pH Balance - Alkaline is good, Acid is bad
After I was diagnosed
with osteoporosis I came across a reference to excess acidity drawing
calcium out of the bones. I read Dr Baroody's book, "Alkalize
or Die" which was the first to come out about pH Balance. It
is a great book.
It explains in detail how we have allowed chronic disease to take over
our bodies by eating the wrong food and having stressful lives. It
often takes years for your body to show the consequences of excess
acid but, by 50, our grace period has run out and most people are showing
some negative effects.
There is much evidence
that most Americans over the age of 50 are suffering from acid overload. When
our body ph is too acid we are vulnerable to all kinds of diseases.
Bacteria, mold, yeast and fungi thrive in an acid environment. If
you are over-acid you will not be able to lose weight no matter how
much you diet and exercise. The body stores fat and water to protect
itself from acid in the body. If you are working out with an acid
ph you create more uric acid for the body to get rid of. Sluggish
digestion is also tied to acid ph. In fact, there are many doctors
and nutritionists who think correcting the ph of your body is the
logical first step to getting well and to a new vibrant life.
Most of the food we eat on the Standard
American Diet is acid forming and therefore addicting. I'm sure if
you are reading this you have already made some adjustments in your
eating habits. Proteins, fats, processed foods of all kinds, are all
acid-forming. Really the only things that aren't are vegetables, some
fruits and some nuts. So, the trick is, to take a drink of green
powder or a glass of lemon water about an hour after eating acid-forming
foods, then your pH Balance will come back into the healthy range.
You test your urine in the morning to check
the ph level. Then check again after lunch and dinner to see how the
food you ate affected you. I have had a healthy diet for years now
and yet, when I tested in the afternoon, an hour after lunch, my ph
was acid. I merely had to change a few things in my diet and I became
alkaline again. I am selling
here the best test strip on the market, the one Dr Baroody
recommends, so you can test your acid balance. If you test acid with
the strips, you can have a green drink or half a lemon in water and
bring your ph back into balance. Lemon is acid but it creates an alkaline
condition in your body. Try it and you'll see for yourself. Test one
hour after drinking.
You can also test your ph level before and
after a stressful event and notice how much your levels have changed.
Becoming emotionally upset is as hard on our bodies as french fries
and coke. It's really not worth it. Cultivate joy and peace and your
ph level will stabilize.
Robert Young has a good book also, "Ph
Miracle". He has a very informative site about acid/alkaline balance.
His way of eating is very healthy but I think it is too extreme for
most people who are not motivated by suffering. The solutions I am
suggesting will be a transition for people to explore the good feelings
and energy of having correct pH Balance.
If you are suffering
from diabetes, arthritis, cancer or any major disease, you will definately
want to read more about controlling the ph of your body. Buy
some test strips and see for yourself then you can get educated about
it.
I can't stress enough
that the time to sit back and expect your doctor to take care of
you is over. Health has been my major interest for decades
so I have seen this coming. Doctors don't have the time or inclination
to research nutritional issues. It's not in their curriculum. They
have become drug suppliers and the evidence is mounting that most
drugs do more harm than good. Drugs are usually designed as selective
poisons aimed at certain symptoms. Unfortunately the drugs affect
our entire body not just the symptom they were aimed at. We will
eventually look back on that as insanity. We are complete organisms
and we need complete foods to heal our bodies and bring us back to
balance. Take a look at the green food I
am selling on the site - it really is the best one out there and
will help to alkalinize your body.
