druidy, i totally gave up on the "alkalizing" & "acidizing" rules.. heartburn is very common and very hard to avoid, i once had that, at first i tot it was stomach ache, then i suspected it to be gastric.. haha.. but turned out it was heartburn. i din't had lemon, but i had too much tomatoes!!

heheheheh... well i was very confusing before too... because i thought eating acidic food will make body more acid and vice versa for alkaline food, but it is not nessacery true. Its all depends on what minerals content in the food..... and the pH of the food of course play minor part too. read the below to find out more -.<

_____________________________________________

One of the realities of biological life is that our bodies continually generate acidity in the process of cellular activity. Uric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, lactic acid and urea are examples of acid waste products. This acidity must be efficiently eliminated and/or neutralized by a some source of alkalinity if we are to maintain the proper pH homeostasis in our cells,bloodstream and other body fluids.

Two other factors are also continually operative- the first one is the quality of our thoughts. Though the metabolic pathways need to be better understood, it is a fact that negative thoughts make the body more acid. This means that one can be eating an alkaline-forming vegetarian diet but still be generating an excess of acids. The implications of all this is that positive thoughts and a minimum of negative thoughts indeed have a profound effect on our metabolism and physiology.

The other factor that influences our pH in addition to our food consumption and thoughts is our physical activity level. We can be eating a primarily alkaline forming diet, be exercising excessively and not resting enough and we will become too acid It is also possible to become too alkaline on an alkaline-forming diet if the physical activity level is not maintained sufficiently. Some meditator types experience this imbalance when they sit for meditation most of the day and do not get up and move around.

What makes food to be acidizing or alkalizing agent dependent on the mineral content in the particular food. Most fruits and vegetables have more of the alkaline-forming minerals of calcium, potassium, sodium, iron and magnesium than they do the acid-forming minerals of phosphorus, chlorine, and iodine. Animal foods such as beef, chicken, fish, eggs have more phosphorus, chlorine and iodine than they do calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron and are therefore acid-forming.

There is sometimes confusion about whether so-called "acid" fruits such as oranges and lemons are acid or alkaline. It is true that oranges, lemons and other acid fruits have naturally occurring organic acids (citric, malic, etc.),but if the fruit is well-grown and thus possesses the normal stores of alkaline minerals that the tree's roots have extracted from the soil, then the alkalinity of these minerals will be more significant than the acid effect of these organic acids. The overall effect will be then be alkaline.

However, if the orange or lemon is not well-grown it will not have picked up a sufficient amount of alkaline minerals to offset the effects of the organic acids. Most commercially grown fruits and vegetables are either grown on deficient soil that does not have enough alkaline minerals available, or are picked prematurely, which does not give the plant or fruit time to collect enough alkaline minerals.

hmm.. still pening after readin this...

"Animal foods such as BEEF, CHICKEN, FISH, EGGS have more phosphorus, chlorine and iodine than they do calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron and are therefore ACID-forming. "

betul ke? i always tot that these category of food contains "neutral" ph level...

and abt the "orange & lemon" theory.. even confusing than b4!! :? if most lemons in the market are grown on deficient soil or are picked prematurely, then isn't it we are running the risk of too muc acidic food in our body.. it seems that most food contains acidic agents...

hmm, then i shld thrwo away my lunch!! soooo hungry :cry:

aiyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo celaka punya spider.. what it means.. disregard the pH of the food, the minerals content in the food will determine whether or not it is an alkalizing or acidizing agent to our body!! Meat can have pH slightly alkaline or neutral, but the meneral contents in the meat such as in beef (phosphorus, chlorine and iodine) making it an acidizing agent. If your blood level is too acidic, you get cancer easier.. you can either change your food intake to alkalizing-food (not the pH of the food), or just directly taking pure mineral suppliments! that is such as --calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron. ah.. hope this help Tongue

else i potong ur kelapa out!

spid3r_w3bs · 27-Dec-2004, 04:05 PM

haha.. u must be staying too long overseas, haha i don't mind having my kelapa chop off.. hehe can't enjoy pina colada then..

druidy · 27-Dec-2004, 10:46 PM

:lol: :lol: pina only for bernard Tongue

not suitable for you hehehe.. and he likes it shaken not stirred. Tongue

spid3r_w3bs · 28-Dec-2004, 08:57 AM

We know most people like babies.. but what if you and your partner cant have baby the natural way? what would you do?

still got other way to have baby, like lab-baby or if u think this is unethical, then u can always adopt baby. i have a friend who both have problem having kid, she said, "why bother about paying so much for scientific way to make baby, why not just adopt one. there's so many unfortunate children needing a home. it will be much meaningful to provide care for them." now she and her husband has 3 children, two adopted and one is from his previous marriage. yet they live very much like a happy family even tho skin color is different.

your friend is very easy going. for me, I would want my own kids.. If I can not give birth, I will try lab-baby, after all it is your own egg and sperm.

one more issue, you know some people carry "defect" DNA, and has a high chance of getting a cacat baby, genetically disease or a low chance of survival. Do you think they should still try their chance to have baby?

yes, as long as both partners are emotionally prepared with any bad news that may be. cos even tho there's a chance that the baby will be normal, parents still have to think of a darker side, in which what if the baby turned out to have some disabilities?.. will they still love and care for the baby? or will they leave the baby at orphanage? having a disabled child (mentally or/and physically) can be stressful and requires patience and understanding. however, most doctors do not encourage these group of couple to have child of their own, but advice them to go for lab baby, since 'defect' DNA can be removed.

hmm.. lab baby very interesting.. hehe.. if can i want my baby to have blue eyes!! haha.. so cool...

druidy · 16-Jan-2005, 09:07 PM

thats very true hor, but then in the lab, they can do anything to the eggs and sperm.. they can create many, and then kill some of them to keep only a few.. will that means they kill life too? cos, imagine if they put every single eggs they created back to many ladies' womb, wouldnt that make a lot of babies? only if they dont select them out. sometimes, come to think about it, i think it can be very cruel.
anyway, I wish my baby has blue eye too.. will be cute :lol:
