About your Diet
Why a Diet of mostly
alkaline forming Foods ?
Our blood pH must stay within a very narrow range or serious illness and death can be the result! It has to be close to 7.4. Less than 7 is too acidic. More than 7 is too alkaline. The pH of distilled water is 7. pH stands for "potential Hydrogen".
The body’s pH affects everything: Too acidic means that the blood contains too many Hydrogen ions and cannot deliver sufficient oxygen to all your cells to keep them healthy. Acids will then bond to alkaline minerals in our intra- and extracellular and lymph fluids, and become neutral salts.
If there are not enough alkaline minerals in the fluids to neutralize the acids, the body will steal sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium from vital organs and bones.
Excess acids will also be stored as crystals in newly formed fat cells in tissues and joints, causing damage to surrounding cells. Moreover, the body cannot effectively absorb vitamins, minerals and food supplements in order to remain alkaline.
This depletion causes reduced metabolism and chronic dis-eases, such as Gout, that may go undetected for years. Removing an inflammation with medications or other means is ONLY the 1st step. Naturally removing all excess acids in crystal & fluid form is a necessary 2nd step for a full cure.
This alkaline food chart enables you to create a diet that contains 70% alkaline (forming) foods to restore pH balance.
It’s not only what, but also what cannot go with what!
*Groundnut*
Looking for a daily protein fix? Raw groundnuts are a rich source of energy and a staple in any well-balanced diet.
*Honey*
An everyday superfood with immense benefits. Honey is an integral part of Ayurveda. Honey can be consumed raw, with cold water, or in warm water – each with a different effect.
*Turmeric*
Hailed globally for its many health benefits, turmeric purifies the blood, body, and the energy system. Consumption of turmeric on an empty stomach is a very effective cleanser.
*Neem*
Neem has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, and an ability to generate ushna (heat) in the body which is hugely supportive for those doing asanas. It is known in the West as Azadirachta indica.
*Neem and Turmeric*
The consumption of neem and turmeric with tepid water on an empty stomach is a wonderful way of removing any stomach infections and controlling excess bacterial activity, depleting energy levels.
