A healthy body means there is balance in acid and alkaline in the body.
Alkalizing medicinal plants
Alkalizing
medicinal plants to balance acid-alkaline levels include the following:
Black currant fruits are a good
source of vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals, including an omega-6 fatty
acid to increase blood flow, to decrease blood clotting, and to reduce
inflammation (often a source of many types of body pain).
Black currant seed
oil is especially good for rheumatoid arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory
properties in decreasing the morning stiffness in the joints. According to the British
Journal of Rheumatology, black currant oil is effective because of a
reduction in the secretion of the inflammatory cytokines (a source of inflammation).
Black currant seed oil is also beneficial to cardiovascular disease due to the
presence of its omega-6 fatty acids. Black currant seed oil helps reduce the
severity of menstrual cramps due to the anti-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids.
According to the Skin Study Center in Philadelphia
Burdock is a plant native
to Asia and Europe , which has become available
to all parts of the world. Ancient Chinese and Indian herbalists used burdock
to treat respiratory infections, abscesses, and joint pain. The root of burdock
is the primary source of most herbal preparations. The Japanese eat burdock
root as a vegetable.
Cranberry has been in use
since the Iron Age, but the Romans were the first to recognize its medicinal
values. Cranberry contains anti-asthmatic compounds, and is high in vitamin C
and antioxidants. Scientific studies have shown cranberry to be effective in
helping to prevent or eliminate urinary tract infections. This berry is useful
in fighting yeast infections, as well as kidney stones and chronic kidney
inflammation. According to a study reported at the 2006 International
Association for Dental Research's 84th General Session & Exhibition in Brisbane , Australia
Alkalizing energy boosters
Alkalizing energy
boosters to balance acid-alkaline levels include the following:
Spirulina is a green alga,
rich in chlorophyll, containing the highest protein and beta-carotene levels of
all green super foods. It is one of the highest known vegetable sources of
B-12, minerals, trace elements, cell salts, amino acids, DNA and RNA, and
enzymes. Spirulina helps with digestion, elimination, detoxification, internal
cleansing, tissue repair, skin problems, healing, and prevention of
degenerative disease. It also promotes longevity. Spirulina is useful in
weight-control diets because its high nutritional value helps to satisfy the
hidden hunger of deficiencies.
Blackstrap molasses is an excellent
source of iron and calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. It can
even reverse your gray hair due to its copper content.
Make a healthy
drink with a tablespoon of organic blackstrap molasses (mixed in some hot water
first) and ¾ cup of soymilk with some ice.
Cod liver oil comes from fatty
fish, such as salmon and sardines; it is rich in vitamin A and vitamin D, and
essential omega 3 oils. It enhances the absorption of calcium and maintains a
constant level of blood calcium. Cod liver oil improves brain functions and the
nervous system. In 2005, researchers at the University of California
Alkaline supplements
Alkaline
supplements may also be taken to balance the acid-alkaline levels. Alkaline supplements should contain calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), silica and copper,
and other minerals to aid de-acidification of your body. More importantly, they
should contain every mineral in similar proportion to that found in the human
body.
If you wish to be younger and healthier for longer, you must maintain your acid-alkaline balance in your body.
