Breakpoint

Jai Ho to Indian food! East, West, South, North, Indian Food is the best! Starting from the top, north Indian snacks like, chaat, bhel puri, pav bhaaji, lassi, the list is endless. Bengali sweets, maharashtrian ragda patties, then move down south, and what have you but our very own idli, dosais, murukku, vadais, and many more. Which country in the globe can boast of such varied and tasty cuisine? The entire west has to offer is bread based, bland continental food or at the most, barbecued meat and some salad. From the orient one would get sushi, rice, noodles, and snails, and some delectable seafood.

Hives are also known as urticaria, and they cause raised white or yellow, itchy wheals surrounded by an area of red inflammation. It is an allergic reaction by the skin, causing the body to release histamine into the effected tissues. The size of the wheal itself varies, with the larger ones sometimes joining together in places to form an irregular rash. They usually cause severe irritation and usually appear on the limbs and trunk, but can appear anywhere. Acute urticaria develops rapidly and usually lasts for just as few hours – it is characterized by a feverish, faint feeling and occasionally nausea. Chronic urticaria can persist for a long period of time.

Common triggers include drugs such as aspirin and penicillin, food additives, food sensitivity such as milk eggs, shellfish and nuts, environmental factors such as exposure to cold, heat or sunlight, stress and anxiety, and bites and stings.

All fruits and vegetables contain some amount of vitamin C. Foods that tend to be the highest sources of vitamin C include green peppers, citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, turnip greens and other leafy greens, sweet and white potatoes, cantaloupe and spinach. Vitamin C helps promote a healthy immune system and releases antihistamines. Green tea is also reported to have an antihistamine effect.
