17. Reducing Histamine Intake
Histamine is a compound that is responsible for certain physiological functions and immune responses in our body. When you have excessively high levels of this, or if it cannot be broken down properly, you may have histamine intolerance. One of the symptoms of histamine intolerance is headaches or migraine. To prevent headaches due to this, you should be careful about your histamine intake.
Avoid or lessen foods that are rich in this chemical. Some of these include alcohol, fermented beverages, fermented foods, dairy products, processed meats, smoked meats, shellfish, spinach, eggplant, avocados, and dried fruits. You may also add low-histamine foods to your diet, such as fresh meat, fresh fish, eggs, non-citrus fruits, gluten-free grains, dairy substitutes, cooking oils, and fresh vegetables except the ones previously mentioned.
