Acid / base relativities for 1 oz (30 g) of food

[Guest guest]

HI All,

 

The waste products created from the body's own process of metabolism are all

acid. Protein metabolism produces sulphuric

and phosphoric acid. Carbohydrate and fat metabolism produces acetic and lactic

acid. These acids are poisonous and must

be washed out of the system continually. First, however, the acids must be

neutralized by carbonic salts, which are

composed of alkaline mineral compounds. We must have a reserve of these

alkalising compounds available at all times to

assist the body in balancing and cleansing itself efficiently.

 

Acidosis is a condition where the pH of the intestinal tract and the blood

become excessively acidic. This can promote

the growth of pathogenic fungi like candida and exacerbate yeast infections.

Eventually this can lead to many forms of

chronic and degenerative diseases.

 

To raise pH, avoid acid-ash foods, overuse of antibiotics, and monitor the pH of

the saliva (6.4-6.5), urine (5.5-5.6),

and blood (7.3-7.6). The ideal alkaline/acid ratio for good health is 75-80%

alkalising foods.
