			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #800080;">The Best Way to Test Your PH</span></h3>
<p><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/ph-test-strips.png" alt="Ph test strips" align="right" />Achieving a proper pH balance is essential for optimal health; and naturally your body’s pH level should be slightly alkaline. As we grow older, our bodies become less efficient in fighting off high levels of acid in the body, thereby increasing the risk of health disorders.<br />
There are numerous benefits in following an alkaline diet and this includes:</p>
<p>• Normal blood sugar levels;<br />
• Proper cholesterol levels;<br />
• Healthy cardiovascular system;<br />
• Normal energy levels; and<br />
• Strong bones and teeth.</p>
<p>Convenient <strong>pH test strips</strong> are available; which helps us to determine when our bodies are too acidic. It is easy to use and can be done in the comfort of your own home, without the presence of a physician. Ideally, your body’s pH level should be around 7.2 and if it you test less than 7.0, it means that your body is too acidic.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #800080;">Measuring your pH Levels with pH Test Strips</span></h4>
<p>You can use pH test strips to test your alkaline levels of your body. By using litmus paper, you can match the color outcome to a handy chart that makes it easy to determine what level your pH is at.</p>
<p>Whether you are testing your urine or saliva pH, all the measurements should ideally be done early in the morning, before you have eaten anything, or even brushed your teeth. Saliva testing is said to be slightly more accurate than urine testing, since urine pH can fluctuate during the day, depending on what you have eaten.</p>
<p>Although urine testing is more accurate first thing in the morning, to get an even better result you should wait until your second urine, prior to eating or drinking anything. Your blood sugar levels usually rise while you are asleep and the first urine of the morning will be more acidic. After this, the levels will begin to stabilize. If your pH is too high, you need to incorporate alkaline foods into your daily dietary routine to help stabilize your body’s pH levels.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #800080;">Follow an Effective Alkaline Diet</span></h4>
<p>The best way to counteract the effects of an acidic pH level in the body is by adjusting your diet. Include alkaline foods that will reduce your acid levels and help you to retain a normal pH balance. If your body is too acidic, you may encounter health problems and also be susceptible to diseases and even cancers. Here is a basic outline of the foods you should be focusing on:</p>
<p>• Protein – Concentrate on organic sources such as eggs, nuts, fish and avocados.<br />
• Beverages – Herbal teas and lemonade. You may add stevia to sweeten.<br />
• Nuts and Seeds – Almonds and hazelnuts are great choices here.<br />
• Fruit – Grapes, papayas, kiwis, figs and dates.<br />
• Vegetables – Juice your veggies, and focus on spinach, broccoli and leafy greens.</p>
<p>By using <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/alkaline-food-products">SevenPoint2&#8242;s Products</a> and incorporating low GI foods into your diet, you will be reducing your acidity levels and make your body more alkaline. You will have more energy, actively fight off diseases and even lose weight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Why Alkalize Your Beverages?</span></h4>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/alkaline-drops.png" alt="alkaline drops" align="right" />Mention the word “beverage” and images of soft drinks, coffee, tea, and juices pop out into the mind of an average person. We seldom think whether these beverages are good for the body or not, we just think about the temporary feelings of satisfaction that they bring to us.</p>
<p>Before we talk about <strong>alkaline drops</strong> an their benefits, ask yourself the following two questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>What are the typical characteristics of a healthy beverage?</li>
<li>How can you make the beverages that you love the most, healthy?</li>
</ul>
<p>We usually measure the beneficial effects of a beverage by calculating its vitamin, mineral, and calorie content, however, a beverage can also be considered healthy or beneficial to the body if it is alkaline and not acidic. According to this criterion most of the beverages we drink today are unhealthy because they are acidic in nature. An option in the form of alkaline drops has just been brought to market that helps alkalize any acidic beverage.</p>
<p>It is a known fact that our body’s normal pH is slightly alkaline between 7.2 and 7.4, and disease or illness cannot exist in an alkaline environment. Some researchers suggest that different parts of the body may have slightly different pH levels but that is natural. Maintaining the right pH of your body between 7.2 and 7.4 will save you the trouble of having cancer, headaches, kidney problems, diabetes, digestive system problems, fatigue, and weight gain.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">7.2 Coffee Drops – A Breakthrough Alkaline Drop Product</span></h4>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/sevenpoint2_coffee_drops_sm.png" alt="alkaline drop" align="left" />An easy way to make your beverage alkaline is to add 7.2 Coffee &amp; Alkaline Drops to it, which is now available in the market. 7.2 coffee drops are not just for coffee; it can be used to alkalize all types of beverages.</p>
<p>It is very simple to use, just add it in your beverage and let it diffuse for a couple of minutes, and you have a healthy alkaline beverage.</p>
<p><strong>The numerous benefits of adding 7.2 coffee drops in beverages are listed below:</strong></p>
<p>• These alkaline drops give the beverage a negative ORP (oxidative reduction potential) – Oxidative Reduction Potential is a measurement of a substance’s ability to oxidize. In this case, the drop gives the beverage characteristics of an antioxidant. Antioxidants combat the free radicals that are produced by our body whenever we use oxygen. These free radicals, if left unchecked may lead to heart problems, diabetes, or even cancer.</p>
<p>• The proprietary alkaline drops also micro-cluster the water – Water molecule is composed of single oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. However, the water we drink is not composed of separate molecules but the molecules are clustered. A water cluster is composed of up to twelve molecules. Breaking the cluster into small groups – e.g. five molecules per cluster &#8211; makes our water more absorbable thus giving more hydrating capacity and permeability.</p>
<p>• SevenPoint2&#8242;s alkaline drops help release hydrogen ions – Hydrogen ions make us feel energized, and they also have antioxidant property. Furthermore, hydrogen ions maintain the right pH in the blood and inside our cells. Hydrogen ions also help our cells to function and communicate properly by regulating the electrical balance inside our body. Another action of hydrogen ions is in helping the cells to remove waste materials and bring in the much-needed nutrients. The addition of SevenPoint2&#8242;s coffee &amp; alkaline drops in your beverage will help make it hydrogen-rich.</p>
<p>I addition to the benefits listed above, the drops also have anti inflammatory effects on the body. Therefore, why drink unhealthy beverage when you do have an opportunity to make it healthy? Try Sevenpoint2&#8242; Coffee &amp; Alkaline Drops today – it lets you indulge in your favorite beverage and takes care of your health at the same time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">2 Steps to Relieving the Symptoms of Asian Alcohol Allergy</span></h4>
<p><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/asian-alcohol-allergy.png" alt="asian alcohol allergy" align="left" style="margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" />Asian Flush, also known as Asian Glow, is an <strong>asian alcohol allergy</strong> in which the face experiences red flushes due to an accumulation of acetaldehyde, which is normally responsible for the metabolism of alcohol. As a result, the blood capillaries in the face, neck and shoulder area dilate, and the “red flush” appears. </p>
<p>Researchers suggest that by reducing the body’s acidity levels caused by excessive alcohol, you can counteract the symptoms of the Asian Flush allergy. This This condition is very common in the Asian culture and the ability to reduce the acidity levels in the body can bring relief to many individuals.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Step 1: Eat Alkaline Foods</span></h4>
<p><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/alkaline-foods.png" alt="asian flush allergy" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" />By introducing alkaline foods and supplements into the diet, the body will become less acidic and will start to counter the effects of the Asian alcohol allergy. This is why it is important to stick to alkaline foods and use additional supplementation if you suffering from abnormal acid levels.</p>
<p>By following an alkaline diet, you will strengthen your body’s immune system and help it to fight off diseases and other medical problems. Alkaline foods also provide you with the necessary vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. If you suffer from the Asian Flush allergy, you need to reduce the acidity level in your body and allow it to return to a normal pH level. You can also use the glycemic index as a guideline to choose the appropriate foods to allow in your diet. As a rule, the higher the glycemic index of a certain food, the more it will be acidic to the body; so stick to low GI foods wherever possible.</p>
<p><strong>Tips to Remember with the Alkaline Diet:</strong></p>
<p>Eating alkaline foods will help your body to maintain normal blood pH and body pH levels, as well as protect you against health disorders such as the Asian alcohol allergy. Here are a few guidelines to follow:</p>
<ul>
<li>Juice your fruit and vegetables. This will allow you to get a concentrated dose of nutrients in your body and also consume your daily requirement for minerals and fiber.</li>
<li>Stick to low GI foods. As mentioned earlier, try to stick to low GI foods in order to keep your pH balance intact. The lower the GI score, the better.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/sidebar_spacer_5px.png" alt="" height="1px" /></p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Step 2: Use Alkaline Supplements</span></h4>
<p><a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/alkaline-food-products"><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/products_transparent.png" alt="asian flush cure" align="left" style="margin: 0px 15px 10px 0px;" /></a>If you regularly eat acidic meals or just had an acid forming drink such as a soft drink or a cup of coffee, supplement with <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/alkaline-food-products">SevenPoint2’s Alkaline Booster and Coffee Drops</a> to restore alkalinity in your body. Consume it within 30 minutes of your meal or drink.</p>
<p>If you are going to have an alcoholic drink, take 3-4 Alkaline Boosters 30 minutes beforehand and 30 minutes afterward to prevent the alcohol allergy from occurring. </p>
<p>Although we recommend complimenting Alkaline Boosters by consuming an alkaline diet, the Alkaline Boosters alone will prevent the Asian Flush Allergy from affecting you when consuming alcohol.</p>
<p>There you have it &#8211; an easy and healthy way to combat the symptoms of the Asian alcohol allergy. By simply reducing the acid levels in your body, you can help to restore your pH balance and reduce the effects of this alcohol related syndrome.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Normal blood pH levels are extremely important; and your body is constantly working to normalize your pH level and reduce its acidity.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/blood-ph.png" alt="blood ph" align="right" />Normal blood pH levels are extremely important; and your body is constantly working to normalize your pH level and reduce its acidity. If your blood’s pH levels fall below 7.35 you will be acidic, which is also referred to acidosis. If your blood pH levels fall below 7 you may even die as a result. Subsequently, when your pH levels rise above 7.45 you will become highly alkaline and this may have a variety of negative results as well.</p>
<p>The pH of blood is therefore very important and we need to constantly ensure that we follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to maintain normal blood pH levels. These levels can be assessed by getting a blood test done by your doctor.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #800080;">Testing Your Body’s pH Levels</span></h4>
<p>Your body pH differs slightly from your blood pH and you can assess it at home with a saliva or urine <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/ph-indicator-solution-color-and-range">pH indicator</a> test. This will give you an accurate indication of your body pH levels and you can then make dietary adjustments where necessary. When testing with saliva, try to fill your mouth with saliva and then swallow; to remove any acidic saliva that might be present in your mouth. When testing your urine, let some urine flow first before you start testing to give you a more accurate reading of your body’s pH levels.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/normal-blood-ph-levels.png" alt="normal blood ph levels" width="454" height="255" align="center" /></p>
<p>Regardless of the method you choose, it’s always a good idea to test 2 or 3 times during the day to get an accurate average reading. There might be differences in the results from normal blood Ph levels; and this is perfectly normal, as your body’s levels should be around 7.2 – 7.6 which is slightly alkaline.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #800080;">Explaining the Differences in the Results of Saliva and Urine</span></h4>
<p>Your saliva and urine readings will likely differ; and this is because firstly, your saliva is likely to contain acid forming bacteria at any time, and your urine is more of a reflection as to how your body is getting rid of the acidity within. This is why it is important to take various readings of both throughout the day to get a more accurate reading of your pH levels. In addition to testing your saliva/urine pH, it may be beneficial to also test for normal blood pH levels, which your physician or local hospital can administer.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #800080;">Following a Healthy Alkaline Diet</span></h4>
<p>In order to normalize your blood pH levels and body ph levels it is recommended that you consume alkaline foods; or a alkaline diet. Acid forming foods can cause serious harm to your body; especially if you continue with such an unhealthy diet. Not only will your energy levels drop, but your immune system will be less effective too; exposing you to all kinds of bacterial infections and diseases.</p>
<p>The typical modern day Western diet is very acidic and this is not healthy. Try to consume fresh fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds, soy milk products, healthy fats and fresh fruit juices. These will help to significantly lower the acidity within your blood and help your body become more healthy and alkaline.</p>
<p>There are various natural supplements that you can also use in conjunction with an alkaline diet. <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/alkaline-food-products">SevenPoint2’s Alkaline Booster</a> is a supplement that you can take approximately 30 minutes after ingesting an acid forming meal or drink. It will normalize your pH levels and reduce the acidity within your digestive system as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/ph-indicator.png" alt="ph indicator" align="right" />When it comes to testing a pH indicator range, we all use different methods. Whether you are testing your swimming pool, water or own saliva – pH levels are equally important in all walks of life.</p>
<p>The acid or alkaline level of any substance is very important; for example if the pH indicator color shows your swimming pool is too alkaline you need to adjust it; and if your body’s pH levels are too acidic you might be vulnerable to various bacteria infections.</p>
<p>This is why testing using a pH indicator solution is so important; and it should be done on a regular basis if possible.</p>
<p>You can test the pH of any solution by using pH test strips. Using these pH indicators is fairly easy; but there are a few guidelines that you should follow to get an accurate reading.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">How to Read pH Levels</span></h4>
<p>A pH indicator is a chemical substance that is added in small amounts to a solution, so that the pH of that solution can be determined. These pH indicators are basically a chemical detector for Hydrogen ions and they are usually very accurate. The pH indicator color will change depending on the reading, which will then establish if a solution is acidic or alkaline. Solutions with a pH value of less than 7 are considered to be acidic and solutions with a pH with more than 7 are considered to be alkaline.</p>
<p>In the cases of swimming pools or other water sources, a test kit is used to determine its pH levels. You will fill these cells with the swimming pool water and add various chemicals to each one to get a result. You will measure the color of the solution against a pH indicator range chart; which will then tell you if your pool water is too acidic, or too alkaline. Depending on the result, the chart will also indicate what you will need to add to your swimming pool water to correct the imbalance.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Your Body’s pH Levels</span></h4>
<p>Your body’s pH levels are very important; and a healthy reading would be around 7.2 or slightly greater. Lower than that will mean your pH level is acidic and higher will mean that you are more alkaline. If your pH levels are too acidic you will need to follow an alkaline diet to correct the problem. Foods that you can include in an alkaline diet will be fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds, fresh fruit juices, healthy fats and lots of water. You can also make use of acid <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/ph-neutralization-system">pH neutralization</a> supplements to help reduce the body’s acidity.</p>
<p>You can test your pH levels by either using your saliva or urine. Urine is said to be more accurate then saliva testing; but in order to get an accurate reading you should take multiple readings throughout the day to get a good average pH level. Testing your own pH levels is rather easy with the help of pH indicators or indicator strips, and will show you the whether you need to take steps towards alkalizing your body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/ph-neutralization-system.png" alt="ph neutralization system" align="right" />Our bodies are constantly battling with pH levels and our modern day Western diet is very acidic. This is also the reason why we are so susceptible to diseases and bacterial infections. Our normal pH levels should be around 7.2 or slightly greater and in many cases our bodies are far too acidic.</p>
<p>There are easy ways to correct your pH level, such as a healthy alkaline diet or by using a pH neutralization system that will help to neutralize the harmful acids that exist within our bodies.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">The Importance of an Alkaline Body</span></h4>
<p>Being healthy and having a balanced pH level will not only mean more energy and vitality; but it will also mean that our bodies will have an optimal immune system to fight off diseases and other infections. By removing harmful acids from our bodies, using a pH neutralization system, we can truly be healthier and feeling great.</p>
<p>A build-up of harmful acids in our bodies can cause a lot of problems. Not only will it have a severe impact on your energy levels and vitality, but it will also reduce your body’s ability to fight off diseases and bacterial infections. Regular pH neutralization within the body is very important and you should regularly test your pH levels to make sure you are on the right track.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/alkaline-food-products">SevenPoint2 Alkaline Booster</a> is a revolutionary pH neutralization system that supplements your body and reduce its acidity. It is a natural product that you can take within 30 minutes of ingesting an acid forming meal or drink. It works instantly to reduce your body’s acidity and is perfect for everyday use.

These are perfect example of healthy, natural products that work to reduce your body’s acidity and can be used in conjunction with an alkaline diet.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #800080;">How to Test Your pH Levels</span></h4>
<p>Before using a pH neutralization system, you should test your pH levels via your urine or your saliva. Both are good ways to get your pH level but urine is said to be more accurate. However, you should try and take several measurements throughout the day to get an accurate average pH level. Your pH levels can vary depending on the meals that you have consumed throughout the day so it’s best to get an accurate average of your body’s pH levels. You can test your pH levels by using test strips that you can purchase from most health stores or receive from SevenPoint2 when you become a Member.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/baking-soda-ph.png" alt="baking soda ph" align="right" />Before learning about <strong>baking soda pH </strong>levels and whether they raise or lower pH in the body, it is important understand the nature and structure of baking soda.</p>
<p>The chemical name of baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate or Sodium Hydrogen carbonate and its chemical formula is Na HCO3. This is a crystalline white solid. Generally baking soda is a salt in powder form. The taste of this chemical powder is salty and the natural mineral of this baking soda is Nahcolite. It has various names such as bread soda, bicarbonate of soda and cooking soda. In short it is names as bicarb and it is used widely. This baking soda is prepared by a process called Solvay process. The reaction of sodium chloride, carbon dioxide and ammonia in water results in the formation of baking soda.</p>
<p>The chemical equation is CO2 + 2 Na OH -&gt; Na2CO3 + H2O.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Does baking soda raise pH or lower pH?</span></h4>
<p>PH in chemistry is the name given for measuring the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. Pure water is supposed to be neutral. The solution which has a pH of less than 7 is known to be acidic whereas a solution which has a pH of more than 7 is known as alkaline. These pH measurements are valuable for biology, medicine, agriculture, food science, forestry, environmental science, civil engineering, oceanography and for various other things.</p>
<p>Baking soda ph is 8.2, i.e. alkaline. It is used for raising the pH value of an aqueous solution which is acidic. It is also used to raise the ph value, in turn increasing the alkaline nature of a solution. The pH of baking soda is often used to soften vegetables while cooking though some nutrients are lost in this type of cooking.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">What is Baking Soda Used For?</span></h4>
<p>In the body, baking soda is sometimes used to raise pH levels, when the body is in in an acidic state.</p>
<p>Because baking soda raises pH levels, it is often used as an antacid for treating acidity and heart burn, caused by eating non-alkaline foods. Chronic conditions of metabolic acidosis such as renal tubular acidosis and severe renal failure are counteracted by baking soda&#8217;s pH value, when it is taken in the oral form. Baking soda pH is also used for changing the acidic nature of urine to alkaline while treating for overdose of aspirin and uric acid renal stones. It is also one of the main ingredients in baby gripe water.</p>
<p>The high PH value of baking soda is helpful as a first aid for treating scalding to avoid scarring and blistering. It can be mixed with water to form a paste which is applied as an antiseptic to the scalded area before going for doctor’s treatment.</p>
<p>In cases of acidosis, or if there is insufficiency of bicarbonate or sodium ions in the blood, baking soda is given intravenously as an aqueous solution. Baking soda raises pH in cases of respiratory acidosis, therefore, baking soda is used for the treatment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation under medical supervision.</p>
<p>You may be surprised by the news that an oncologist in Rome, Italy, Dr. Tullio Simoncini is using baking soda or sodium bicarbonate for the destruction of cancer tumors. He is claiming that baking soda is safe, effective and less expensive. According to Dr. Simoncini, the pH of baking soda, naturally targets cancer cells, thereby working to destroy the cancer tumors.</p>
<p>It is important to note that there can be some adverse effects of consuming too much baking soda such as developing conditions like edema, hypertension and congestive heart failure, which occur due to excess sodium. Therefore it is advisable to moderate your consumption of baking soda soas to not make your body too alkaline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/non-alkaline-foods.png" alt="non alkaline foods" align="right" />Filling the majority of your diet with alkaline food is a big part of living a healthy lifestyle. Equally as important is avoiding <strong>non-alkaline foods</strong>.</p>
<p>A small portion of your diet, 20%, can come from these foods, however there are some you should just avoid altogether. These non-alkaline foods bring with them many complications beyond their acid-forming properties.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">High Fructose Corn Syrup</span></h4>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/high-fructose-corn-syrup.png" alt="high fructose corn syrup" align="left" />High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a very highly processed sweetener composed of mostly fructose and glucose. It is 5 to 15% higher in fructose than table sugar. This modest, but consequential increase makes a huge difference in our bodies. High fructose corn syrup has been shown in Princeton University laboratory studies to metabolize differently than regular sugar. <strong>This can result in:</strong></p>
<p>• an increase in triglycerides<br />
• an increase in the amount of stored body fat, especially in the abdominal area</p>
<p>High fructose corn syrup is the only non-alkaline food sweetener added to soft drinks in the United States. It is also used in many other processed foods. Since the increase in its’ use there has been a dramatic rise in weight gain and obesity.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Sugar</span><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/sugars.png" alt="sugars" align="right" /></h4>
<p>Refined sugar, another non-alkaline food, is also very highly processed and offers no nutrient value. In addition to forming acid in the body, the consumption of sugar is responsible for contributing to weight gain, poor immune function, and the increased incidence of diabetes and heart disease.</p>
<p>Another Princeton University laboratory study showed the addictive properties associated with the consumption of sugar. Sugar was given intermittently over a period of time and then withdrawn for a period of time. The subsequent brain activity and behavior showed signs of cravings and withdrawal associated with addiction.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Dairy</span></h4>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/dairy.png" alt="dairy" align="left" />Diary is another non-alkaline food that should be avoided. Dairy products contain the sugar lactose which is a problem for many people. The ability to digest this sugar may be lost as we mature.</p>
<p>This leads to a condition known as lactose-intolerance which results in gas and bloating along with many other symptoms of gastrointestinal distress.</p>
<p>In addition to lactose-intolerance and being a non-alkaline food, the consumption of dairy products comes with other issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Milk is classified as one of the top 8 allergens. Allergen sufferers react to one or both of the two major proteins found in milk; whey and casein. Casein has also been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells.</li>
<li>Increased risk of osteoporosis – The body buffers acidity by leaching calcium from the bones.</li>
<li>Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1), a hormone found naturally in cows, causes cell replication, including cancer cells.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that this these are only a few of the acidic foods to avoid. <a href="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com">Download our alkaline diet guide from our home page</a> for a full list of alkaline and non-alkaline foods. So now that you know some of the foods to avoid, here are some of the best alkaline foods to eat:</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Alkalizing Foods</span></h4>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;" src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/alkaline-forming-foods.png" alt="alkalizing foods" align="right" />For every serving of these non-alkaline foods we consume, we consume one less serving of alkaline-forming foods. Alkalizing foods made up of certain fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and healthy fats are beneficial in helping to protect us against many chronic diseases including osteoporosis, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Why Consume Alkaline Fruit?</span></h4>
<p><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/alkaline-fruit.png" alt="alkaline fruit" align="right" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;"/>The alkaline diet is a diet which gives emphasis on taking <strong>alkaline fruits</strong> and vegetables and reducing intake of meat, salt, dairy and other acidic foods. Some experts say most of our illnesses come from eating too much acidic food instead of alkaline. It is advisable to reduce our acidic food intake to just 20% of our total food intake and the remaining 80% should be alkaline food in the form of alkaline fruits and vegetables. The sooner we start this diet, the better it is for our body.</p>
<p>Our body’s normal pH is slightly alkaline, 7.2-7.6. Maintaining the body’s pH at this value is beneficial in many ways including prevention of illness and increased life span.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few of the advantages of consuming alkaline fruits and vegetables:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It increases our energy</li>
<li>It reduces anxiety and irritability</li>
<li>It prevents the formation of kidney stones</li>
<li>It prevents nasal congestion</li>
<li>It increases the immune system</li>
<li>It helps prevent degeneration and disease</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://www.alkalinephdiet.com/images/sidebar_spacer_5px.png" alt="" height="1px" /></p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Are there any fruits that are alkaline?</span></h4>
<p>Some people hate the word diet. For them, it means eating bland tasting food. Luckily having an alkaline diet can be just the opposite of that. There are many fruits that are alkaline which can be eaten raw. Listed below are some alkaline fruits that we can easily find in the supermarket.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Apple</span></h4>
<p>Apple is not only an alkaline fruit but also contains lots of fiber and vitamin C. Fiber and Vitamin C are helpful in cleansing our body from within and boosts our immune system. Just, a reminder &#8211; it is best to eat the apple unpeeled to gain maximum benefits.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Lemons</span></h4>
<p>You might say, “hey that’s acidic.&#8221; True, lemons are acidic but that is just half the story. They have an alkaline effect when they reach our digestive system. Furthermore, it also gives you a high dose of vitamin C, a bit of vitamin B complex and dietary fiber.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Grapes</span></h4>
<p>This alkaline fruit has been cultivated for thousands of years because of its nutritional value. It is best to eat the grapes in its fresh form. Although raisins are also good, it is not as beneficial as as eating fresh grape. Another benefit of grapes – aside from having alkalizing effect – it contains resveratrol, a phytochemical that can inhibit Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Who would have thought that this small package would have a big impact?</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Banana</span></h4>
<p>Banana contains vitamin B6, vitamin C and is also an excellent source of potassium. People who want to have an alkaline fruit and at the same time are frequently experiencing cramps should consume more of this fruit. Bananas are also said to reduce the risk of colorectal and breast cancer.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Peaches</span></h4>
<p>For the beauty conscious out there, it is an excellent alkaline fruit to include in your diet. It helps your skin and hair glow. It also improves the strength of your nails. So if you are suffering from brittle nails, you may give this one a try.</p>
<h4 class="cufon"><span style="color: #800080;">Figs</span></h4>
<p>Figs top the list of all alkaline fruits. Both fresh and dry figs have alkaline properties and can be eaten raw.</p>
<p>There you have it – the common alkaline fruits that can easily be bought in the local supermarket. Nowadays, there are also food supplements that can help us maintain our alkaline levels.
