our food supply due to chemicals, pesticides and genetically
modified foods all in the name of profit. While stock holders
are happy, what about the millions of people who are
nutritionally deficient and suffering with ailments and disease
needlessly!
The key to good health relies on the correct ratio of
acid/alkaline balance in the body. How one achieves this is by
eating 75% alkaline forming foods and 25% acid forming foods,
preferably organic.
Acid Forming Foods
-All processed foods! This includes pastas, cakes, cookies,
salad dressings etc.
-Meats, including Beef, pork, bird, fish, shellfish, eggs
-All dairy products, including butter, milk, cream, ice cream,
cheese
-Nuts
-Sodas
-Caffeine, coffee, tea
-All breads
-Alcohol
-All foods with sugar
-Vegetables such as asparagus, sauerkraut, chickpeas, brussels
sprouts
-Vinegar
-Lentils
-Plums, prunes, cranberries
Alkaline Forming Foods
-Salad greens
-Fresh fruit
-Dried fruit such as raisins, dates, figs, apricots
-All sprouts
-All vegetables (except the ones listed above) Especially good
are onions and garlic
-Citrus fruits ( even though they are acidic, they have an
alkalizing affect on the body)
-Good fats such as olive and flaxseed oil
-Honey, maple syrup and molasses
-Herbal teas
-Fresh fruit and vegetable juices
-Yogurt and sour cream
-Almonds, brazil nuts
If you look closely at the lists above you can get a pretty
good idea of what you currently may be eating more of, whether
acid or alkaline type foods. To get a more accurate measure
you can buy ph strips from any drug store and see exactly where
you are at and what you need to do create the optimum ph balance
in your body.
In optimum health the body will naturally filter, cleanse,
detox and extract nutrients efficiently.
If you find you are over acidic or alkaline you can take steps
to repair the situation by switching over to the foods you
should be eating on a regular basis.
Water is also extremely important in not only the cleanse
cycle, but in normal daily function. You would be surprised at
how many people are generally dehydrated and suffering
needlessly with pain and fatigue, and it is a very easy fix.
Drink up! Lots of water! You'll feel much better. (This is a
major undiagnosed problem for seniors)
For better health! Enjoy the journey!
