Giving Yourself the Alkaline Advantage

Eating by PH group to give yourself an alkaline constitution
It's our mission here at juiceproducer to spread the need to know health knowledge out to the busy masses, yes in the name of the country's health we juice, blend, grind and boil our way through the things that work and some that don't. Sorting the effective from the duff and delivering our findings to you.

This next one is amongst the most simple and effective, it's the process of alkalizing your system. Now we think of health as a sliding scale, most of us are relatively healthy, its fair to say that there is room for improvement but also we are a long way off grinding to a halt and sporting a feverish brow. Illness or disease needs several factors before it can take a hold, low immune system, lack of oxygen (just one reason you need a good dance once in a while) are a couple. One way of allowing disease to grip is an acidic constitution.

Acid and where it comes from

Acid is formed in the body when you consume certain foods (all of the fun ones, typically) the body dispenses of this acid in the form of uric acid. Now your body only has the capacity to rid itself of a certain amount of acid, drinking plenty of water is one way to help, the other is to eat plenty of alkalising foods keeping your constitution alkaline and making it difficult for disease to set in.

Highly acidic : eggs, mayonnaise, fish, shellfish, bacon, beef, chicken, lamb, liver , veal.

slightly acid : nuts, cheddar cheese, herrings, mackerel, rye, oats, wheat, rice, plums.

Neutral : butter, margarine, coffee, tea, sugar, syrup.

Slightly alkaline : almonds, coconut milk beans cabbage celery lentils lettuce mushrooms onions root veggies tomatoes apricots apples bananas grapes grapefruit oranges peaches raspberries prunes.

Very alkaline : avocado, beetroots carrots potatoes spinach dried fruit wheatgrass rhubarb

There you go, fruit and veggies rock again!! Armed with the right info it's easy to make healthy food decisions where ever you are! Never a truer word was said than "eat your greens!" So now as you drink your freshly made juice you know it’s rammed full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, nutrients AND that it’s alkalizing helping you to stay disease free!

Please don't be put off the oily fish you see listed here, eating oily fish three times a week is an excellent way of ensuring adequate levels of Omega oils. Just eat a good supply of dark leafy greens to balance things out.
