| The Histamine Link Explored (here comes the science bit!). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The role that Histamine plays as an agent is our antibacterial, antiviral, anti-foreign agent defence systems is well known (or at least its nemeses, anti-histamine tablets and creams are). However, it also acts as a sensor regulator of water metabolism and its distribution in the body. When the body is short of water, it increases the production of the neurotransmitter histamine. It is well recognised that people suffering from asthma and other allergic reactions have increased amounts of histamine within their body tissues. At a normal level of water content in the body, these defence systems are maintained at imperceptible or unexaggerated |

| levels. In a dehydrated state, histamine activity vastly increases to control water regulation; this triggers the secondary effect of an increased chance of exaggerated reactions from the defence systems of the body. So you can see that dehydration is intrinsically linked to allergies and other illnesses. You can vastly improve your well-being by simply drinking a few glasses of water a day! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
