Keeping
your body at a healthy ph level is important to everyone's general health, but
is of utmost importance to cancer patients.
The
body needs to be kept in a state of alkaline, as a whole host of health
problems can occur if the body becomes too acidic. Many of the foods we eat can
upset the ph balance of our bodies, and we should try to stick to foods that
will keep the body on the right side of the ph scale.
Raw
Food Health noted “The human body goes to great lengths to maintain a slightly
alkaline PH of 7.35, but poor diet and stress can change the PH to an acidic
one in which disease can thrive.”
Because
so much of the food consumed by the world on a daily basis is heavily
processed, the body is often in an acidic state, damaging one's health and
gently raising the risk of cancer and other illnesses.
Ready
meals, fast food, food packed with additives and chemicals all contribute to
the acidic environment in the body.
In order to restore and maintain a healthy alkaline
environment in the body, here is some useful information on the foods to
include in your diet to restore the health ph balance.
— Your alkaline diet should be primarily
based on organic leafy green vegetables, cauliflower and cabbages, broccoli,
herbs and spices, root vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds, lentils and peas,
onions, garlic, leek and chives, and non-gluten grains such as rice in small
amounts.
— Also, you can consume as much fruits and
vegetables as you want, and 2-4 ounces of grass-fed meat, organic poultry or
clean fish, a few times a week.
— Avoid sugar, as cancer cells use more
glucose per unit of time than healthy cells. Also, sugar reduces the magnesium content in the
body and thus supports cancer. “Natural”
sugars like agave and honey should also be eliminated from your diet. Instead,
you can consume unsweetened apple sauce, figs, dried apricots, or fresh
pineapple.
— Prof. (Emeritus) T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.,
Cornell University Cow, conducted a study which found that dairy is one of the
most cancer-causing foods since it contains casein protein.
Hence,
dairy products should be avoided in the case of cancer, as due to the high acid
production, they may cause inflammation, bone deterioration, and support cancer
proliferation.
— Avoid glutinous grains as gluten causes
inflammation. You should not consume high-gluten grains such as rye, whole
grains, wheat, and pasta, bread, cereals, cookies, cakes, muffins, crackers,
and other baked goods.
You
should replace them with non-gluten grains such as quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth. Additionally,
eliminate “gluten free” prepared products, since they have added sugar or
processed oils
