Warm up food again
Biogenic amines are available in many of our food. Histamine is also one of the outside Biogenes Amin, which is formed by the breakdown of the amino acid Histidin. It is therefore in Histamine -containing Food contained or is in the course of Storage and maturation formed. Therefore, fresh and easily perishable foods such as meat and fruit should be consumed as quickly as possible and should not be stored for long.
Short profile biogenic amine:
Biogenic amines are formed from amino acids and are therefore metabolic products that occur in plants, animals and humans. The biogenic amines include, for example, histamine, cadaverine, putrescin and tyramine. They all play a very important role in the human body.
Biogenic amine also arises during food processing, e.g. from fermentation or in the maturation process as well as when the food was spoiled. They are therefore also used as indicators of good food quality. The higher the content of biogenic amines in a food, the more the food spoils and the worse the quality. With the participation of other microorganisms (bacteria), the content of biogenic amines can continue to increase.
Fermented and easily perishable foods such as fish, cheese, meat, sausage, wine, soy and yeast extract are particularly affected. The substances in healthy people are quickly eliminated again via various degradation paths in the body. Histamine is mined, for example, by the enzyme dao in the intestinal mucosa. However, the DAO has a preference for Putrescin and Cadaverin as for histamine, i.e. that the two amines, which are first mentioned for the time, are first dismantled and histamine breakdown is delayed. This happens, for example, while enjoying red wine and cheese. Here you can also accelerate or delay histamine breakdown with the combination of food. Biogenic amine also dissolves when cooking in the cooking water, so that the concentration in food is reduced.
A distinction is made between two types of histamine -rich foods:
1. Food that even contain histamine as well as
2. Food that Release the body's own histamine (So -called histamine liberators).
The question now is: Can I warm up my self -cooked, actually less historical dish?
Biogenic amine - and therefore also histamine - are heat -stable and survive usual cooking processes. They cannot therefore be destroyed by cooking or freezing. (Small additional information: With histamine it was found that it is only destroyed to 116 ° C after a 90-minute heating.)
So if you want to warm up food again, you have to store them between cooking and recovering it for the first time. Especially protein -containing foods such as dairy products, fish, poultry and meat have a particularly high proportion of amino acid "histidine" and form more histamine in the course of this storage. The re -warming of these foods is better to avoid in the event of histamine intolerance.
Also Foods that themselves contain a lot of histamine or are histamine liberators from the outset (see above), you should not warm up again. Food without animal components, such as potatoes and low -histamine vegetables, on the other hand, are much better warmed up and are well tolerated, insofar as the food is not older than 12 to 24 hours and has been stored in the refrigerator since the first heat. As always, trying is about studying.

Don't forget to cool and hygiene!
The cooling is therefore important so that the growth of microorganisms is contained as strongly as possible. These microorganisms include, for example, normal bacteria that surround us every day and are not "dangerous". However, there are some bacterial strains that produce histamine and that would not be in our interest.
If you cook at home at lunchtime and want to eat it again in the evening, So it's best to cool down the pot quickly. So that you don't load the refrigerator so much, cooling packs can be helpful. Note because of the above -mentioned bacteria that the lid is on and closed. The closed lid also ensures a lack of oxygen in the pot: this is important, because some types of bacteria cannot develop without sufficient oxygen.
In winter at cool outside temperatures, it is suitable for cooling until you can put the container in the fridge, of course also the terrace or the balcony. Of course, you have to pay even more attention to hygiene there

Herd vs. microwave
If warming up for you, it is recommended to more to the stove instead of using the microwave - also regardless of histamine intolerance. Researchers at the Spanish Cebas-CSIC research institute of the University of Murcia found in 2003 that the microwave destroys the important antioxidants contained in the food much more than that with other heating methods.
A reform house describes why it is problematic when too many of the antioxidants are destroyed: “Antioxidants are our most important allies in the fight against free radicals, these are highly reactive oxygen compounds that are formed in the body and arise from influences such as UV radiation, exhaust gas, medication and environmental toxins. Creates cell damage, accelerates our aging process and is held responsible for a number of diseases. ” (https://reformhaus.de/blogs/tipps-trends/tipps-trends-was-ist-was-sind-antioxidantien)
Antioxidants in food include, for example, vitamins such as vitamin B12, C and E, but also minerals such as selenium, zinc or iron. Secondary plant substances such as flavonoids, carotenoids and resveratrol are also included. The best is a natural fruit and vegetable diet in organic quality to consume enough antioxidants. But this is also possible in the form of nutritional supplements, since our fruit and vegetables are unfortunately increasingly nutrient.
However, the stove is also more recommended because the microwave does not heat the food evenly, so that if necessary, pathogens (pathogens) germs may not be killed.
Eat on the way
If you do not tolerate warmed up food, you should also refrain from eating in canteens or canteen. Vespers prepared on the go are better suited, which you may have to cool but do not have to be warmed up, e.g. bread, fruit, salads. But if you want something warm and tolerate well, it is still better to warm up your meal brought in the microwave instead of using canteens or canteen as long as it does not become a habit.

The Dao is the main outdoor cym of histamine. A deficiency of the DAO is often a cause of histamine intolerance. The Diaminoxidase (DAO) in Daofood Complement the body's own enzyme. Taking a tablet daofood before each meal can increase the amount of DAO. This In the digestive tract, the processing of histamine can accelerate from food.

From those affected for those affected
We are Thomas and Michaela Zinser, founder of Histaminikus.
Because of the own histamine intolerance of Michaela and our son, we founded Histaminikus. The frustration does not find any suitable histamine food has spurred us to develop low -histamine food.
We would like to give you back a piece of quality of life. Feel free to look around with us.
Kind regards
Thomas and Michaela
