Acid-Alkaline Ballance

 

Our health revolves around the acid-alkaline state of our bodies. Acidic is negative, when our bodies are sick. When a person has cancer or disease their bodies are acidic. Sickness can only live in an acidic body, not an alkaline one. Alkaline is positive. A healthy body. Our goals everyday should be to have an alkaline body. You can buy strips at the health foods store that will let you know if your body is acidic or alkaline. You just lick the strip and it will turn a color. The darker the strip the more alkaline you are. A regular acid-alkaline pH is 7.0. (I just tested mine after my lemon water and I got 7.0)

​

How do our bodies become acidic? 

 

The biggest cause of an acidic body is stress and tension, built from negative emotions. So how do we change our emotions from negative to positive? We stop putting things in our bodies that make us negative. Things like alcohol, stimulants, chemicals, sugar, preservatives, drugs, fast food and so on. Now believe me that is easier said then done. It takes a lot of hard work to get there. It took me 6 months to take all of those things out of my diet. I had the support of my husband too. Just start with one thing at a time. It's all about baby steps and when your life's routine is free and clear of all things acidic you will feel like a new person. The storage of toxins is also very acidifying to the body. Death is the final result of a body that is too acidic for too long.



​Did you know it takes 32 glasses of water to regulate your pH balance after you drink 1 can of coke (all soft drinks).

 

How can we help our bodies become more alkaline?

 

Filling our bodies with raw fruits and vegetables, soaked nuts and seeds is the main way to become more alkaline. Basically the things that God gave us to live off of are the most healthy, and that should be obvious, don't you think? A healthy diet should consist of 80% or more alkaline-forming foods and 20% or less acid-forming foods. The average person eats the opposite of this combination.
