How natural foods maintain acid-alkaline balance
October 22nd, 2009
How acid forms: Animal source foods such as meat and egg tend to exert an acid effect in the body because they are “burned” or subjected to digestion. This causes them to give off “end products” that are acidic.
How alkaline forms: Fruits and vegetables exert an alkaline effect during the process of digestion. Because they are generally low in protein (acid forming), they leave an alkaline residue in the system.
Maintain a balance: Located within the blood and lymph systems are “buffers” or substances that assist in maintaining a balance of acidity and alkalinity in the system. Natural raw fruits and vegetables cause the “buffers” to soak up excess acidity and excrete them through the kidneys. There “buffers” may remain inert without the prodding action of mineral – and enzyme-rich raw fruit and vegetables and this may lead to acidosis. Your gourmet health cookery program will give you juicy steaks, fragrant, herb-flavored chicken, tantalizing fish form the oceans of the world-and it will also give your raw garden salad. Maintain the important balance so that you can enjoy the good eating that your rightful heritage.
