Histamine accumulation syndrome is sometimes improperly referred to as “histamine intolerance.” Although this term is commonly used, it’s important to understand that it does not represent an intolerance in the classic sense (such as lactose intolerance, which is linked to a well-defined enzymatic deficiency, or gluten intolerance—both of which can be diagnosed with specific tests).
So, let’s take a closer look at what it actually is.
Diabetic foot is one of the most common chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. It involves a combination of peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) and vasculopathy (microcirculation impairment), which reduce sensitivity, slow down healing, and increase the risk of infections. Without careful treatment, it can progress severely.
Hypertension, commonly referred to as "high blood pressure," is one of the most widespread and dangerous conditions globally.. While many are aware of risk factors like obesity, poor diet, and unhealthy lifestyles, the link between low-grade chronic inflammation and hypertension is less well-known.
With the arrival of summer, many people start thinking about the dreaded "swimsuit test." This time of year often sees an increase in last-minute diets, which typically lead to a loss of fluids and muscle. However, it's important to approach weight loss with strategies based on scientific evidence to ensure sustainable and healthy results.
Menopause is a physiological and natural transition, but with the right approach, it's possible to effectively manage the changes and associated symptoms. A combination of balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and inflammation management can significantly improve quality of life for every woman during and after menopause, promoting long-term well-being and health.
The arrival of the spring season brings bright days and milder temperatures. However, for some of us, spring brings along another less pleasant aspect: asthma and seasonal respiratory allergies. In this article, we will explore these conditions and share some strategies to successfully manage them.
The rotation diet, which forms the foundation of the GEK Lab methodology, is a type of diet that alternates different food groups throughout the week based on strictly scientific principles.
Its key feature is that it does not exclude any specific food from meals.
Hives (urticaria) are one of the most common dermatological conditions, typically presenting with itching and raised red patches on the skin. Chronic hives often indicate an underlying systemic inflammatory condition, which is frequently triggered by excessive or repeated consumption of certain foods.
Arthritis is a widespread condition that affects joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscle fascia, causing pain and stiffness. Regardless of the underlying causes, all forms of arthritis are linked to local or systemic inflammation.
Assessing whether one has a genetic predisposition to developing autoimmune diseases allows for the implementation of dietary and supplement strategies with a preventive approach.
The protein BAFF (B cell Activating Factor) has been known to the scientific community for well over a decade, and numerous studies have elucidated its involvement in various processes as well as its potential relationships with inflammation, including inflammation related to diet.
For a long time, ESR and CRP have been the primary biomarkers for assessing inflammation. However, these "acute-phase" proteins have limitations in specificity and sensitivity for identifying low-grade inflammation. Other biomarkers, such as BAFF and PAF, which are linked to specific immune pathways, are more accurate for this type of inflammation.
