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.

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

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.
