subject: The Holistic Method Of Lowering Acidity [print this page]


There are many who suffer from hyperacidityThere are many who suffer from hyperacidity. The causes are many. Too much

intake of acidic foods and stress. There is an emotional center in the brain

which stimulates the oxintic cells in the stomach to secrete Hydrochloric

acid. So tension and stress are some of the main factors.

The ratio of Alkalinity and Acidity in the body physiologic is 80:20 and

when the ratio of acidity is more than 20%, we have the condition of

Hyperacidity. Hyperacidity may lead to ulcer and it is time we reduced this

threat of ulceration.

It is time we adopted some prophylactic measures to combat this threat.

Hyperacidity intially manifests as gas trouble. Antacid tablets can give

temporary relief to gas trouble, but then the entire disease can only be

overcome if the body is made more alkaline. Increase the alkalinity of the

body by taking in alkaline foods. Optimum health is in an alkaline body.

The virus H Pylori thrives in acidic environment. So the first step is

reducing acidity in the treatment of ulceration.

If we alter our food habits, we can get relief from hyperacidity. Prevention

is better than cure. The body needs both acidic and alkaline foods and we

should be careful to preserve the 80% alkalinity and 20% acidity of the

body.

The acidity of blood should be 7 Ph ( Potential of Hydrogen ). Overacidity

affects the body's systems. adversely. Alkaline reserves are there in the

body physiologic and during the condition of hyperacidity, these alkaline

reserves will be stolen. This will weaken the body, as reserves of sodium,

calcium, magnesium, potassium will be depleted. If this process continues

for a long time, our organs will be considerably affected.

So, in order to maintain the 80-20 Alkalinity Acidity balance, we give below

a list of acidic and alkaline foods. Pls incorporate more alkaline foods for

optimum health. Knowledge is prophylactic and is Power ( Scientia est

Potentia ).

Without Health, even Wealth and Wisdom become zero !

Foods which reduce Acidity

Vegetables like garlic, beet root, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower,

melon, brinjal, mushrooms, onions, pumpkin, spinach, radish etc are food

that will reduce hyperacidity.

Fruits like mangoes, papaya, apricot, butterfuruit, dates, cherry, grapes,

orange, lime, pineapple, tomato, pumpkins, berries, almond.

Herbal tea, green tea, cardamom, ginger, coconut, lime juice etc. The citric

acid present in lime leaves an alkaline ash. Lime is full of vitamins and

minerals. Two glasses of Lime juice, along with 12 glass of water intake, is

ideal.

Foods which foster Acidity

Sunflower oil, barley, corn, beans, potatoes, bread, chicken, cakes, coffee,

eggs, mutton, green peas, soya bean, rice food, fish, sugar, tea, milk,

beef, pork, tuna, groundnut, alcoholic beer, wine, soft drinks, noodles,

neutrasweet etc.

In vegetables, organic acids along with sodium and potassium will be more.

These element increase the alkalinity of the blood. Sodium, potassium,

magnesium and calcium will increase alkalinity while Sulphur, phosphorus and

chlorine will foster acidity.
