas dinner leftovers on Boxing Day.
Coffee and tea can both act as a trigger for symptoms so opt for a chamomile or peppermint tea instead.
If you do drink wine, experiment with a wine wand to lower histamine levels.
