List of Alkaline Foods

Are You Getting Enough Alkaline Foods in Your Diet?

'Your health depends on an alkaline environment, created by eating foods such as tomatoes, avocados and green vegetables...striking the optimum 80/20 balance and regulating your body's acid/alkaline chemistry through simple changes in diet can result in weight loss, increased stamina and strength,a stronger immune system and a greater sense of wellbeing.'

How did we become so out of balance?

After years of societal changes, millions of pounds of marketing spend and technological advances we, as a race, are now facing more dietary based health challenges than ever before. It is no coincidence that the rapidly growing numbers of cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes correlate almost exactly with the rise in consumption of acid forming foods such as sugars, saturated fats, and white breads. At the same time our consumption of fresh vegetables and essential fatty acids has decreased dramatically, making way for convenience and a generation hooked on sugary treats.




Becoming Alkaline

This is not as difficult or as technical as it sounds. When we talk about eating alkaline foods or starting an alkaline diet we are referring to consuming those foods and drink which have an alkaline effect on the body. This effect is based upon the ash residue that remains after our foods are consumed. Some foods leave an acid ash, whereas others leave an alkaline ash. Conveniently for us, our bodies have been designed to categorise which foods leave which kind of ash into neat and easy to remember groups.

Of course, everybody is different - but most of us should aim to eat 75-80% alkaline foods and a maximum of 20-25% acid forming foods.

The following guides and articles are intended to give you all of the information you need to successfully begin and maintain an alkaline lifestyle. If there are any resources that you would like to see here in the future, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Dear "Chilli Eater"


To whom ever who can feel the wraith of Your doings,

you might not feel the heat.
but it is the reason why u can barely live a "normal" life...

i would say, U nearly resemble a "b*tch".
U release your anger on innocent people.
You complaint about others on their misbehaviour upon U.
But have u ever wonder "WHY?"

Its simple, I've stated above.
This world consists of Kharma.
If you want something, U got to give something.
If you give something, U will get something.

Let the something be "Good" or "Bad" is up to your mind to judge.

Running away from "Questions" is a good example of avoiding your "misbehaviour".
"What-ever" says her.

Do you think U have rights to "Complaint" about others,
while U can get away by saying: "What-Ever"?

I've tried my best to "Enlighten" Your Path,
but Your lack of "Respect" for Me is what i'm "Avoiding".

"Good" Luck in what ever lies ahead of U.
May U find this inscription "Useful" to lighten your "Path".
May U even "find" this incription or not is the decision of "God".

friends...

"Friend"
gcide "The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48"
1. One who entertains for another such sentiments of esteem,
respect, and affection that he seeks his society and
welfare; a wellwisher; an intimate associate; sometimes,
an attendant.

There are many time that i put friends in mind when doing an outing on weekend. But its just many time that there are so called "friend" who doesn't do the same.

I find it disappointment to realise how the world works. I guess this is the style of Asian.
I wish to find my own circle of friend who value "friendship" more or equal to how much i value...

And its even more troublesome when my life style as "vegetarian" become a word of excuse for me to be "EXCLUDED"

Thank you so much, "friend"s.
