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

Acid and where it comes from

Acid is formed in the body when you consume some particular 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 level of acid, drinking a lot of water is one way to help, the other is to eat plenty of alkaline 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
