Ways To Cure Acidity and Food Source Awareness

About Acidity and Alkalinity Of The Foods:

Food is a medicine that cures our body only if we’re choosing the right foods to eat. Some of the food we put on our table, may be deteriorating our health in such a ways we don’t even comprehend. Many of the fruits and vegetables in our markets are sprayed With chemical fertilizers and insecticides, and most meats are pumped up with antibiotics, hormones or fungicides. When we consume these chemicals, they can have a detrimental effect on our body. To take charge for our health, we have to become more conscious of the food we eat. We need to be investigators when it comes to reading food labels and learn how to identify the ingredients that destabilize our health. Don’t automatically trust a “natural” sticker that’s been slapped on a package in the store. If we find out where our food comes from, we can better appreciate the importance of eating whole, biological foods.

Bottom Line: Food that’s cultivated wild on this Earth, that hasn’t been naturally engineered, processed or fiddled with, is good for us. Everything else is uncertain.

Eradicating the following things from our diets can have a vivid and Progressive impact on our health:

1.White Flour (Bleached, refined flours)

2.Refined sugars, high-fructose corn syrup (High fructose corn syrup is hard to digest and utilize for energy)

3. Table salt (sodium chloride)

4. Trans fats and refined oils (including processed corn, canola,

Sunflower, safflower and vegetable oils)

5. Meats treated with hormones or antibiotics; farmed fish

6. Foods sprayed with insecticides and herbicides

7. Genetically modified foods

8. Dairy products

9. Additives such as stabilizers, nitrates, and synthetic flavorings and

colorings.

10. Fast foods and stir fry foods

11. Beverages and juices with added sugars

12. Tap water

Along with these factors mentioned above, specifically in combination with stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol, tobacco or drugs, raise acid altitudes in our bodies. That’s a problem, because health and disease are directly knotted to pH levels in our organism:  When the body is in an acidic state, it stops functioning properly and disease can take root, To reduce acid levels in our organism, we need to

 1) reduce acid-forming foods from our diet

 2) clear acidic, undigested food from the intestines

 3) flush toxins from the body 

 4) Add alkaline foods and drinks to reduce the effect of acidity

 5) relax the body and mind.

 When we do that, we can reduce congestion, inflammation and pain throughout our body, invigorate ourselves and increase our efficiency. We can get to a place where we’re able to suck every juicy nutrient from the food we’re eating and maintain an alkaline balance in the body.

Acidic or Alkaline?

A food can be acidic in its natural state but become alkaline when it’s digested—and visa versa.  For instance, lemon is acidic in its raw state. However, once eaten, it breaks down into carbon dioxide

and water and leaves behind alkaline minerals reserve such as sodium, potassium and calcium. On the other hand, animal foodstuffs, such as meat or dairy products, can leave behind acidic compounds such as phosphates, sulfates and nitrates.

An Acid State of Mind:

There is  more affecting our pH levels than the food we eat and stimulants or drugs we take. Our opinions, thoughts and  sensitivity also play a vital part in how acidic our body is. When we’re stressed out, annoyed, hopeless, disheartened or focused on negative thoughts, that actually elevates the levels of acid in our body. On the other side, when we’re happy, calm,relaxed, optimistic, confident and at peace, we reduce our acid levels. So an important part of a cleansing of acids from our body is taking time to unplug from our usual routines and making time for meditation to rest and

clear our minds. 

Symtoms of Being Acidic or Alkaline:

There are several revealing  signs for how acidic or alkaline your body might be. Symptoms of being too acidic include stiff joints, arthritis, muscle tension, stress headaches, craving to stimulants, irritated skin or acne, annoyance, a short-temper and chronic negative thoughts. Check in with yourself to see if your body is trying to tell you it’s time to  “Drop Acid.”

Easing the Detox Process:

Here are some dietary and lifestyle tips  leading up to the cleaning of acid from our system:

1. Start adding a few extra glasses of purified, alkalized water to your daily routine.

2. If you eat meat every day, cut it down and take it every other day.

3. If you start your day with a cup or two of coffee, consider substituting  to drinks with chicory root, herbal teas .

4. If you make pasta, rice or noodles with dinner, try substituting an additional vegetable to your diet.

5. If you regularly eat frozen or treated  foods, consider making simple, fresh meals at home.

6. If you smoke or drink alcohol, cut back on your daily intake. To help curb desires  for nicotine, drink 1/4 cup of lobelia tea sweetened with licorice root, or drink 10 to 12 drops of lobelia tincture in a glass of water several times a day.
