Irene talked about Acid Base Balance today on 900CHML!

So what is acid base balance? The term acid-base balance is the interaction and balance between acid and alkaline mineral salts as well as a maintained balance between food intake and excretion of metabolic waste products. When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, and toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate. This is especially true in cases of arthritis and rheumatic situations. Most foods are alkaline by nature, but manufactured processed foods are acidic. It is important to balance each meal with 75% alkaline to 25% acidic to maintain health. Perfect body Ph is 6.4 above is alkaline and below is acidic. It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally balances your body ph. People are individuals, so what works for one person may not work for the next, a balanced diet is unique for each person. To find balance it is helpful to know not only your own personal needs, but how to eat and choose high quality foods, including chlorophyll-rich plants, and certain fatty acids. Avoiding too many unnatural foods, and the dangers of food chemicals, like aspartame, MSG and food colorings. Remember that we eat to live, not live to eat. Get back to the basics of eating and recognize your individuality in relation to nutrition. Too many sweet things can negatively affect the intestinal flora, which can also contribute to hyperacidity. Avoid stress as much as possible, or learn to respond differently to common stressors. Think positively and smile often.
