You will get disease only when the body is acidic. This includes skin problems, infections, degenerative illnesses, excess weight gain etc. Eat lots of alkalizing foods to maintain a healthy alkaline ph level in the body. 70% alkalizing foods and 30% acidifying foods per day. For overweight or chronic illness of any kind the persons ratio is 80% alkalizing foods and 20% acidifying foods per day until they are well then it can go to 70% alkalizing foods and 30% acidifying foods per day to maintain health.

For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming. Where do we find good fats? There are four sources of good fats: 1. Green vegetables contain good fats, but in very small quantities. To get 2 tablespoons of good fats, a person would have to eat over 60 pounds of vegetables per day. That is impossible. 2. Seeds and nuts are richer sources of EFAs. But there is no seed or nut that gives an optimum ratio of n-3 to n-6 to keep us healthy in our present situation with food habits. Flax is the richest source of n-3, but a poor source of n-6. Sunflower and sesame seeds contain n-6 but no n-3. So we must mix and match these seeds to get both EFAs in the right quantities and ratio. 3. High fat, cold water fish such as sardines, salmon, trout, herring, and mackerel contain n-3 and n-6 derivatives. Eating fish is preferable to using fish oil capsules, due to contamination of fish oils with mercury, pesticides, and PCBs, and due to damage done to fish oils during processing. 4. Oils made with health in mind: pressed from organically grown seeds under protection of light, air, and heat; filtered and filled into dark glass bottles under the same protection; boxed to keep out all light; refrigerated during storage at the factory, in stores, and in the home; and used with care in food preparation (never used for frying, sautéing, or baking). Oils made with this much care are found in the refrigerator in health food stores. It is unusual to see such care taken in oil preparation, packaging, storage, and use. But this kind of care is necessary if EFA-rich oils are to retain their health benefits. |
