pH Balance Information

When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, and toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate. This is especially true in cases of arthritis and rheumatic situations.

Most foods are alkaline by nature, but manufactured processed foods are acidic. It is important to balance each meal with 75% alkaline to 25% acidic to maintain health.Perfect body pH is 6.4, above is alkaline and below is acidic. It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally balances your body pH.


pH Balance:

 

A Universal diet does not exist. People are individual and personal. So what works for one person may not work for the next. A balanced diet is unique for each person. To find balance, it is helpful to know not only your own personal needs, but the correct preparation of whole foods, how not to overeat, how to choose high-quality foods, avoiding too many unnatural food combinations, and the art of learning the broad range of nutritious foods including chlorophyll rich plants, the best source of certain fatty acids, and the dangers of food chemicals like aspartame, MSG, and food colorings.

When a good attitude and sufficient exercise are combined with a balanced and disciplined diet, you can find no limit to health. Remember that we eat to live; we do not live to eat. When food is seen as an object separate from other aspects of life, we create an imbalance. Preoccupation with food creates the illusion of a mind/body separation. Get back to the basics of eating, and recognize your individuality in relation to nutrition.

pH Balance Information

When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, and toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate. This is especially true in cases of arthritis and rheumatic situations.

The human body should be slightly alkaline in order to build an alkaline reserve for acid-forming conditions such as stress, lack of exercise, or poor dietary habits.

Acid-forming examples:


75% Alkaline Foods
25% Acidic Foods

Meats
fish
poultry
eggs
most dairy (Milk is approximately neutral in acid/alkaline but high in mucus-forming attributes such as fat.)
most grains and legumes (Millet and roasted buckwheat are slightly alkalizing. Soy and lima beans are extremely alkalizing.)
refined sugars
drugs
food chemicals

Alkaline-producing examples:

Fruits
Vegetables
Sprouts
Cereal grasses
Herbs

The acid and alkaline balance can be changed by simple practices such as:

  • Soak mildly acid-forming foods such as whole grains and legumes before cooking them, starting the sprouting process, which is alkalizing.
  • Chew thoroughly the complex carbohydrates as grains, vegetables, and legumes in order to mix them with salvia, a very alkaline fluid that begins the digestive process.
  • Do not drink while eating, as this stops the digestive process from beginning within the mouth.

The correct ratio of acid and alkaline forming foods is difficult to know since the balance is altered by chewing, food preparation, individual lifestyle, genetics, exercise, and mental outlook. However, those prone to infections, viruses, excess mucus problems and other toxic acidic conditions need to increase their alkaline diet.
