Acid and Alkaline – A Food Guide

The following table indicates which foods have an alkalizing effect on your
body and which foods have an acidifying effect on the body. For good health,
try to eat 80% of your food from the alkalysing list and 20% from the acidifying
list.

Don’t allow yourself to become obsessed. Try, 90% of the time, to eat for
health by eating from the foods on the left. A few slip ups will then be of little
consequence. Also remember to supplement your eating with things that are
extremely alkalysing like Celtic Sea Salt, Colloidal Minerals, Barley Grass
Powder, Chlorophyll, Seaweed products like Wakame and alkaline waters.

Start the day with a glass of warm water with the juice of a lemon in it. This
stimulates the pancreas to release bi carbonates into the blood, thus having a
powerful alkalysing effect.
