ACID vs ALKALINE

One conclusion I have come to, and one that is widely held by cancer survivors is that there is a definitive link between the growth of cancer cells and the acid vs alkaline balance in one's body. The PH Miracle book that I referenced in an earlier post, is focused on explaining this relationship and it's impact on our body.

I know that overall, my body is most often in an alkaline state because I choose to eat foods that promote that balance and I am convinced it has had a positive impact on my body's ability to reverse the cancer cells in my body.

I'm not going to go into exhaustive detail here, but vegetables, certain grains, fruits, nuts and seeds, as well as almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, legumes and whole-grain rice promote an alkaline state. Dairy products, red meat, pork, chicken, wheat and some other grains, some nuts and seeds, some fruits and refined foods promote an acid state.

By eliminating dairy (except yogurt and organic eggs which we choose to eat on occasion) red meat, pork, all types of deli meats, refined foods and by reducing our intake of wheat-based products we have promoted an alkaline-based environment in our bodies.

Ask yourself these questions; how often after a meal do you find yourself clearing your throat? How often do you feel bloated or tired after a meal? How often do you experience energy peaks and valleys throughout the day?

These are all symptomatic of body imbalance. Mucus is formed as a result of our bodies attempt to "throw-off" the acid imbalance and it is important to note that acid imbalance is a cumulative condition and your body's way of saying, feed me different foods!! Dairy and animal protein in particular, leave heavy acid residues as does refined foods that I've touched on before.

If you say, I'm healthy; no worries and you experience the symptoms I've outlined; beware. You are playing Russian roulette with your system and trust me; it's not a game you want to continue to play. As Kenny Rogers says in a popular song of his, "ya gotta know when to fold em.'"

So, fold those old eating habits and deal yourself a new deck of health and healing!
