Histamine in Foods (list) | THE LOW HISTAMINE CHEF This week I had the pleasure of meeting Barcelona-based nutritionist Adriana Duelo.

The Food List | Histamine Intolerance Managing your diet The dynamism of the world of food means that there are constantly ongoing research projects which affect the way foods are perceived, received and accepted. We at HIT Awareness campaign plan to keep you updated with such modifications as they relate to food intolerances – in particular HIT. By way of a reminder, the food list – or even any other food lists you will come across via different resources such as the internet – are ONLY to be viewed as a form of guidance, and not as authorities in themselves. This is because many HIT sufferers have to cope with multiple intolerances, such that commencing an elimination diet without a diagnosis by a doctor and consultation with a dietician is not advisable. If you abide by this guidance, you should be able to notice a positive change after about 4 weeks of the elimination diet. If you have ticked all the boxes up to this point, then we suppose it is safe to wish you the best towards a better quality of life. Debatable: Other

There are approximately 7,000 types of rare disorders documented in Canada.2 This translates to nearly 3 million Canadians diagnosed with a rare disorder, one of which is Mastocytosis.

Happiness report: Finland is world's 'happiest country' - UN Image copyright Reuters This year's happiest place on Earth is Finland, according to an annual UN report - toppling Norway from the top spot. The World Happiness Report measures "subjective well-being" - how happy people feel they are, and why. Nordic countries regularly appear in the top five, while war-hit countries and a number in sub-Saharan Africa regularly appear in the bottom five. Burundi was the least happy, taking over from the Central African Republic. It was thrown into crisis when President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for re-election to a third term in 2015 sparked protests by opposition supporters who said the move was unconstitutional. This year's report by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network also features data about the happiness of immigrants in their host countries, with Finland also coming top as home to the happiest immigrants. Some 156 countries are ranked by their happiness levels, and 117 by the happiness of their immigrants.

Tips for Keeping a Gratitude Journal Psychology researchers aren’t necessarily Thanksgiving experts—they may not know how to make fluffy stuffing, say, or beat the traffic to your in-laws’ house—but they have become a fount of wisdom on thanksgiving (with a small “t”). Over the past decade, they’ve not only identified the great social, psychological, and physical health benefits that come from giving thanks; they’ve zeroed in on some concrete practices that help us reap those benefits. And perhaps the most popular practice is to keep a “gratitude journal.” The basic practice is straightforward. esolla But when you dig into the research, you find that gratitude journals don’t always work—some studies show incredible benefits, others not so much. To understand why, I took a closer look at the research and consulted with Robert Emmons, arguably the world’s leading expert on the science of gratitude and an author of some of the seminal studies of gratitude journals.
