Miracles of an Alkalizing Diet

 

The human body is composed of various organs and parts, which are

made up of tissues and cells. These tissues and cells are composed

of 16 chemical elements.

The balance or equilibrium of these chemical elements in the body is

an essential factor in the maintenance of health and healing of

disease.

 

The acid-alkaline balance plays a vital role in this balanced body

chemistry. All foods, after digestion and absorption leave either an acid or

alkaline ash in the body depending on their mineral 'composition'.

 

The normal body chemistry is approximately 20 per cent acid and 80

per cent alkaline. This is the acid-alkaline balance.

 

In normal health, the reaction of the blood is alkaline and that is

essential for our physical and mental well-being.

 

The preponderence of alkalis in the blood is due to the fact that the

products of the vital combustions taking place in the body are mostly

acid in character.

 

Carbohydrates and fats form about nine-tenths of the normal fuel of

the body. In normal health, this great mass of material is converted into

carbon dioxide gas and water. Half of the remaining one-tenth fuel

is also con- verted into the same gas and water.

This huge amount of acid is transported by the blood to the various

points of discharge, mainly the lungs.

 

By virtue of alkalinity, the blood is able to transport the acid

from the tissues to the discharge points.

 

Acidosis-

Whenever the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, even slightly, its

ability to transport the carbon dioxide gets reduced. This results

in the accumulation of 'acid' in the tissues.

 

This condition is known as 'acidosis' or hypo-alkalinity of the blood.

Its symptoms are hunger, indigestion, burning sensation and pain in

the pharynx, nausea, vomiting, headache, various nervous disorders and

drowsiness.

 

Acidosis is the breeding ground for most diseases.

Nepthritis or Bright's disease, rheumatism, premature old age,

arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, skin disorders and

various degenerative diseases are traceable to this condition.

 

It seriously interferes with the functions of the glands and organs

of the body. It also lowers the vitality of the system, thereby increasing the

danger of infectious diseases.

 

The main cause of acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood is faulty

diet, in which too many acid forming foods have been consumed.

In the normal process of metabolism or converting the food into energy

by the body,. various acids are formed in the system and in

addition, other acids are introduced in food.

 

Whenever there is substantial increase in the formation of acids in

the system and these acids are not properly eliminated through the

lungs, the kidneys and the bowels ,

the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, resulting in acidosis.

 

Other causes of acidosis are depletion of alkali reserve due to

diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera etc.,

accumulation of carbon dioxide in asphyxia and anoxia as in circulatory

and pulmonary diseases and

accumulation of acetone bodies resulting from starvation, vomiting

and diabetes millitus.

 

Acidosis can be prevented by maintaining a proper ratio between acid

and alkaline foods in the diet.

Certain foods leave alkaline ash and help in maintaining the

alkalinity of the food, while others leave highly acid ash and lower

the alkali reserve of the blood and tissue fluids to a very large

extent.

 

Cereals of all kinds, including all sorts of breads are also

acid-forming foods, though much less so than meat.

 

All fruits, with exceptions like plums and prunes and all green and

root vegetables are highly alkaline foods and help to alkalinize the

blood and other tissue fluids.

 

Thus , our daily diet should consist of four-fifth of alkaline-

forming foods such as juicy fruits, tubers, legumes, ripe fruits, leafy

and root vegetables and one fifth of acid-forming foods containing

concentrated proteins and starches such as meat, refined breads and

refined cereals.

 

Eating sensibly in this manner will ensure the necessary alkalinity

of the food which will keep the body in perfect health.

 

Whenever a person has acidosis, the higher the ratio of alkaline

forming foods in his diet, the quicker will be the recovery.

Acids are neutralised by alkalies.

 

It is, therefore, imperative that persons suffering from various

ailments are given adequate alkaline ash foods to offset the effects

of acid-forming foods and leave a safe margin of alkalinity.

 

The most agreeable and convenient means of alkalizing the blood are

fresh organic fruits and fruit juices.

The alkalizing value of fruits are due to large percentage of

alkaline salts, mainly potash, which they contain.

 

Each pint of fresh fruit juice contains 12 grains of potassium, one of

the most potent of alkalis.Lemon juice contains nine grains of the

alkali to the pint and grape seven grains.

 

Diet in Disease

In the diet during disease, breakfast may consist of fresh fruits,

lunch may comprise raw vegetables with acid and sub-acid fruits, and

for dinner raw and cooked vegetables, or light starchy vegetables

like beet, carrot, cauliflower, egg-plant and squashes may be taken.

Sweet fruits may be added to this diet after seven days.

 

Foods are classified as acid-producing or alkaline-producing

depending on their reaction on the urine.

Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium present in foods contribute

to the alkaline effect, while sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine

contribute to the acidic effect.

 

Depending on the pre-dominating constituents in a particular food,

it is classified as acid-forming or alkaline-forming.

The effect of food stuffs upon the alkalinity of the blood depends

upon their residue which they leave behind after undergoing

oxidation in the body.

 

It is an error to presume that because a food tastes acid, it has an

acidic reaction in the blood.

For instance, fruits and vegetables have organic acids in

combination with soda and potash in the form of acid salts. When the

acids are burnt or utilised in the body, the alkaline soda or potash

is left behind.

 

Hence the effect of the natural fruit acids is to increase the

alkalinity of the blood rather than reduce it.

 

Based on the above observations, the following charts show the

common foods with acid and alkaline ash :
