I officially have started a new mission. I have changed my diet to mostly a raw food diet where I juice mostly fruits and vegetables. My main goal is to make my body stay in optimal health and reach a good pH level. A healthy body has a pH balance of 7.0. Now I’m usually a very healthy eater and for the last couple of days I have been juicing fruits and green vegetables for my meals and I havn’t felt this good in a long while. I have lost four pounds already and I feel amazing so I know choosing an alkaline based diet will be a good choice to make. When your body is in a healthier and more alkaline environment this reduces the risk of diebetes, cancer, and arthritis. Their are many signs on which your body could be acidic and I will list these symptoms below:

Lack of energy, Nervousness (easily stressed), Inflamed-sensitive gums, Dental Cavities, Conjunctivitis, Cracks at the corner of the lips, Runny Nose, Prone to Chills, Dry Skin, Skin is red or irritated in areas where you sweat a lot like knees or underarms, Itches, Nails are weak, Hair is dull or falls out a lot, Leg cramps and spasms, Stiff Neck, Lumbago, Migrant join pains, Arthritis, and Osteoporosis, Headaches, Easy weight gain, mental confusion (forgetfullness).

My symptoms; included having lack of energy, nervousness, prone to chills, dry skin, hair as been falling out a lot more latly, lumbago, mental confusion-forgetfullness, and sometimes I would break out in a rash. All this confused me because I usually eat very healthy and take lots of herbal supplements. Then I used the pHion Balance Diagnostic Stips that I got at my local health food store called Roosters and found out that my pH balance was not good so I have realized my problem and now I’m on a mission to alkalize my body by eating alkalizing foods and using pH Protector Drops in my water or tea to boost the alkaline in my body. Iv’e done some research and this is what an individual should consume to create a more alkalize state in the body:

Alkalizing Foods

Potatoes, this is one of the best foods to eat because it has anti-acidifying qualities. The juice of the potatoe is used to solve the problems of stomach acidity and ulcers. I plan on juicing a potatoe tonight.

Chestnuts

Green Vegetables

Colored Vegetables- NO TOMATOES!

Corn

Bananas

Almonds, Brazil Nuts

Dried Fruits

Almond Milk

Black Olives presserved in oil

Avocado

Barley Grass- is wonderful for balancing the body’s pH but also can help with skin issues such as acne, eczema, melanosis. I’m definetly trying this!

Acidifying Foods

Meat

Chicken Eggs…NOT Duck Eggs!

Cheeses…This is sad!

Animal Fats such as Lard

Whole Grains and Refined Grains

Breads, Pasta, Cereal Flakes

Leguminous plants such as peanuts, soybeans, white beans, broad beans

White Grains

Sweets: syrups, chocolate, jelly

Condiments such as Mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

* You should always have more alkalizing foods than acidifying foods when eating a meal. People who are trying to change their pH balance should have about 80% alkalizing foods and 20% acidifying foods.

*Only eating alkaline vegetables and plant-based foods should last about one to two weeks unless you have a very severe condition. Your body needs protein so supplementing after a week or two with good protein such as NON-GMO Chia Seeds and Flaxseeds can be very beneficial to the body.

This change will be very difficult but I’m most certain that it will be the best for my body, health, and overall health! Hope this helped you health freaks!
