Acid-Alkaline Forming Foods

Picture
Good health often means a body in balance between acidity and alkalinity, simply because being at one extreme or the other on the pH scale results in poor health. Choosing a balance of the right foods can be confusing, because, for example, lemons are acidic, but they create alkalinity in the body.
With thanks to www.phionbalance.com the following table may be used as a general guideline to determine what foods will create an acid or alkaline condition in the body. This is significantly different from whether a food tests acid or alkaline. For instance, lemons are acidic, but create an alkaline condition in the body. Opinions vary, but generally speaking you want a balance of about 60% alkaline and 40% acid in the body. More alkaline conditions may be required for weakened immune systems, or if combating cancer, as cancer cells cannot grow in an alkaline environment. 

Most importantly, notice how your gut responds to any given food and trust that.

    Goals

    Solutions to everyday stress involve identifying where we are emotionally unhappy and then taking action to correct or curb the circumstances involved. I love this kind of healing-based problem-solving and happily share for those seeking similar unique yet ubiquitous solutions. Consequently, the topics here may vary within health, lifestyle, and work/business.
