Question by : Why should you not overcook vegetables when following an alkaline rich foods diet?
I have been following a strict alkaline diet for a couple of weeks now. Recently I was cooking a meal for the family and I had my mother over who is following the same diet. She noticed that I had overcooked my spinach and told me that I should be careful not to overcook alkaline rich foods. What is the reason I should avoid overcooking foods with high alkaline content?

Best answer:

Answer by Erick
Your mother obviously has done her research. She was correct when she stated it is important not to overcook the alkaline containing foods such as spinach and other vegetables. When you overcook alkaline rich foods, it can turn that food into an acidifying food instead. Spinach when raw has large amount of alkaline and is great for that type of diet. However, when spinach is boiled on the stove the alkaline become acid and the spinach can become unhealthy.

This rule applies to all vegetables, when you cook them the nutrient value becomes less and the acid value becomes increased. Rather than boiling your vegetables, try baking or steaming them. Eating them raw is another healthy suggestions. In fact, raw vegetables have far more nutrients than cooked vegetables. An alkaline rich diet can be a very healthy option when you follow the procedure correctly. Also, for even higher alkaline content add fruits to your meal as well. Apples and strawberries are both fruits that contain high alkaline levels.

What should the pH be for good alkaline water?

Thanks!
***This is for drinking water***

Best answer:

Answer by BRYAN
by definition neutral is pH 7, anything higher (in number) above this figure is deemed alkaline, anything lower is acid.

Baking powder is a mix of acid and bicarbonate which react to produce carbon dioxide. The end result is going to be more or less neutral or the manufacturer is wasting money.

For an alkaline solution, use bicarbonate of soda or washing soda (sodium carbonate), some washing powders are also alkaline, as soap may be.

Dr. Robert O. Young says, “You dont get cancer, you DO cancer. When not eliminated, acids will reside in the tissue. Women are at 100% risk for breast cancer on the current lifestyles & diets that most are living, because acids are deposited in the fatty breast tissue. If you are eating dairy, stop. It is an acid. Lactic acid is a major contributor to both men and women for reproductive cancers. Cancer is not a noun, its an adjective. Cancer is an expression of acidity!”

Question by memuro: benefits of alkaline water?
I’m buying alkaline water that comes from a deep well in Luquillo, Puerto Rico and what I have read is that the alkaline water is produced either by special drops in normal water or by filtering machines (very expensive by the way) , so I have doubts about the water I’m buying. How can I know if this water is really alkaline? Is their a any other option?

Answer by Jesse
I’m sorry to say this, but you’re getting ripped off.

While there is currently no evidence that says that it hurts to drink it, it doesn’t really do anything to help you. Your stomach acid will neutralize the pH of the water as soon as it passes through your esophagus. If you were able to change your blood pH you would rapidly develop Metabolic alkalosis.

Metabolic alkalosis develops when the body loses too much acid or gains too much base. For example, stomach acid is lost during periods of prolonged vomiting or when stomach acids are suctioned with a stomach tube (as is sometimes done in hospitals). In rare cases, metabolic alkalosis develops in a person who has ingested too much base from substances such as baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). In addition, metabolic alkalosis can develop when excessive loss of sodium or potassium affects the kidneys’ ability to control the blood’s acid-base balance. For instance, loss of potassium sufficient to cause metabolic alkalosis may result from the use of diuretics or corticosteroids.

A better option would be to spend your money on something besides water, which you can get from any sink, drinking fountain, or water fountain.

Hope that helps!

Question by Daniel: Why are alkaline diet foods important?
As I approach middle age, it seems that most diets aren’t working for me. I have heard much about alkaline foods. I understand that most processed foods are lacking nutrients and are highly acid forming. Why are alkaline foods necessary for good health?

Best answer:

Answer by Erick
Your body needs to maintain an acid and alkaline balance for optimum health. Most processed foods, such as chips, crackers, candy, and soda are highly acidic. A body that is high in acid draws calcium from the bones, and creates other health problems. Alkaline diet foods create a more healthful environment in the body. Alkaline foods include most fruits, most vegetables, nuts and seeds. Meat, dairy, breads and sugar are high acid foods.

Eat a diet with a healthy balance. High alkaline foods can be the main part of a healthy diet, with the balance being fewer of the acid foods. The healthy ph balance that is necessary for good health is 7.35. A simple test with a strip of ph paper from the pharmacy can be placed on the tongue to measure the ph level in the body. Ramping up on greens by eating salads, green smoothies and wheatgrass juice is a good way to help stabilize the acid/alkaline balance. Greens are highly alkaline. Tofu, almonds, olive oil, soybeans, and seeds are also alkaline foods. Eating more green foods, especially raw ones, will help balance the ph level. A salad with leafy greens, fresh tomatoes, cucumber slices, and avocado chunks is a great alkaline lunch. Top with some soaked almonds, and a light raw apple cider vinaigrette for a healthful meal. Alkaline foods are rich in minerals and minerals and help you maintain health and vitality.

Question by Daniel Marcos: What is a high alkaline diet and how is it beneficial?
I heard something from a friend relating to body pH and acid, so I recently took a home pH test and found that my body was highly acidic. I have heard that this condition can be harmful to the body. I want to change my diet to include healthier foods that do not contain acid. I am searching for information on alkaline foods and diets. What is a high alkaline diet?

Best answer:

Answer by Erick
A high alkaline diet emphasizes the consumption of vegetables and fruit so that the body can function at an optimal level. When the body is too acidic, it steals minerals from vital organs, muscles and bones. Over time, this causes the organs to weaken and fail. Acidity eventually leads to premature aging and a shorter life span. To counteract the effects of acidity, a low acid diet should be followed. This diet includes plenty of vegetables including: broccoli, cabbage, carrots, greens, peas and many others. Fruits, such as berries, bananas, melons, grapes and lemons, also neutralize acid. To maintain a high alkaline diet, 80 percent of the food you eat should be alkaline or non-acid forming, food. Avoid eating large amounts of protein, breads and dairy products.

Question by Alisa Thompson: Alkaline Water Benefits?
Why would alkaline water benefit me?

Question: I am a healthy young adult female in good shape. I have heard about alkaline water and I want to know what alkaline water benefits are for me. I understand that alkaline water has benefits for those who may be elderly or ill, but I am not either. I exercise regularly and am healthy. I do not drink tap water, but drink bottled water. Should I still be concerned about the water I drink, or is there a benefit for me to drink alkaline water?

Best answer:

Answer by Nick
Everyone should be concerned about the water they drink. If you ever have someone do a “live blood analysis” on you, as I had done just this weekend, you will see the results for yourself. It is as simple as this. The acidic you become, the more your body will steal calcium and magnesium from your bones in order to buffer the acid. You body fights like mad to maintain a pH of 7.365. So when you drink a cola (which has a pH of only 2.5) you create a deficit. Your body takes calcium to bring the blood back up to 7.365. Net effect? You fill fine, but your bones get a tiny bit weaker. You can see that over time this will ensure that you get osteoporosis or arthritis or maybe even IBS or Cancer.

Alkalinity is important. period!!! You will find dozens of paid pharmaceutical hacks who are willing to write about this and to trash the concept. This is not something that big pharma wants you to know. There is not money in healthy people or dead people. They want sick people. And they will do whatever they can to keep this market. Once wikileaks has released their information on Big Pharma, I’m sure this argument will be over.

Meanwhile… there is a ton of evidence that shows the efficacy of drinking alkaline water. And now there is no excuse for not having it. For those that can’t afford $ 1595 for a basic machine, there are pH drops that cost a mere $ 12 per month!

My own testing on bottled water reveals that nearly all of it is acid. You can google “Testing Desani water” and you will find plenty of tests that show how acid that water is.

Alkalinity has so many benefits, there is not the space here to list them.
