Alkalize For Health

How alkaline your blood is, is an easy way to measure the level of your health. A healthy person has a blood pH of 7.365. Generally, a person who is terminal ill has a pH of around 5 or lower. What Are Alkaline, Acid, And PH? Alkaline foods are foods that raise the amount of oxygen that your blood takes in. The most alkalizing foods are RAW green leafy vegetables, non-sweet fruits, and (wheat) grasses. The opposite of alkaline foods is acid foods. How much oxygen your blood can absorb is measured on a pH scale that ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 0 is most acidic while a pH of 14 is most alkaline. The majority of the foods you eat are (highly) acidic. These make you sick and tired. By eating raw alkaline foods and drinks, you can help your body to heal itself from many chronic diseases.

As a general rule, the following food groups are alkalizing

•Green leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach)

•Fresh herbs (e.g.  cilantro, basil, garlic)

•Grasses (e.g. wheat, barley grass)

•Sprouts
