A Fresh Squeeze to Start Your Day

You may have come across the term “Alkalising” recently and more over, you’ve had Iced Lemon for years and wonder why it’s such a popular thirst quencher. Recent drive to alkalize our diets has put me in touch with my food on a more intimate level. There are pages and pages of information on the web on the the subject of food groups and their pH levels but I use this one. The human body is very acidic for a simple reason-if you look at the chart you can easily understand the large selection of food we eat are acidic. Too much acid and the body’s organ goes into overdrive in an attempt to maintain a balanced pH levels. Rather than depending on the body, we can do our bit by switching to alkaline foods. Let me just say this .. a balanced diet is not a matter of following this chat (if only life were this easy!). The food equation is so complex that most of what we hear and learn barely scratch the surface of what is possibly mind boggling. Take Olive Oil for instance, chart says it’s Acidifying yet research shows the health benefits from the Extra Virgin variety. Like anything in life, do your due diligence before make a decision that could threaten your life.
