Human
blood pH should be slightly alkaline ( 7.35 - 7.45
). Below or above this range generally leads to symptoms. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A pH below 7.0 is
acidic. A pH above 7.0 is alkaline. A pH of 6.75 to 7.2 is generally a healthy range for urine and saliva, but have your doctor test this.
An
acidic pH can occur from an acid forming diet,
emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune
reactions or any process that deprives the cells of
oxygen and other nutrients. If the diet does not contain enough
minerals to compensate, it will pull them from our tissues, and a build up of acids in the
cells will occur.
An
acidic pH decreases the body's ability to
absorb minerals and other nutrients, decreases the
energy production in the cells, it's
ability to detoxify heavy metals, repair damaged cells, makes tumor cells
thrive, and makes the body more susceptible to fatigue and
illness.
The
reason acidosis is more common in our society is
mostly due to the typical American diet, which is
far too high in acid producing animal foods like
meat, eggs, poultry and dairy, and far too low in alkaline
producing foods which contain chlorophyll such as fresh vegetables.
Additionally, we eat acid producing processed foods
as in white flour and sugar and drink acid producing
beverages like coffee and soft drinks. Drugs are usually acid forming as are artifical chemical sweetners like NutraSweet,
Spoonful, Sweet 'N Low and Equal. One of the best
ways we can correct an overly acid body is
to detoxify with supplemental support and adjusting what is in our daily diet.
The general recommendation is to eat 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods to restore health and then 60% alkaline foods with 40% acid foods for maintainance.
Generally, alkaline forming foods include: fruits low in sugar, green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils,
spices, herbs and seasonings, seeds and nuts.
Generally, acid forming foods include: processed foods, meat, fish,
poultry, eggs, grains, and some legumes.
Shifting Your pH Toward Alkaline...
These
charts are a general guide to alkalizing and
acidifying foods for those desiring to shift their body
pH and is not meant to substitute for your doctors advice. The pH scale is from 0 to 14, with numbers
below 7 acidic ( low on oxygen ) and numbers above 7
alkaline. Balance in what we eat and drink is the key.
This
chart is intended only as a general guide to
alkalizing and acidifying foods.

The citric acid that citrus fruit contains
is actually alkalinizing to the body.
Note that a food's acid or alkaline forming
tendency in the body has nothing to do with
the actual pH of the food itself. For
example, lemons are very acidic, however the
end products they produce after digestion
and assimilation are very alkaline so,
lemons are alkaline forming in the body.
Likewise, meat will test alkaline before
digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue
in the body so, like nearly all animal
products, meat is very acid forming.

NOTE: Match with the numbers above.
1.
Excellent for EMERGENCY SUPPORT for
colds, coughs, sore throats, heartburn, and
gastro upsets.
2.
Good for a yearly fast. For several days
eat whole melon, chew pips well and eat
also. Super alkalizing food.
3.
Substitute for gelatin, more nourishing.
4.
Stimulating, non-irritating body healer.
Good for endocrine system.
5.
Purifies kidneys.
6.
Powerful acid reducer detoxing to produce
acid urine temporarily, causing alkalinity
for the long term.
7.
Natural sugars give alkalinity. Added sugar
causes juice to become acid forming.
8.
Depends on vege's content and sweetness.
9.
Enzyme rich, superior digestibility.
10.
High calcium content. Cornflour substitute.
11.

19.
Using sea salt and apple cider vinegar.
20.
Contains sea minerals. Dried at low
temperatures.
21.
Range
from 7.0 to 8.0.
22.
Sprouted grains are more alkaline. Grains
chewed well become more alkaline.
23.
