All food digested in our bodies metabolizes, or
burns, down to an ash residue.

This ash residue can be
neutral,
acidic, or
alkaline,
depending mostly on the mineral content
of the original food.

For example, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium,
zinc, silver, copper, and iron form
basic ash;
sulphur, phosphorus, chlorine, and
iodine leave
acid ash.

Most elements are alkaline.

Fortunately for us, it is easy to categorize
which foods leave which kind of ash.

In general,
animal foods -
meat, eggs, dairy - processed and refined foods,
yeast products, fermented foods, grains,
artificial sweeteners, fruit, and
sugars are
acidifying,

as are
alcohol, coffee, chocolate, black tea, and sodas.

Vegetables, on the other hand, are
alkalizing.

That includes a few that are
technically fruits:
avocado, tomato, and bell peppers.

A few non sweet citrus fruits are also basic in the body,
as are sprouted seeds, nuts, and grains.

Grains are acidifying,
though a few (millet, buckwheat, and spelt)
are only very mildly so.

Raw foods are more alkalizing,
while cooked food is more acidifying.

To maintain a balanced pH
in your blood and tissues,
your diet should consist of
at least 70 to 80 percent basic foods -
that is,
no more than 20 to 30 percent
acidifying foods (and at least half of that 70 to 80 percent should be raw)

The more alkaline your diet,
the more rapid your improvement will be.

Unlike the familiar "food pyramid,"
which has an overall acidic effect,
this program will bring you back to basic.

These food "ash" pH charts provide some insight
into which foods
are alkaline and
which are acid.

They have been broken down into
3 categories:
1. foods that you can eat freely,
2. foods that you can eat sparingly, and
3. foods you should never eat.

Each food is assigned a number
which represents it's approximate
relative potential of
acidity (-) or
alkalinity (+)
present in one ouce of food.

The higher the number,
the better it is for you to eat.

These charts come in handy when
trying to decide if
certain foods are bad to eat.

And remember,
some foods are listed on
the "Foods You Should Never Eat" chart
because they contain yeast -
the other thing we are trying to avoid.
