Good alkalinity
Acid-base imbalance is an important cause of disease. Maintaining acid-base balance requires a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition. When the dietary pH is weakly alkaline, waste products in the body can be quickly and completely eliminated and are less likely to accumulate in the body. (When the pH value of body fluids is between 7 and 7.4, the body is healthiest and has the strongest immunity, which can effectively prevent diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, gout and other diseases.) If acidic substances accumulate too much in the body, not only will It can lead to changes in metabolism, endocrine disorders, accelerated aging, and various diseases. According to tests, the body fluids of all cancer patients are acidic, and the more serious the disease, the lower the pH value. Cancer cells are most active in acidic body fluids.
Acidic foods are foods that contain a lot of chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus, and the final metabolites in the body are acidic. This type of food mainly includes livestock and poultry meat, fish and shrimp, eggs, cereals, and hard fruits such as peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc.
Alkaline food is a food that contains a large amount of calcium, potassium, magnesium and other elements and the final metabolite in the body is alkaline. Such foods include various vegetables, fruits, beans, milk, and hard fruits such as almonds and chestnuts.
To maintain a good acid-base balance, you also need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Meet the body's water needs. Including water in food, the daily water intake should not be less than 2000 ml. To maintain metabolic balance, it is also an important aspect of maintaining body fluid balance.
2. Reduce salt intake to no more than 5 grams per day. Many foods contain sodium, so your diet should be light and light. This is also an important factor in maintaining health and preventing aging.
3. Eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and minerals in the body and neutralize excess acidic metabolic substances in the body.
4. Eat less greasy, barbecued, smoked and bacon foods, and less cold foods to maintain stomach qi and protect digestion and absorption capabilities.
