Good morning my friends . . .
Hope your weekend was awesome!
So, the question for today is this . . .
What does DAO stand for . . . and why is it so important to our health???
Well . . . DAO stands for "diamine oxidase" . . . an enzyme that is needed for "histamine intolerance" . . .
It's a "digestive enzyme " produced in the kidneys . . . thymus . . . and the intestinal lining of the digestive tract . . .
And its "primary" function . . . is to BREAK DOWN EXCESS HISTAMINE in the body.
So, next questions . . .
How many of you have inflammation . . . allergies . . . or swelling in the body?
How many are allergic to bug bite or bee stings?
Have food intolerance?
Have migraines or other vascular headaches?
How about gastrointestinal disorders like . . . IBS, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence or feeling swollen and bloated?
Or what about . . . dermatological disorders like . . . dry skin or psoriasis?
Well . . . THAT'S a deficiency in DAO!!!
You see . . . when levels of the enzyme called DAO are TOO LOW in the body . . . it's difficult to efficiently "metabolize" . . . and excrete "histamine".
And as a result . . . "histamine" levels rise and accumulate in the body . . . leading to various physical symptoms that resemble those of an allergic reaction.
So, at this point . . . since our DAO is already TOO LOW . . .
When you eat "histamine-rich" food or beverages . . . the body will experience hives, itchy or flushed skin, red eyes, facial swelling, runny nose or congestion, headaches, soft-tissue rheumatism (pain in the tendons or joints), back pain, and inflammation of the muscles and swelling.
You see . . . it's really NOT the food itself that we're allergic to . . . or the pollen in the air . . . or that bug bite.
It's the fact that the "mechanics" of our body . . . including DAO . . . are NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY!!!
So, tomorrow . . . let's figure out why we would have low DAO . . .
