Tending Towards Acidity

Tending Toward Acidity or a High-Alkaline

Producer?

If you are like most of the American population,

you have a hard time bringing the high acidity of your lifestyle

and diet into balance to provide the slightly alkaline state your

body needs to reach its optimum performance. While this problem

can affect young children and young adults, it tends to become much

more of a concern once people enter their 40s and 50s, as the effects

of aging, stress, and environmental toxins accumulate.

If you tend toward acidity, it’s likely that you:

• Tire easily and are often fatigued,
• Have a hard time thinking clearly,
• Have a pessimistic outlook on

  life,

• Have digestive problems, such

  as heartburn, irritable colon, and Crohn’s disease,

• Are subject to frequent flu and

  colds,

• May have arthritis or allergies.

Your Best Diet

The typical American diet is composed of foods that are either highly

acidic, or that, once eaten, cause an acidic reaction within the

body. Therefore, if you are already an acidic person, it’s best

to avoid as many of these foods as possible, and try to get as many

alkaline-enhancing foods as possible. Overall you should Eat

Right for Your Body Type and follow The Alkaline Power Food

Plan and:

• Select more alkaline foods
• Use delicious and readily available

  substitutions for highly

  acidic foods

• Plan more alkaline

  meals

• Rotate foods for greater

  variety

• Stay away from highly acidic

  foods.

If you are a high-alkaline producer, you are the

exception to the rule. Just 6 to 8 percent of the population tends

to be high-alkaline producers. You tend to maintain excellent buffering

capability well into old age. You also tend to have excellent lung

capacity and digestive function, and large amounts of minerals in

your bones, contributing to a strong skeletal system.

You also:

• Can withstand the highly acidic

  standard American diet, environmental pollutants and level of

  physical and emotional stress most of us are subjected to every

  day.

• Require hard endurance exercise

  nearly every day to create lactic acid and burn off energy.

• Tend to gravitate to a personal

  and professional lifestyle filled with excitement and even danger.

• Rarely get ill, because you’re

  able to maintain the necessary alkaline pH for immunity, repair,

  digestive function and healthy metabolism.

• Remain independent and engaged

  in life well into your later years.
