guide to correct food combinations

To answer this I am posting here some information. Acid Alkaline Food Chart Our eating habits have dramatically changed from nutritious raw foods to highly processed foods very low in nutritional value - in fact our optimum cell function is at risk! Without the proper Acid Alkaline Balance of our body fluids we increase the risk of getting life-threatening or chronic diseases. The key to regain the body's ideal blood and body pH is to create a Balance of Alkaline and Acid Forming Foods. However, because of unhealthy eating habits, most North-Americans have lower than neutral pH levels - but as our "normal" pH level is slightly alkaline, e.g. slightly above neutral (7.2 - 7.3), our intake of foods should also reflect this! Have a Quick but Significant look at the most important Alkaline Foods out there! In this regard we suggest consuming at least 75-80% of Alkalizing Foods, like green vegetables, sprouts and soy products, and never more than 20-25% of Neutral and Acidifying Foods, such as meat, rolls, fast food etc. The reason for that? By eating alkaline foods our body's balance will be transformed from dangerously acidic to slightly alkaline! Here are some simple strategies that may help to gradually balance your pH level: Soy milk or almond milk instead of dairy products Elimination of red meat and reduction of any chicken or turkey Elimination of soft drinks, soda, coffee - alkaline water and alkaline green drinks instead Wholewheat products instead of anything containing white flour Big salads as a whole meal as often as possible, including tomatoes, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, almonds, avocados with pumpkin, sunflower, or sesame seeds No processed, ready made or fast food at all We have divided our food chart for Alkaline and Acidic Food products into three categories: Foods you should eat in abundance; Foods you should eat moderately; and foods you should try to avoid. The table below helps to identify various foods' pH-level. Each one is assigned a number which mirrors its approximate relative potential of alkalinity (+) or acidity (-) existent in one ounce (28.35g) of food. The higher the number, the better it is for you to eat. Healthy Alkaline Foods --- - Eat lots of them!

Dr, anita, Please see the guide to correct food combinations by clicking on the left paper tag shown in the blog and you will get separate window showing the guide. I personally analysed my family eating life style and found that we were eating healthy good food but the combinations were WRONG like 1. mixing melons with other fruits. ALL melons must be taken alone. 2. drinking milk during eating breakfast. Milk should be taken alone i.e after finishing breakfast. and so on. let us analyse specific wrong combinations you as a doctor please guide more  

thank you, mr jain. more

Hi Friends ! Here is something to chew upon - - - Mind-blowing food facts! 1 Pineapple is a natural painkiller. The fruit contains anti-inflammatory enzymes that bring pain relief from conditions such as arthritis, according to a study at Reading University. 2 Pomegranate juice could prevent a heart attack. This wonder juice is believed to improve blood flow to the heart and lower blood pressure. 3 Onions are natural antibiotics. They might make your breath pong but onions contain allicin, a powerful antibiotic that also protects the circulatory system. 4 Mushrooms can ward off colds. They contain more of an immune-boosting antioxidant called ergothioneine than any other food, say researchers at Pennsylvania State University. 6 Blueberries can boost memory. A study at Tufts University in Boston showed eating half a cup of this fruit regularly could delay age-related deterioration in co-ordination and short-term memory. 8 Eat chocolate, live longer. Hurray! Harvard University scientists say that eating a couple of chocolate bars a week could extend your life by almost a year. 9 Grapefruit juice can stop medicine working. If you're taking medication, avoid washing it down with grapefruit juice as there is evidence that it prevents some drugs being broken down. 10 You should never drink tea or coffee with meals. Tannins in tea and coffee prevent absorption of certain nutrients. A cup of tea with a meal will halve the iron you get from it, whereas a glass of orange juice will double it. 11 Cherries can cure gout. Cherries contain compounds that significantly reduce the chemicals in the body which cause joint inflammation. 12 Eating curry could help prevent Alzheimer's. According to a report in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, a yellow pigment used in curry, curcumin, can stop amyloid plaques in the brain that cause the condition. 13 Sniffing a lemon could help you beat asthma. The UK's 5.1 million asthmatics could find lemons ease their symptoms. Studies in rats found that breathing improved after they inhaled limonene, the chemical that gives lemons their smell. 14 Kiwi fruit can improve your eyesight. This fuzzy fruit is a surprisingly good source of lutein, an antioxidant that protects your vision. 15 Garlic can cure mouth ulcers and verruca’s. Here's an old wives' tale that works: halve a clove of garlic, squeeze, and apply a drop of the juice to the offending growth at bedtime. 16 It is important have too little salt in your meals.

A team of Cambridge researchers discovered that a diet high in soya can have a similar effect to anti-cancer drug Tamoxifen. 19 Barbecued-food can cause cancer. Eating meat that's char-grilled or burnt could lead to stomach, pancreatic, colon and breast cancer because it creates high levels of carcinogenic compounds. 20 Cinnamon can help diabetics. Just half a teaspoon a day of this spice can significantly reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics, says US research. 21 Chilies can help you breath more easily. Capsaicin, which occurs in chilies, shrinks the mucous membranes which can ease blocked noses and sinuses. 22 Watermelon is good for the prostate.
