Note: Excerpted from the measurement report of Dr. Kotaro Nishizaki. The ash obtained from one hundred grams of food is neutralized with a specified acid or alkali, and the acid or alkali C and C used are called the alkalinity or acidity of the food.

Give examples to illustrate the benefits of fruit:

Papaya: It contains a special enzyme (papain) and is the hero of digestion. In the United States, expensive digestive tablets are made of papaya.

Apple: It is rich in potassium ions and can neutralize oral endotoxin. This is an excellent tooth and gum cleaner. Chewing apples carefully in your mouth is very effective in preventing periodontal disease.

Fig: It contains a special enzyme (fig element), which can dissolve toxins in blood, and also contains serotonin, which can enhance brain power, physical strength and intelligence. Scholars in ancient Europe and practitioners in the Middle East can gain excellent intelligence only by drinking figs and water when fasting for a few days.

Pineapple: Bromelain (bromine) can help the pancreas to remove and decompose protein and fat.

Tomato: strong alkalinity, good acid neutralizer, can improve acid constitution.

Banana: It contains a lot of potassium, which is good for the nerves. Especially when potassium deficiency leads to depression, bananas are helpful.

Coconut: a food with high alkalinity. Any disease caused by excessive acidification of the body can be improved by coconut milk or coconut milk.

Lemon: It is very alkaline, and lemon juice is familiar to people. Drinking lemon juice regularly every day can treat all kinds of unbalanced symptoms.

Oranges-very clean and contain a lot of vitamin C.

Because of the imbalance of acidic constitution caused by dietary deviation, or serious diseases have not yet formed, or serious diseases have already formed, we can understand acidic and alkaline foods, check ourselves and correct the deviation, and through proper selection and deployment, we will get immediate practical results and restore our original health in time, because our blood will be re-established at that time-weak alkaline balance.

Good health-weak alkalinity.

Acidic foods contain phosphorus, chlorine and sulfur-fish, eggs, milk, sugar and oil.

Alkaline foods contain calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron-vegetables, fruits, beans and seaweed-which should be ingested.

Body acidity, dietary deviation, derivative diseases.

In a natural and healthy state, our body should be weakly alkaline, that is, the ph value of blood is 7.4. When the body is in this weak alkaline state, all kinds of extremely complex biochemical functions in the body can be brought into full play, and all wastes can be eliminated quickly and thoroughly without accumulating in the body. On the contrary, if we eat too much acidic food, our body and blood will change from weak alkaline to acidic. At this time, the workload of organs involved in blood purification in our body, such as liver, heart and blood vessels, kidney, spleen and pancreas, will gradually increase, and over time, eventually lead to failure and various serious diseases.

If the toxic waste produced in the body cannot be properly removed, the human body will naturally and instinctively look for places to accumulate waste first. Usually, "joint" is the most common accumulation site, which receives too much acidic waste, so various atypical rheumatism and gout are common in clinical diagnosis. In the practice of after-school medical practice, patients often have aches all over, or low back pain, numbness of joints and limbs, and often accept patients' questions and ask what is the disease. After years of research, observation and experience, I often advise patients to eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables, so that they can be cured by changing the symptoms of acidosis. After this persuasion, many patients will be fine without taking medicine, but some can't believe that it is not uncommon to take painkillers continuously, resulting in various complications. In addition to joints, another common place is skin mucosa, and its symptoms include eczema, acne, oral ulcers, hemorrhoids and so on. Joints, mucous membranes and skin are just channels through which organisms instinctively try to reduce the burden of waste and increase excretion. Please refer to the second step of disease formation we mentioned earlier. If these phenomena occur, we just sit back and ignore these warning signs, or we still eat inappropriate food. At this time, our acidic constitution will become a hotbed for providing various diseases. It can be from mild to severe, from curable to terminally ill, such as rhinitis, allergic asthma, emphysema and even respiratory failure of respiratory system; Chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer; Slight proteinuria and chronic nephritis lead to uremia; Hyperlipidemia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction complicated with stroke; Anemia, leucocyte dysfunction, unknown fever, infection and development into lymphoma, blood tumor, etc. Clinically, such cases emerge one after another. Patients and their families always go the same way. At first, they couldn't accept, resist and don't believe their illness. Later, they succumbed to the torture of the disease, and finally they were helpless. How many people can wake up in the pain of illness?

In fact, the basic idea of endless diseases and their treatment-restoring the true nature of life-weak alkalinity, by reducing the intake of acidic food as much as possible, increasing the quality and quantity of alkaline food, making life return to weak alkalinity, all problems are naturally solved. Recently, in my medical career, I met a case. A 22-year-old senior who is about to graduate is hospitalized with a stuffy nose, a cold and a nosebleed. After examination, it was diagnosed as malignant lymphoma. During his stay in hospital, he remembered that fried chicken legs were necessary for eating, otherwise he could not eat them. After careful inquiry, we can know that he has been studying abroad for four years, with a hamburger and a coke for breakfast and a fried chicken leg for lunch and dinner every day. I have been used to this diet for four years. His parents are puzzled. How can a lively and active child suddenly get this terminal disease? As we all know, eating too much acidic food every day leads to long-term acidification of the body, which leads to the overload operation of the lymphatic hematopoietic circulation system, one of the blood purification organs, which leads to cancer.

Mr. Hickett, the father of western medicine, has a famous saying: "Your food is your prescription, and your prescription is your food. In order to maintain the normal physiological function of weak alkalinity, the quality of alkaline food must not be less than that of acidic food. In other words, reducing the intake of acidic food is a healthy way.

What is acidic food? Alkaline food?

Everyone may have made a mistake in distinguishing between acidic and alkaline foods, thinking that tasting with the tongue and judging whether it is sour or astringent with the sense of taste; Or take litmus test paper, according to the physical and chemical characteristics, see its color change or blue to alkaline, red to acidic; Or according to the experience of daily diet, such as lemon, vinegar and orange are acidic, but some books say that lemon, orange and apple are alkaline foods. There are different opinions or contradictions about this. In fact, the acidity and alkalinity of food depends on the type and content ratio of minerals contained in food.

Human food is basically divided into five categories-protein, fat, carbohydrate (commonly known as sugar), vitamins and minerals. Everyone knows that protein and vitamins are very important. Although minerals are only trace, they are also indispensable elements to maintain health, so they are equivalent to protein. For human beings, there are eight essential minerals closely related to the acidity and alkalinity of food: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, chlorine and sulfur. The first five are alkaline (alkaline elements) after reaching the human body. Judging whether a food is acidic or alkaline depends entirely on the content ratio of acidic elements and alkaline elements. In the laboratory, chemists burn food into ashes (100g food is heated in a crucible), then take it out and dissolve it in water, and titrate its pH value. Because after food is burned, gray matter will remain, and so will the above eight minerals. After dissolution and ionization, the pH value can be determined. Why use the combustion method? This is a series of processes that simulate the food eaten by people, digested by the stomach, decomposed and absorbed by the intestines, and burned in the body. Burning in the body is almost similar to burning in the air, so in nutritional medicine, the pH of food is classified in this way. After analysis, the following characteristics can be drawn:

Most animal foods are acidic foods. Such as fish, meat and shellfish, are rich in protein, and protein is high in phosphorus and sulfur.

Most cereals and some nuts are acidic foods, which are the source of human energy.

Alkaline foods include most vegetables, fruits and seaweed. In other words, low-calorie plant foods are almost all alkaline foods.

Why do vinegar and sour fruit juice taste sour on the tongue and the test paper is acidic? Why can't the body be acidic? Edible vinegar and sour fruit, which contain organic acids such as acetic acid, malic acid and citric acid, are absorbed in the body, then the pancreatic juice, bile and intestinal juice are neutralized by sodium carbonate, and then absorbed into the liver, and soon burned into CO2, which has little effect on the human body. Therefore, although the taste is sour, it is not included in acidic food.

Or some organic acids decompose, leaving many minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. So they show alkaline reactions, such as lemon, orange, vinegar and so on.

Organic acids in vegetables and fruits not only make people feel acidic, but also have an alkaline taste. The so-called alkaline taste is sticky and astringent. The reason is that due to alkalinity, the mucous membrane of the tongue, protein, suffered a little injury and lost feeling for a while.

This is what most people call eating too many fruits and vegetables, and your mouth is astringent, so you can't help but feel cold. So they often misunderstand that eating too much fruit will make your body too cold, but it is not.

Some foods are added with sodium carbonate (soda) or alkaline powder (Taiwan Province "base" powder) in order to prevent corrosion, keep fresh or increase lubricity, which often makes people feel bitter or astringent, because alkaline substances remain in the food.

PH and pH are different. In terms of taste, the acidity in food is better than alkalinity, which is good for people. But what about the taste of acidic and alkaline food? We can't generalize. Some people like the delicious taste of acidic food, but alkaline food such as tofu also has its unique light taste. So delicious food is not necessarily acidic. For example, glutamic acid and lecithin extracted from soybeans are all delicious alkaline foods.

Dr. Hirotaro Nishizaki has made extensive research on the identification of food acidity and alkalinity. Please refer to the attached table 1.

Besides knowing what acidity is. Besides alkalinity, we should also recognize its acidity (or strength). For example, the alkalinity of milk is 0.2 (note: milk and egg white are commonly used in emergency medicine to neutralize acid and alkali), tofu is 0. 1, and pods are 1. 1. In other words, after eating this almost neutral food, the body always remains weakly alkaline. On the contrary, eating a lot of foods with high acidity makes the body sour, and it should be tempered with other foods with high alkalinity. Therefore, fruits and vegetables are excellent regulators and health protectors.

Choice of acid-base food

Introspection, if you have indigestion or poor health on weekdays, you should avoid the following acidic foods:

Meat, fish and eggs are the most harmful to human body.

All starch and grains, especially refined starch (such as white rice, white bread, white noodles, white steamed bread, biscuits, three-in-one brewed refined meal packages, etc.). ).

Seasoning, pickles.

Onions, garlic, mushrooms, mushrooms.

Some beans and nuts, especially peanuts, peas and lentils.

All oil and cream, greasy and fried, fried food.

All sweets, especially sweets made of white sugar, refined sugar and refined salt, jam, jelly, syrup, candy, ice cream, beverage (extremely acidic, which will soon corrode teeth), chocolate, canned fruit and so on.

The acidity of grain can be reduced by proper cooking and treatment. For example, if bread is baked slightly in the oven, starch will be converted into fructose or fruit candy. When they are converted into this type, they become digestible carbohydrates like sugar in fruits. Secondly, baked bread has the characteristics of alkaline food, and its nutritional value is much higher than untreated white bread. Another example is that people in China like to eat white rice. If they can soak in water for 30 seconds before drinking, a lot of acidic starch can be washed away, so the harm to the body can be slightly reduced. In contrast, the acidity of many whole grains (brown rice, brown rice flour, brown bread, wheat germ, etc.). ) is obviously lower than the refined whole grains, so everyone tries to replace white rice and white flour with whole grains.

Alkaline foods that should be added to the diet:

Vegetables: Almost all vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, can also be cooked into vegetable soup. Bean sprouts are the best body cleanser, rich in vitamins and minerals. Among all beans, soybean is the most alkaline, and it is also an excellent choice to treat high acidity.

Milk must be yogurt without cream.

Molasses are by-products produced when sugar is extracted from sugarcane or sugar beet. All mineral nutrients in sugarcane are contained in it. Foreign supermarkets sell it, and almost all molasses produced by Taiwan Province Taiwan Sugar Company is handed over to feed companies. But smart people eat refined sugar cubes with the lowest nutritional value, which are harmful-really ridiculous, I hope you can change it), sugarcane juice and pure honey (because most beekeepers in Taiwan Province Province feed sugar or white sugar, which is made of nectar, which is rare).

Most nuts are pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, sesame seeds and walnuts.

Fruit and freshly squeezed juice: Fruit is the easiest to digest in food, because the ingredients of fruit itself are very simple, and people don't have to spend a lot of energy to digest it. Therefore, in nutrition, fruit is often called "the best alkaline food" and "the best internal cleaner", and it is really "the most natural medicine". According to the British health department, fruit juice is effective in relieving excessive tension, decomposing toxins, purifying the body, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, rheumatism and hypertension. If you can drink 1000- 1500 cc every day, you can get good curative effect.
