How acidic foods affect the body?

Read already? Yes, that's right.
So, how to correct high acid pH with high alkali foods?

Maintaining the correct pH balance in your body is very important to overall health. If your body's pH is highly acidic most of the time, you can increase your risk for a variety of diseases. A pH balance of 0 to 6 is acid, a pH balance of 7 is neutral, and a pH balance of 8 to 14 is alkaline. If you have been eating a lot of acidic foods, you can adjust the balance by learning how to correct high acid pH with high alkali foods.

Steps

1.Use a pH testing strip to test your pH balance. You can either test your urine or saliva. Test 60 minutes before eating a meal and 2 hours after eating. This will give you the best range of pH. Test twice a week.

• Testing the pH of your urine will show how well your body is able to remove acids and maintain optimal amounts of minerals that protect the body from becoming too acidic. The "buffer minerals" include sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. If you are acidic, then your body is not doing a good job at using the minerals to protect against the acid, because there is too much acid in your body. For a healthy range, your urine pH should be between 6.0 and 6.5 when you test in the morning, and between 6.5 and 7.0 when you test in the evening.
• Testing the pH of your saliva will help show digestive enzyme activity in the body. For a healthy range, your saliva pH should remain between 6.5 and 7.5 all day.

2.Eat a variety of alkaline foods. This might include green juice, vegetable juice, fruit juice, garlic, berries, oranges, bananas, kale, pumpkins, squash, peas, green tea, and most other fruits and vegetables. These foods may help reduce the acid in your bloodstream and should be a major part of correcting pH balance with food.

3. Change your diet. Eat more alkaline foods and less acidic foods. Acidic foods may include meat (animal protein), dairy, wheat, rice, and cranberries.

4. Check your medications, as certain medications can cause your pH balance to be acidic. If you are not sure, speak to your doctor. If the medication is necessary and you cannot avoid it, you may help combat the acidic pH by eating alkaline foods.

5. Monitor your stress level, as stress can be a cause of acidic pH balance. If you made dietary changes and included less acidic foods in your diet and still notice a high acid pH balance, stress could be the culprit. Utilize stress reduction techniques to help reduce acidity.

Do you know?

• The amount of acid in a food does not reflect how it will impact the acidity of your blood. For example, highly acidic lemon actually helps the bloodstream become more alkaline.
• Most people benefit from eating a diet comprised of 75% alkaline foods and 25% acidic foods.

How to reach your goals

ECP THERAPY? Yes, heart surgery is not your only option!

What is ECP ?

ECP therapy is a safe, non-invasive, outpatient treatment option for people suffering from ischemic heart diseases such as angina and with either systolic or diastolic heart failure. ECP® has helped hundreds of thousands of patients around the world. Clinical studies show over 75% of patients benefit from ECP Therapy with sustained improvement up to three years post-treatment. While an individual is undergoing ECP, pneumatic cuffs are applied on the legs and are connected to a computer that monitors the heart rate and rhythm. The cuffs are timed to inflate and deflate based on the individual’s electrocardiogram. The cuffs inflate at the beginning of diastole and deflate at the beginning of systole. Since it increases pressure in the aorta while the heart is relaxing (during diastole) ECP increases blood flow into the coronary arteries, which serves to mechanically open up semi-blocked coronary arteries

ECP THERAPY ADVANTAGES

• Increase Cardiac Output 
• Improve Ventricular Function 
• Increase Coronary Perfusion Pressure 
• Improve Oxygen Consumption (VO2) 
• Increases Circulation u Recruits and Develops New Collaterals 
• Retrograde Arterial Flow Increases Endothelial Function 
• Reduces Circulating Inflammatory Markers and Arterial Stiffness 
• Cardiac Remodeling 
• Decrease Workload on Your Heart 
• Reduces High Blood Pressure 
• Reduce Leg Pain and Shortness of Breath 
• Reduce Symptoms Angina and Ischemic Heart Disease 
• Regression of Atherosclerosis

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM ECP? 

Those who suffer:

• Chronic stable angina 
• Not keen to go for bypass surgery 
• Poor circulation 
• Prevention not to get blockage because of diabetes 
• Coronary atherosclerosis 
• Diabetes 
• Renal failure
• Pulmonary disease 

Here’s the Million Dollar Question 

Is surgery my only option? 

Dr. John Kirklin, a heart surgeon at Mayo Clinic, USA, has this to say: 

“Surgery is always second best. If you can do something else, it’s better.” 

Here at Spectrum of Life (SOL) , you do have an option to do something else for your aching heart and circulatory system: the External Counter Pulsation (ECP) therapy. 

For starters, ECP is truly non- invasive — 100% no needles and pricking.

ECP Therapy + Clinical Hypnotherapy = Better quality of life
Stress management techniques could reduce deaths and disability from heart attacks according to BBC News. At Spectrum of Life (SOL) Proactive Healthcare Centre, our clinical hypnotherapy service + ECP therapy will help you improve the quality of your life. Free consultation is still available, come to SOL and talk with me (Mr.Koo) now.
