Acid/Alkaline balance

[Guest guest]

There was conversions going on about acidity awhile back within the

group i have just read something interesting in Dr Gillian Mckeith's

book Living Food for Health.

It may be old info to some of you i dont't know

An acid body means that there is an excess of hydrogen ions which

combine with oxygen to form water. This excess hydrogen depletes the

body's oxygen. Simple stated, a shortage of oxygen causes cells to

break down and die, creating acidosis. The more acidic the system,

the less the biochemical buffers are able to maintain the blood's

healthy acid-alkaline balance. A more serious consequence of acidity

is that it causes calcium to be mobilised out of your bones through

urine; such conditions create a fertile ground for conditions like

osteoporosis, and bone degeneration. Excess acid may also get

deposited in cell tissues, eventually causing arthritis. Live

sprouts, especially sprouted millet, are alkalisers; they mop up

acid. She says, When I prescribe patients the spouted millet and

sprouted quinoa together, the acid neutralises; it appears that when

these two specific sprouts, millet and quinoa, are ingested together,

there is an exceptionally powerful alkalising action.

She says test yourself using Nitrazine paper bought from pharmacy,and

then again after eating sprouts(sprouted grains) on regular basis to

see the difference.

Those of us that don't sprout grains including myself maybe should

think about doing it!!
