pH Balance – achieving a healthy acid/alkaline balance


Our blood must maintain a slightly alkaline state for our survival and many of our metabolic processes and enzyme reactions require this type of environment in order to function properly. The good news is that it is easy to correct improper pH balances by eating alkaline-forming foods. The bad news is that the American diet is mainly composed of foods that are highly acidic or turn highly acidic when digested.



Many acidic foods digest as alkaline in your body like citrus fruits so some research should be done. I recommend reading The Acid-Alkaline Diet and The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet.


Highly acidic foods: processed, sugary, fried, animal proteins and gluten

Highly alkaline foods: fruits, vegetables, seaweeds, almonds and cashews

Some quick ideas:
Take deep breaths
Use liquid amino acids instead of vinegar in salads
Use sea salt or eat more sea vegetables like dulse and kelp instead of table salt
Eat lots of green foods including alfalfa, chlorella and spirulina

It's fascinating how something as acidic as a lemon can have an alkalizing affect on the body.

Hi! My name is Rhonda and my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 a year ago. She has been following the pH Miracle and is not on any medication. We just love the raw foods and great alkaline foods. I check her pH throughtout the day. She drinks alkaline water and she has pHour salts twice a day. I do give her some supplements. Is there anyone out there who has reversed type 1 or knows of someone. While learning about disease I learned that disease cannot live in an alkaline enviroment.
