Blood & Body PH
Your body is designed to work at optimum health efficiency when your body is in an alkaline (not acidic) state. As a first step you can purchase urine/saliva test strips to measure this yourself.
The three simple steps to Biome Repair include:
- Eating mostly Alkaline Foods
- Consuming enough Fiber
- Maintaining proper Hydration
Eating Mostly Alkaline Foods
Non-Acidic / Alkaline Fruits
The majority of fruits are considered to be alkaline producing foods. Anything with a pH greater than 7 is considered to be alkaline and is non-acidic. When it comes to foods, it is not the acid in the food that matters, but rather what occurs in your body once the food is consumed. For example, citrus fruit flesh and juice are acidic, but in your body they are alkaline-producing foods. Lemons, limes, avocados and kiwi are categorized as highly alkaline fruits and are therefore non-acidic. Other non-acidic fruits include bananas, cantaloupe, apples, coconut, grapefruit, grapes, oranges and watermelon.
Non-Acidic / Alkaline Berries
Berries, which belong to the fruit group, are often found to be non-acidic and have an alkaline pH level. Strawberries, blackberries, black currants, raspberries and red currants are all non-acidic berries. Most berries will have a pH greater than 7. Exceptions are cranberries and blueberries, a couple of the few types of berries classified as acidic.
Non-Acidic / Alkaline Vegetables
The majority of vegetables contain an alkaline pH level and do not generate acids when consumed. You may need to be wary of some canned, frozen or pickled vegetables, however, since processing and packaging can change the pH level of these vegetables to become acidic. You don’t need to worry about changes in pH level with fresh vegetables. Asparagus, broccoli, cucumbers, kale, beets, carrots, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, celery, lettuce, peppers, collard greens, pumpkin and onions are non-acidic vegetables.
If you find yourself with results showing your blood in an acid state you can ask your health care provider about going on an alkaline food diet.
