Balance Out Your Body's pH

The key is to improve the balance of the foods you are eating, to try and include more alkaline-forming foods at each meal, ideally 80 percent alkaline-forming and 20 percent acid-forming. To make this selection easier, I purchased an 80/20 Food Theory Chart from Pelago Productions. You can order your own copy by emailing them on pelago@ihug.co.nz. They cost $18.95 plus P&P for a laminated copy. This wonderfully informative chart will set you in the right direction. It lists most foods you can think of and whether they are acid or alkaline-forming. On the back is all the information you should need to learn about this concept. Remember, you will benefit from any change, so if it all sounds too daunting, just start by including more fresh fruit and raw vegetables at meals and work up from here.

There are a few natural products available that can help to make your body more alkaline. These include barley grass in juice, powder or capsules and chlorophyll from alfalfa. Taking a supplement containing these will help to make your body more alkaline. These can be taken on a daily basis, mixed in a smoothy or taken as a capsule. However, seek professional advice before self-prescribing.
