A culinary trip to Asia! Chicken with fresh seasonal vegetables.

A very delicious dish, a great source of lean, low fat protein and it is a perfect way to get magnesium, zinc, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 vitamins. B vitamins are useful for boosting immunity, eliminating weaknesses and improving the nervous system.

The combination of marinated chicken, sesame, coriander, soy sauce, rice syrup and a touch of lime is a very tasty harmonic combination.

Ingredients:

  • 400g chicken breast filet
  • Some fresh coriander
  • 6 tablespoons of tamari sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of white sesame seeds
  • Sea salt
  • 1/2 red and small chili
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 tablespoon of rice syrup
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
  • Fresh vegetables according to the season and your tolerance
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tablespoon of tamari sauce
  • Some herbal salt
  • 3-4 skewers

Preparation:

Clean, dab dry and dice the chicken into big pieces. Put the pieces into a bowl. Clean the coriander, shake it dry and chop. Juice the lime and dice the chili. Add these ingredients, plus the tamari sauce and the rice syrup to the chicken, mix well and let everything infuse for 2 hours in the fridge. (It’s not mandatory but it will taste better with a more intense flavor if you let the meat marinate for a while.)

Preheat the oven up to 100 degrees Celsius. In the meantime clean and chop the veggies. Peel and dice the onion. Sauté the vegetables and the onions in a little coconut oil for about 5 minutes. Add the tamari sauce, stir and season with some herbal salt to taste. Keep everything warm within the oven. Take the meat out of the fridge, rinse the skewers under water and put the meat onto the skewers.

Slowly warm the coconut oil in a pan and brown the skewers from both sides turning them about two times. Before you turn each side for the second time, scatter the sesame seeds and the coriander over the chicken skewers. Brown once more on both sides.

Serve the Asian chicken skewers with the sautéed veggies and ENJOY!

ARE YOU PLAGUED WITH HEADACHES?

They can make you feel very unwell. About two thirds of the population of western countries state that they occasionally suffer from them. One in four complains of regular headaches. This means that in addition to backache, headaches are one of the most frequent ailments.

However, headaches are not simply headaches. Medical experts have now identified that there are more than 180 different types of headache. And the symptoms are accordingly very varied. Some patients complain of throbbing headaches or an unbearable hammering in the head, others complain of tension behind the forehead.

Headaches can start gradually or very suddenly. They may be dull or stabbing, very strong or hardly perceptible. They can occur as episodes or may be felt continuously. Two types of headache are especially widespread: More than 90 percent of patients suffer from so-called tension headaches or migraine.

Headaches or migraine have many causes. The triggers may also include foods. Chocolate, cheese and wine are often suspected.

However, have you also considered milk, nuts or gluten? 
Food intolerances such as histamine intolerance or a delayed food allergy may cause headaches.

What about you? Do you know your own personal triggers?

If your headache is caused by histamine intolerance…

With a histamine intolerance, an excessively high histamine level in the body results in intolerance reactions which are similar to allergies. Histamine is produced by the body, but is also taken in with food. It is essential for the body. It is only excessive or unmetabolised histamine which causes problems.

Excess histamine may occur if too much histamine-rich food or food which releases histamine is consumed. Normally, histamine is broken down in the body by the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO). However, if there is a deficiency in activity or inhibition of DAO, the histamine cannot be completely metabolised. This may result in symptoms such as headaches and gastrointestinal or skin problems.

 

Can a delayed food allergy trigger headaches?

If your headache is caused by a delayed food allergy…

With a delayed food allergy the body triggers a defence response by the immune system against certain foods. If the small intestine is damaged due to stress, infections or medications, other food constituents that cannot normally enter the bloodstream are able to do so. These food constituents are identified as foreign bodies by the immune system and so-called IgG antibodies are formed to counteract them. These antibodies bind to the food constituents and trigger a reaction by the immune system. This causes inflammations in the body, which may result in delayed headaches.

You can find out whether you suffer from a delayed food allergy with an ImuPro blood test. With a comprehensive blood analysis, this identifies increased quantities of IgG antibodies against particular foods.
