how can I make my body less acidic. I know eating fruits and veggies but how much and what else?

Question

doctor does a saliva test each visit and Iit is always acidic.

Answer 1

I went to the internet an printed out a list of foods that were alkaline and acid. When I go shopping I try to by as much alkaline as possible.

You do not have to eat a total alkaline diet, you do need some acid in your system. It eat a 70% alkaline to 30% acid.

You should see you alkaline test at the doctors on a scale of 1 to 10 be around a 7 for a normal digestive system.

People use apple cider vinager with mothers to help add alkaline into thier diet as well. Lemons and Limes are good also. These two friuts enter you body as acid then breakdown to alkaline.

Good luck, It should not be that hard to do.

Answer 2

I have my own idea on this. It's just kinda something I observed. There are some people who seem to gain weight no matter what, and some people with excellent figures, who never work out AT ALL, and eat as much as anybody else. The weird thing is that this never suprised me in a way. It always seemed to me that people who never gain weight have a certain way about them. I'm sure they all have high metabolisms, but I'm not so sure personally that this is genetic. Maybe, it is these characteristics, that lead to a high metabolism. I think the simple idea, is that these people consistantly expend more energy then they consume, and while they make enjoy food, it is not primary to them. Eating is what they do when everything else is done. I think having high energy throughout the entire day is what leads to a high metabolism. I have friends about my height, who go to the gym often, and do such and such amounts of time of cardio, and then strength training, but can t lose their gut, or whatever else they may be looking too. But while they may work their ***'s off for an hour or two, they are sedentary throughout most of the day. I very rarely work out, and I have probably zero percent body fat. I use to work with someone, who would literally think I was out of my mind, for lifting things on my own, when if I waited a minute or two, I could have lifted it with 2 people. Like he really didn t understand, and really did think like there was something stupid about me or something. This same person, while trying to save himself strenuous work all day, would go to the gym every night, and pick up heavy pieces of metal, and prided himself on being a body builder. A body builder, who watches everything he eats, and would probably kill for my physique. My belief is this. If you have the furnace in your body burning all day, it will always consume everything you put into it, and turn it to energy. Turn the body on early in the day, and keep it on. This does not mean, you cannot rest. Once you get a quick metabolism, it just stays on, cause your body knows it is what you ask of it. This is my theory any way. Don't ask the body's permission throughout the day. Be it's master.. Make it your tool, and there is great wisdom, in the idea " Eat to live; Don't live to eat.

I am responding to OPUS you are not right to say that you can not change your body to alkaline from acidic maybe you should take a simple nutrition course to find out the true facts i know because i have done this recently. My body was so acidic that when i took the acidic test it didnt even change color like it should have now i am right where i should be. So to answer that question download a list from the internet and try drinking lots of lemon juice straight about one litre in an hour on an empty stomach it tastes horrible but works trust me.

Answer 4

Consuming animal products decreases pH (causes you to become more acidic), or so I've read. So eat your fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, and nuts. Sharply reduce animal products and see if that helps.

Answer 5

Eat chlorella S, its a kind of aglae & its akaline food. U can purchase it at watsons. Any veggies that r cooked r all acidic, so eat raw veggies (eg.salad) for alkalinity. Im on a company's product for chlorella myself. When we are born our body r actually alkaline. Its good to intake akaline food especially for those who had alot of seafood (like myself).

Answer 6

LOL !!!!
You CANNOT change your body's pH. Your physiology is designed to keep your body at pH 7.4 and anything you do to try to change that will either make you very sick, or will be quickly corrected. "Alkaline" and "acid" foods, breathing through your nose, all these are just nonsense and fantasies. They WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. Take a course in human physiology and learn some real facts about how your body works. You will soon understand why this whole notion is ridiculous.

To answer mynx: Who performed this "acidic test"? How was it done? Why do you think it is reliable? What do you THINK it is measuring?
I can assure you, with 100% certainty, it does NOT measure the pH of your body!! To repeat: YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR BODY'S pH !!

Answer 7

milk, veggies, seeded fruits, fiber breads, drink more water. be careful. women need to be more acidic than men because it helps fight yeast and fungal bugs in the uteran and urinary tracts. too basic and you'll start growing funky things. you should go have a pee test done so they can check your ph level before you do anything to make sure it is out of whack.

Answer 8

Breathe only through your nose. Breathing through your mouth leads to overbreathing which lowers the amount of carbon dioxide in your body and causes you to be acidic. This is based on the Buteyko breathing technique.
