Alaklising Explained - The Dynamite Beauty Secret that keeps me rockin'

The ultimate secret to health, beauty and youthfulness and fortunately the best effect of a raw vegan diet is the alkalisation of the body. Raw Greens are the TNT that make the body more alkaline (also see Green Smoothie Previous Blog)

I will attempt to explain simply why alkalising the body is the best beauty gift you could ever give yourself. Stop torturing yourself, throw away the scales lose weight, become youthful and beautiful and rid your body of cancerous environments.

In 1931 (Over 80 years ago!!!) Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery that cancer is caused be weakened cell respiration due to a lack of oxygen at the cellular level. Damaged cell respiration causes fermentation, resulting in low pH (acidity) at the cellular level.

A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse change when it can no longer take in oxygen to convert glucose into energy. In the absence of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional program to nourish itself by converting glucose through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid produced by the fermentation lowers the cell pH (acid/alkaline balance) and destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division. The lactic acid simultaneously causes severe local pain as it destroys cell enzymes, Cancer appears as a rapidly growing external cell covering, with a core of dead cells.

Dr Otto Warburg finished one of his most famous speeches with the following statement: "...nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention."

Otto Warburg won the  Nobel Prize for showing that cancer thrives in anaerobic ( without oxygen), or acidic conditions. In other words, the main cause for cancer is the acidity of the human body.


So why doesn'y everybody know what pH is?

I don't remember a doctor ever measuring my pH!

It makes great sense to me that we should be conscious of the pH levels of foods and that all foods sold to the public should include, by law,  pH levels on labelling, together with kilojules and nutritional information.

For eg Parmesan cheese should have a big red warning label with a pH sign saying it is extremely acid forming -34! While spinach may have a gold medal sign with a gorgeous alkalising pH level of +13. Some foods are suprisingly alkaline or acidic, for example, most people are amazed to learn that lemons are one of the most alkalising fruits while pistachio nuts are heavily acidifying. Many people's health could be instantly improved by consuming alkalising foods, below is a sample list.

 Fats as the main contributor to weight gain is a popular delusion amongst dieters. The misconception leads to massive confusion and explains why so many overweight people are not succeeding in losing weight.

News alert - you will gain weight from eating, say, cheese not only because it's rich in fat, but mostly due to its high acidity level. This is because the body has to create fat cells to store the acid.

For eg almonds have 70% fat and pork has only 58%. However pork has one of the highest acidity values, -38, while almonds are alkaline +3.6.

Food is not the only factor to effect our pH balance - stress can leave acidic residues in our body. I have noticed how much calmer and peaceful I am since I have become a vegan. I truly believe that when you consume animal flesh you are consuming all the stress and lactic acid produced from fear of the animal at slaughter. As I have alkalised my body and lost weight I have not only released the stored acids but also past stresses and traumas, negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. A Maori healer recently told me that when you heal your body you also heal your ancestors.

Paying bills, having a mortgage, arguing, driving like a maniac, not getting enough sleep and other negative stressful environments can make our body more acidic. Walking in nature, listening to music, talking with loved ones, spending time with animals, swimming in a lake or the ocean are activities that make our bodies more alkaline.

I got most of my information for this blog from a great book called Green For Life - let me know if you want to read it. Enjoy the green smoothies and cheers to a alkalising for a better world.
