Now that you know the many negative ramifications that pH imbalances and inflammation can have on the body, I’m sure you’re exited to learn how to keep pH levels in check.
Here are certain prerequisites that work in unity to balance pH levels:
Implement daily detoxification practices, as well as a few more formal deep cleanses throughout the year (Detox / Cleanse)
Keep the body well-nourished...
DETOXIFYING or cleansing the body of accumulated toxins is far from a new concept. There is significant anthropological evidence throughout history confirming that different cultures have implemented body cleansing practices through the consumption of various herbs and detoxifying foods and fasting, while incorporating massage, meditation, and a variety of other mindful activities.
For instance,...
Once the body is cleansed properly, and elimination organs are clear, you can better absorb the food you eat. Healthy foods are now much more palatable. At this time, your diet can be consciously examined and fine-tuned. Remember, the foods you put in your body can act as the BEST medicine or the WORST poison. When you consume the highest quality, cleanest, most nutrient-dense food possible, in the...
So, what does pH have to do with what I put in my mouth?
Scientifically speaking, after you eat or drink something, a residue is left in the body, which can be more acidic or more alkaline forming. Alkaline-forming foods contain more alkaline minerals and less protein. They stimulate the production of sodium bicarbonate in the body, which can then neutralize stronger accumulating acids –like excess...
Determining the pH of any particular food or beverage is not so cut and dry, or one size or variety fits all, as most pH charts out there would have you believe. There are many variables to consider like food preparation, quality, quantity, origin, mind-set, metabolism, HCL production, microbiome pH, and food combinations.
Conventional products in general will be more acid forming than organic products...
Yes, alkalizing foods are primordial for optimal wellness, but don’t get it twisted. It is not recommended that the types of foods you consume be solely influenced by a pH based food chart. Many people are misled into believing that alkaline foods are good and acid foods are bad. Although these charts can be a great reference and guide, especially for someone just getting started on this type of...
There are MANY reasons why one should choose organic products over conventional!
Conventional and commercial growers and herders perform practices that have a multi-layer NEGATIVE impact on the environment. The purpose of conventional farming is to mass-produce and create the longest shelf life possible and they will go to any lengths to accomplish that task.
Conventional farming utilizes harmful...
Choosing grass-fed organic meats as opposed to their conventional counterparts should be of MAJOR concern for many reasons! Conventional farmers feed their animals a soy-grain centered diet. Organic, non-pastured animals can also be fed grains and soy, but their feed is organic non-GMO which makes a major difference.
Meat raised on grain feed tends to be higher in saturated fat and lower in omega-3...
Water is chemically the simplest, yet most invaluable nutrient in the body. You can survive without food temporarily, maybe even up to as much as 8 weeks in some cases, but only 2-5 days on average without water. This is of course contingent on the temperature and your health status. Roughly 70% of the human body is made up of water, with the blood being around 85%, and the brain up to 90%, making...
