pH Levels And Your Health  

I'm happy that you have interest in knowing about new advents as far
as health and welfare go. The original scientific research on
acid-yielding and alkaline-yielding foods dates back to 1914.

You can get vast information if you "google" the phrase "alkaline vs acidic".

Thanks for commenting :-)

Hi hornswaggle
Very important addition. Yes, food is very important. By consuming a diet
that is 70-80% alkaline and 20-30-% acid we can remain in health.
The alkaline water I use contains calcium, magnesium and over 70 trace
minerals. This is all I take and thank God I didn't catch my granddaughter's
swine flu. I don't eat red meat, fried or fatty foods. My diet consists of
sprouts breads, rice cheese, vegenaise from grapeseed oil, brown and wild rice, olive oil, coconut milk and soy milk, some salmon or cod fish and lot of almonds.
I will now start a new way of eating based on the living food lifestyle by
Ann Wigmore. Her booklet "rebuild your health with high energy enzyme nourishment"gives instructions on how to grow sprouts, wheatgrass and greens and how to start the living foods lifestyle. Ann wigmore healed herself from cancer.

Here is a list of alkaline foods for everyone benefit.
Root vegetables: Beet +11.3, Carrot +9.5, Red Radish +16.7, Summer Black Radish +39.4, turnip +8.0
Fruits: Avocado (protein) +16.6, Fresh Lemon +9.9,
Grains: white beans (navy beans) +12.1, Soy Lecithin (pure)+38.0, Lima Beans +12.0
Seeds: Wheat Kernel +11.4, Pumpkin Seeds +5.6, Sunflower Seeds +5.4
Fats: Evening Primrose Oil +4.1, Borage Oil +3.2, Marine lipids +4.7, Flaxseed Oil
+3.5, Olive Oil +1.0.

Thanks a lot for your comment :-)

I've never heard of the summer black radish. Can a person grow it in zone 5 do you think?

Hi hornswaggled (1943)

Check this link for information on radish.

Thanks for the info....they look delicious don't they?
I would love to grow them...I'll have to take a look at my seed catalog and see what I can do to get them.

Hi NoirAngelique
That is a very good inversion. I wanted to have one but I couldn't
afford it.
I decided the sachets to turn the water alkaline which contain calcium, magnesium and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily by your body. And the best thing is that they are affordable.
The good thing with your product is that you can turn the water acidic and use
it for cleaning and disinfect. Also you can turn it to use it as astringent for your skin. I keep my hope in getting one some day;-)

I got mine from Blawell. They are much cheaper than like a Kangen or Jupiter machine. They may have slightly lower water pressure, but I compared all three and a few others and this was definitely the best value for the money and comparable for gpm. Check it out, you might be surprised. I got mine when the little catchup check came from disability, it was only for a few months, so this was my top priority. Might be key to restoring my health! I looked into the packets but I somehow missed the fact they would ionize the water. I was all about breaking up the molecules. ;D

HI jerimiyah

There is a misunderstanding about what an acidic is,
What matters is not whether a food tests acidic in
a lab -- it's whether or not it's acidic to your body.
Lemons, for example test very acidic in a lab but are
very alkalizing in the body.

People also mis-combine their food creating even more acid
in the body.
I found this website that has an alkaline vs acidic food chart.

It will help you combine your food so your ulcers can heal.
Remember our meals should be 80% alkaline and 20% acidic to
keep a balance. Also alkaline water will to keep our
cells hydrated.

That's because the water clusters for Alkaline Ionized water are smaller. This allows the water to penetrate the cells better allowing for more efficient hydration.

Acid forming in your body

Butter
Cheese (all)
cottage cheese
cream
custard
margarine
Milk (boiled,cooked, malted, dried, canned)


Alkaline forming in your body

Acidophilus milk
buttermilk
yogurt
milk ( raw only -- human, cow, goat)
whey

Hi cianoy
I'm sorry to answer late, I have been busy lately and I haven't
checked my emails or visited myLot lately.
Today checking my emails I found my myLot email saying I had an
answer to my post.
Ok, the first thing you will notice when you are becoming alkaline
is that your body response to disease is amazing.
For example you go outside, it is cold and windy, your nose got a
little stuffy, you sneezed few times and you say "oh oh I will get
sick". You know what to do, you start drinking your alkaline water
for the rest of the day and all the symptoms disappear.
See? You will notice a strength in you immune system. Bacteria and
germs can't survive an alkaline environment.
You need to drink half your weight in water a day. For instance if
your weight is 160 pounds you need 80 ounces of alkaline water a day
which is four 20 ounces bottles of water a day. Maybe that's why
you haven't seen any difference.
The water I drink is 9.9 alkaline. I get the sachets that make the
water alkaline and I drop one in a bottle of water, shake it for
15 seconds and let it rest for 5 minutes and then drink it.
One sachet lasts for 4 bottles of water. It means that you drink
your first 20 ounces of water and refill the bottle 3 more times
always shaking it 15 seconds and letting it rest 5 minutes before
drinking it.
Check my profile. Under my picture there is a link that gets you
to the site with a lot of information on it.

Wow 9.9 is high. My water's 8.85. So far, no dramatic effects yet. I think I do drink a lot; at least 8 glasses a day. Half the body weight seems high though. I need like 85 pounds of water a day in that case.

You need to take half your body weight in ounces of water.
For instance if a person weights 150 pounds she/he needs
75 ounces of water a day. That is at least 4 bottles of
water a day where each bottle contains 20 ounces of water.

If you weight 160 pounds you need 80 ounces of water a day.
Which is 4 bottles of 20 ounces of water each.
One sachet will last for the 4 bottles of water a day.

You drink one bottle of water and leave the sache inside
the bottle and refill it. Do this 4 times.
Next day use a new sache and do the same.
Check this alkaline vs. acid charts to select alkaline foods.

Oh I got it. Sorry, I misread the post. I thought it was pound vs. pound in terms of body weight and water intake. Apparently it's pound vs. ounces.

That's right ;-)
