Most people who suffer from an imbalanced pH are acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals —including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralise) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity, a condition that may go undetected for years.
Grains are the seeds of grass-like plants called cereals. Some of the most common varieties are corn, rice, wheat, oat, barley, millet and rye.
Some seeds of non-grass plants or pseudo cereals are also considered whole grains and include buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth.
Fruits are an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, and they are high in fibre. Fruits also provide a wide range of health-boosting antioxidants, including flavonoids.
Different coloured fruits, especially orange, red and yellow fruit, contain carotenes (Vitamin A) which are also thought to assist in immune function.
Vegetables includes leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, marrows, root vegetables, edible plant stems, alliums, and starchy vegetables. It’s important that you’re getting a broad selection of vegetables and not just the same five that you’re comfortable with. Get adventurous, creative and try to get as much colour as you can in your vegetables.
Eating a balanced diet is the best way to reduce your risk of disease, maintain good health and a strong immune system.
