Аcid base balance in the body

Essential prerequisite for achieving and maintaining wholesome health is theacid-base balance of the body.

The food we eat plays a major role in maintaining this balance in the body. Perfect ratio for human health is the food you consume to be 70-80% alkalizing and 20-30% acidifying.

The main acidifying foods are meat, pasteurized dairy products, many of the cereals and legumes, the refined products.
Alkalizing foods are fruits, vegetables and some cereals. They have the ability to purify the body of accumulated waste products.

The meat protein is more structured and hard to digest. In order for the body to break itdown into amino acids to rebuild protein a complicated, long and exhausting digestive process that depletes vital energyis needed. Consumption of large amounts of proteins of this type leads to high acidity of the body.

The mediumin the human body – the saliva, small intestine, colon, lymph, urine and blood are slightly alkaline. The only acid medium is in the stomach and there starts the degradation of the proteins.Consuming excessive acidifying food leads to a serious loss to health since they irritate the mucosaof the gastrointestinal tract . Body tries to protect itand begins to secrete mucus that accumulates in the body and clogsthe systems. This causes inflammation and the more inflamedthetissueis, the more inflamed are the endocrine glands.This vicious cycleinevitably weakens resistance.

One way to regulate the acid-base balance is by purification of the internal organs. There are various methods of detoxification. Some of them are mechanical, e.g. purification of the gastrointestinal tract with the yoga technique Shankaprakshalana or with enema, or of the liver with lemon, olive oil and herbs. Another way to detox is by fasting – subsisting on water, juices, fruits and relaxing vegan raw diet. After several such purification steps, gradually a variety of healthy foods are introduced. It is crucial to monitor how the body reacts to each food. It is recommended that the detoxification and the feeding afterwards should be carried out under consultation of a specialist.

Always start the day with alkalizing foods because in the morning the body is more acidic. In the summer, eat more fruits and vegetables, which are the opposite of the warm weather.
In the winter take more warm and filling food to be able to warm up the body.

Of great importance is the mood in which we cook and how we eat - they attach positive (alkaline) or negative (acidic) charge of the food.
 

Pleasure, laughter, happiness and sleep are alkalizing.

Worry, anger, hatred, jealousy and lack of sleep are acidifying.

The higher the acidityis in the blood of a person, the more likely it is to appear and feel sick.
 

When our food contains a lot of sugar, bread and meat, and is low in fresh vegetables and fruits, it createsacid saturation. When we take mainly fresh fruit and vegetables alkalinity of the blood is increased and it improves our health and stamina.

The combination of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains and legumes is the best nutrition for humans.

To reach that, it is sometimes necessary transition of months or years. This transition should be done under the supervision of a nutrition specialist.
