Alkalize Or Die Chart
Cookie Grosky
Many pH charts are comprised based on the PRAL (potential renal acid load) methods which measures pH by burning food to an ash residue and then measuring the pH of the ash. Howeverthis method also burns away sugars and yeast. In addition the important factor is not whether the food itself is acidic or alkaline, but what happens once eaten.
Acidity in the body is a dangerous enemy, destroying your health. Cancer and other diseases can only be present in an acidic environment. By bringing the body back into a more alkaline balance, many of the ailments that inflict people will disappear. Symptoms of an acidic body are poor digestion, heartburn, kidney stones, diabetes, headaches, etc.
Foods that make the body acidic are meat, dairy products, eggs, white flour, and white sugar. By removing these things from your diet or by only consuming them occasionally you will notice the acidic symptoms will start to leave.
Negative emotions and stress are also acidic. Negative emotions and stress form chemicals that are stored in your body as toxins. Having a negative outlook on life and being under constant stress will keep your body in an acidic state. Emotions such as fear, anger, and worry can be detrimental to your health.
Moderate exercise such as walking, sprinting, yoga, and swimming is great for the body and very alkalizing. Extreme or obsessive exercise can not only create stress on the body it can also do more harm than good when it comes to creating acidity in the body.
You can buy PH strips on Amazon or at a health food store. Make sure not to touch the bumpy end of the strip because the grease from your fingers could change the results. Then place the strip under a stream of urine, and compare the strip to the numbered color chart. Follow the directions on the back of the box for the best time of day to test your PH. A urine PH test can alert you that something is off with the body. Your blood PH is different and is tested by a blood test by your medical doctor.
Although the body requires approximately 20% of the diet to be derived from acid-forming foods that can be properly digested to help maintain pristine health, high acid-forming diets that cannot be properly digested acidify body tissue and eventually lead to Low Chronic Acidosis that will drain and weaken the health and energy of every human cell in the body.
The Acid Alkaline Food Chart (also referred to as the Alkaline Acid Food Chart or Alkaline and Acid Food Chart) has listed the various food groups below according to either a negative PRAL or positive PRAL score.
Physicians prescribe, cooks prepare and people eat all manner of combinations of food without the slightest regard for the physiological limitations of man's digestive system. It is the general view that the human stomach should be able to digest about any number and variety of food substances that may be put into it at one time.
Digestion is governed by Physiological Chemistry but the so-called "Food Scientist" continues to disregard this fact. He writes out his menus without the slightest thought of the decomposition that his jumbled mixtures are certain to cause in the digestive tracts of his patients. He never thinks of the fact that he is actually poisoning those who pay him for advice and instruction. This is why the food combining chart is still the best food chart to follow.
Certain physiological limitations of the digestive glands and of the digestive enzymes and juices should be considered when planning a meal. It is not what we eat, but what we digest and assimilate that adds to our health. A stomach that is reeking with decomposition will not supply to the body the "calories" and "vitamins" originally contained in the food eaten. It appears to be utterly impossible to digest the conglomeration that makes up the usual meal of the average man or woman.
I append the accompanying chart as a guide to food-combining, which is fashioned after one designed by Dr. Weger. I have made certain additions to the chart, and have disagreed with him in a few minor particulars. My reasons for disagreement are based both, on physiological principles, and experience. His chart does not include melons and fats and does not differentiate between sour or butter milk and sweet milk. These have been added to my chart.
Combinations marked "good" are good for the weakest digestion.
Combinations marked "fair" are permissible if digestion is unimpaired.
Combinations marked "poor" should never be employed unless digestion is at its highest.
Combinations marked "bad" should not be employed by even the strongest digestion.
Salads should contain no starch, such as potatoes; no proteins, such as eggs or shrimp; no oils, such as olive oil or dressings containing oil; no acids, such as vinegar or lemon juice. Salt should also be omitted.
A second food-combining chart is presented, which may prove more helpful. By studying the two charts, it is easy to find the foods that do combine with each other. Making use of these facts of combination, the following plan of eating three meals-a-day is suggested:
In the winter months, one or two dried fruits such as figs, dates, raisins, prunes, etc., may be substituted for the fresh fruits. A winter breakfast of grapes, figs and pears will be found to be ideal.
Evening Meal: A large, raw vegetable salad (if nuts or cottage cheese are to be used as the protein, tomatoes may be used in this salad), two cooked non-starchy vegetables and a protein.
Fat meats, sour apples, beans, peanuts, peas, cereals, bread and jam, or hot-cakes and honey or syrup, are notoriously slow in digesting and are frequent sources of discomfort and putrescent poisoning.
The total net acid excretion or PRAL score is determined by looking at all the substances that are produced when these foods are digested, as well as normal urine production versus the additional components produced from high acid foods.
If you\u2019ve ever wondered about the impact of food on body acid levels, this article is for you! I\u2019m going to talk about the PRAL chart - a measure of the \u201Cpotential renal acid load\u201D of a food. Specifically, it\u2019s a measure of the amount of acid that is produced when a food is metabolized in the body. Higher PRAL values indicate more acid is produced from your food. Negative PRAL values indicate that base (the opposite of acid) is produced. The total PRAL of your diet is the balance of the acid and base produced by your diet throughout the day.
It\u2019s important to know the PRAL of foods because it can help you to make more informed dietary choices. A diet too high in acid-producing foods can put an increased strain on the kidneys and lead to health issues in the long term.
These are the ideal levels for pool chemistry, or the most acceptable range for proper pool water chemistry. However, while these are the average ideal ranges, certain situations may call for certain levels to be slightly elevated or decreased. Here are the pool chemical level charts for the most common chemicals!
Use this pool pH dosage chart to determine how to properly adjust the pH level in your pool. A low pH of 7.1 is desirable when using chlorine and sock, but 7.4 is best for swimmer comfort, surface protection, and overall water balance.
Use this Calcium Hardness chart to determine the correct amount of increaser to add for a desired change in hardness levels. To lower pool water hardness, the solution is dilution! If your water has less than 200 ppm of total hardness, add Calcium Increaser.
Use this pool shock dosage chart to determine the correct amount of pool shock treatment. 30 ppm chlorine shock chart for killing algae and bacteria, and the 3.0 ppm super chlorination chart, used for cloudy water, after rain or heavy use, or low chlorine levels.
Use this Stabilizer dosage chart to determine the correct amount of Cyanuric Acid stabilizer or conditioner to add for a desired increase. To lower stabilizer levels, the solution is dilution! If you use stabilized pool chlorine tablets, you will add 10 ppm per month.
Students of pool-ology can find these pool chemical dosage charts useful in balancing pool water correctly. Bookmark this page (Ctrl-D) for easy reference later! Or, click this link and type Ctrl-P for a printer-friendly pool chemical chart you can use as a study guide.
