Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Since losing one of my jobs, I've not been able to purchase veggies to balance acid/alkalinity. Eating eggs and grains only. But still making kefir occasionally. Does anyone know if it's acidic or alkaline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to do fine. As long as your getting what your body needs and its not already too out of balance your body will be able to balance your pH without you giving it a second thought...Though I'm sure there are dietary supplements that could throw it off that we don't realize. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Lactic Acid from kefir is a weak acid. When ingested, reacts with minerals such as Calcium, Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium in the body tissue and blood, to form alkalies. This reaction is termed Alkaline-forming foods. It is the ash that remains after the food is digested and ready for assimilation into the body tissues. This is the process whereby acidic kefir will alkaline the body. Lemons and Kombucha tea react the same way. It is also a relative term as one that is severely deficient in Calcium, Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium and the kefir (or kombucha, lemon, etc) are exceedingly high in aciditic acids than this balance may change as well. Other factors suck as exercise, showers, and stress will also play a role in the pH of the body. The pH of one's body is not constant it changes to meet demands of the circumstances. Overall fermented foods are healthy and beneficial because of this change. Peace Ed Kasper LAc. & family www.HappyHerbalist.com ......................................... Re: To All: Kefir: acidic?
