Benefits of Being in an Alkaline State

​Did you know that for optimum health your blood pH should be around 7.3 - 7.5? 
This puts your body in an alkaline state. 

In this alkaline state, your body's metabolism, immune system, enzymes and repair mechanisms work effectively.

When the pH moves out of this ideal range then

• the waste products from our cells build up,
• toxins are not removed,
• nutrients from the foods we eat don't get used properly.

As a result; bacteria, parasites and fungi grow really well and reproduce at an alarming rate, like bunnies!!!

​Being too acidic contributes to 

• diseases,
• digestive problems like constipation, bloating, diarrhea,
• tiredness,
• poor sleep habits,
• headaches and
• body pains, like gout.

What causes us to be acidic?

• Eating processed foods, sugar and grains like bread and pasta
• Not eating enough vegetables and fruit
• Toxins in the environment and from chemicals
• Metabolic processes withiour our bodies
• Stress
• Alcohol 
• Smoking

When we are acidic then our body requires minerals to buffer and rebalance our blood pH.

Our body can draw these minerals from the fluid surrounding our cells.
BUT once that is used up,
our body begins to draw these rebalancing minerals from our bones!

And THEN our illnesses begin!

To find out what your pH is 
you can measure your urine.

You can purchase pH testing papers from your health shop. Dip your pH paper into your first week of the day. 

A range of between 6.5 - 7.5 is fairly neutral. Below 7, which is the pH of water, shows that you are acidic.

If your reading is below 6.5 it is a good idea to start making dietary changes to bring your urinary pH back t the ideal range of 6.5 - 7.5

Also take a mineral supplement which will help your body in stabilsing your blood pH and a vitamin C supplement.

You could use an alkaline powder which has minerals that are necessary to alkalise your blood pH.

You may think that an acidic tasting food like an orange or pineapple would be acid producing for your body. BUT that assumption is flawed.

When foods are broken down acids are produced that are neutralised by alkaline mineral salts like magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium.

The types of foods that we eat affect our acid-alkaline balance.

Most vegetables  are alkaline forming and contain calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium.

On the other hand, animal proteins, dairy and grains tend to be acid forming and contain chlorine, phosphorous, sulphur and nitrogen.

​What foods will help to alkalise you?

Sweet potatoes                Parsnips                Mushrooms
Broccoli                           Cauliflower             Cabbage
Kale                                  Parsley                  Rocket
Bell peppers                     Pumpkin                 Aubergine / Egg plant
Garlic                                Asparagus
Watermelon                      Raspberries            Blueberries
Pineapple                         Peach                      Melons
Pears                                Cherry                     Apples
Avocado                            Olives

Switch to these foods

1. Use quinoa and wild rice instead of pasta and other grains.
2. Use Xylitol as your sweetener as it won't affect your blood sugar levels.

Apple Cider Vinegar may taste acidic but it is extremely beneficial. 

• It promotes healthy digestion.
• Increases blood oxygen levels
• Regulates calcium absorption
• Prevents food from putrefying in your gut which will reduce your bloating and gassiness
• And it contain malic acid which helps to neutralise toxins.

When buying Apple Cider Vinegar make sure you choose ORGANIC. ​
