There is one major lesson I’ve learned over the years while helping clients through the total wellness journey that is, the consequences or output that follow are determined by the input. Superb health accrues naturally from excellent, conscience and conscientious care of our body, mind and spirit.
Health and wellness declines when balance is lost. One such balance is the pH level of our body. Studies show that body acidity has been linked to cancer. How do you know when your body’s acidity is high?
Let’s take a look at chemistry explained by EPA.gov:
The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.
You can test your pH levels by using a pH test strip. An ideal body pH is 7.4 but your pH should range from around 6.8-7.8 depending on the time of the day and whether you are testing your saliva or urine. pH stands for potential hydrogen and it’s the measurement of hydrogen-ion concentration where the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is, the higher the pH reading.
How do you keep acidity away from your body?
There are many factors that will increase the acidity in our body. In this article let’s look at food and nutrition.
Here are two lists of foods- alkaline and acidic foods taken from Young Living’s Oil Essentials Training and Education Manual (these lists are not complete):
Alkaline foods
Acidic Foods
Highest acid
Pudding
Jam
Table salt
Beer
Yeast
Sugar
Processed
Cheese
Ice cream
Beef
Lobster
Barley
Hazelnuts
Fried foods
Dr. Rayner Berg has an extensive acid-alkaline food chart which I have taken from The National Association for Child Development Organization (NACD). Berg suggested we should eat 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods in each meal:
Look at the similarity of the list of alkaline forming and acid forming foods to foods that create mucus and foods that eliminate mucus (graphic taken from Rawforbeauty.com). For a complete list of mucus forming and mucus binding food please email me at info@starrhealth.com:
Which food groups are you more inclined to consume?
Adopting and maintaining a healthy eating habit is the first step to the journey of wellness and health- and restoring pH balance in our body. Researchers found that cancer is more incline to acidic environment. Most diseases thrive under acidic conditions, which means the right nutrition and consuming foods that are alkaline forming will allow you to have higher quality of life and may protect you from any form of cancer and disease.
Here are four suggested nutritional supplements to restore pH balance:
One: Omegagize
Omegagize has three core daily supplements of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D-3 AND CoQ10 (ubiquinone) plus essential oils. According to University of Maryland Medical Center, omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for human health because the body can’t make it. It reduces inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and arthritis.
Fish is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids but there are many concerns on the toxic chemicals absorbed from pollution and mercury levels in certain types of fish. Through independent and internal testing and research, Young Living was able to get the purest fish oils available.
According to American Cancer Society, in the 1950s a German scientist named Johanna Budwig PhD discovered essential fatty acids and developed a diet that she said would fight cancer. Her patients experienced tumor reduction within three months and some have experienced even more dramatic results.
Two: NingXia Red
I’ve written many articles on the benefits of NingXia Red. Here are two of them:
NingXia Red: Good Eating is Not Common Sense
How to Live Healthy and Happy at 100 Years Old
Testimonial from Diana M about NingXia Red and Thyroid Cancer:
I had a Thyridectomy in 2001 for thyroid cancer. In 2004 I had more tumors removed. During this surgery my phrenic nerve was damaged which left me with right side paralysis of the diaphragm. I did not want to have any more surgery but I still had four tumors even after radioactive iodine 131.
I heard other testimonials for cancer and these people were using Young Living oils and NingXia Red that was in 2006. I started drinking NingXia and using frankincense oil on my neck. In January of 09 I have one very tiny tumor remaining. I use many of Young Living products and share my story with others. God gave us such wonderful natural products we should be wise enough to use them. Thank you to Young Living and God.
Three: AlkaLime
Young Living’s AlkaLime is a precisely balanced alkaline mineral complex formulated to neutralize acidity and maintain desirable pH levels in the body. It is infused with lemon and lime essential oils, organic whole lemon powder, effervescence and biochemic cell salts.
Take 1 teaspoon of AlkaLime and mix with about 8 oz. of pure water and take one to three times a day one hour before meals to help neutralize the body.
Four: Mineral Essence
According to PubMed, diet is estimated to contribute to about one-third of preventable cancer. Inadequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals might explain the epidemiological findings that people who eat only small amounts of fruits and vegetables have an increased risk of developing cancer.
They also reported that vitamin and mineral deficiencies could lead to DNA damage and optimizing vitamin and mineral intake like mineral supplements might prevent cancer and other chronic diseases.
Young Living’s Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. Linus Pauling PhD, a two-time Nobel Prize winner said:
“You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”
Mineral Essence is a type of ionic mineral that is the most fully and quickly absorbed form of mineral available.
Let’s keep acidity away from our body by consuming more alkaline foods and getting at least one of these nutritional supplements. To purchase Young Living’s nutritional supplements at wholesale prices and to join our Health Investor Club, please visit the Health Investors Club page.
