are you acidic!!!

Acidity of the body tissues means death! The life processes and therefore all the essential phases pertaining to health, well -being,and resistance are predominantly alkaline. The human body represents a precarious organization of matter. Chemical study of the body materials reveals eighty parts alkaline and twenty parts acid. This relationship of four to one is the basic secret of health, normal functional activities, and efficient age.

All our practices, habits,customs,indulgences,or deficiencies,both physical and mental,either promote or disturb this eighty-twenty ratio.

However, the most determining factors for acid or for alkali formation are contained in food and drink.These are

ACID FORMING ALKALI FORMING

Phosphorus potassium
Sulphur Sodium
Silicon Calcium
Chlorine Magnesium
Fluorine Iron
Iodine Manganese
Arsenic Aluminium
Bromine Copper
Lithium
Zinc
Nickel

These several mineral elements are so arranged in the different foods of use as to separate such foods into two classes-the alkali forming foods,and the acid forming foods.hence this table-
