ACID/ALKALINE FORMING FOODS

ACID/ALKALINE BALANCE

Alkaline producing foods should be 80-90% of your daily intake when in health, and 100% when not in health, until a balance is reached in the body.

These alkaline foods are rich in organic minerals and vitamins which feed and cleanse the body. All body functions of elimination of waste matter from the bowel, kidneys, skin and lungs must be constant to keep the body clean of poisons produced by the body in it's daily functioning.

Apart from food, the body can be overcome by an acid condition through worry, fear, anger, gossip, hatred, envy, selfishness, and sulking. Also love-hunger and loneliness. To help maintain the alkaline balance - rest and sleep are alkalizers: so is fresh air, happy laughter, cheerful conversation and true loving experiences. These all relax the nerves and generate power in the body.
