Meal Shortcuts

low histamine edition

Good morning beautiful people! Happy Sunday! I hope you are curled up with a matcha and a good book, enjoying some beautiful sunshine or snow, and cooking up some good eats today.

I am on day 5 of eating lower-histamine, and it is quite shocking how in this little bit of time I have felt so much better. That daily nausea and dizziness I was dealing with — gone. The brain fog and lethargy post eating — been feeling quite energized and happy post meals. My PMDD cloud is feeling lighter.

I am not one for restricting just because…I gave up that lifestyle long ago. When I was dealing with all my health issues — I treated my body like a lab rat trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Trying everything. Every fad, every diet, I was desperate.

In the thick of it though, it did take some hard months in order to reach my best health again. But most importantly — abundance and consistently nourishing my body (yes through food but MORE than that) was the key. I realized I wanted to be healthy so that I could enjoy my life, not stop enjoying my life so that I could be healthy. So although at first minimizing some of my favorite foods felt wrong, I knew that I had the intention in my mind to do this for my health so I can really enjoy life — not vis versa. Which is why I am here now. Doing a temporary histamine reset. Key word: TEMPORARY. This are not meant to be long term!

If you missed it, I touch more on histamine intolerance and why here —

We are Allergic to Stress

So in these next couple of weeks I will be sharing more histamine-friendly recipes. They can be enjoyed even if you are not low-histamine, or can hopefully inspire some good eats for people who are struggling with low-histamine.

PS: Everyone is different. So it is important to note that what triggers some people may not trigger you! This practice really allows us to listen to our bodies. I am limiting my histamine foods for about 3 weeks while supporting my liver & gut and allowing my body to get rid of excess histamines and restore histamine enzyme function.
