People are more confused than ever about how to eat healthy. And for good reason! There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about food.

Eating “healthy” is not as simple as considering the nutritional value of a particular food. A less-talked about topic among doctors and nutritionists is histamines. The potential symptoms from having too much histamine in the body can make a significant difference in your health.
