[HelenH]

Please could somebosy advise me i have recently experienced an intense kidney infection the first illness i have had in years. I belive it to be because of an huge acid intake the day it came on ??

the thing i really need to understand fully is ...when i cook my vegetables does it make the organics greens acidic. and is this absolutle or is it on a sliding scale i can not fully understand the rules.

does coconut oil effect the tyroid in loosing weight?

Here is a simple recipe for you. Try it maybe it works for you.

Ingredients:

½ blender of fresh, raw apple cider, or nut milk

¼ cup flax seed, ground to a fine meal

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ cups berries: blueberries, blackberries, cherries, or raspberries (slightly acidic, so it’s optional)

1 avocado

1 heaping teaspoon SuperGreens, or your favorite green powder

3 heaping tablespoons fresh bee pollen

1 tablespoon lecithin liquid, or granules

3 tablespoons flax seed oil, or white coconut butter

1 tablespoon raw, organic honey (slightly acidic, so optional)

Pinch Celtic sea salt or Real Salt

Preparation:

Grind the flax seeds along with cinnamon in a coffee grinder and set aside. Fill your blender with the raw apple cider, or nut milk. Add all other ingredients and turn blender on low until the mixture is moving smoothly. Then blend well on high for 2 minutes until creamy. That’s it! Makes a meal for 2, or a snack for 4.

[Hydrate]

Depending on the type of water in which you decide to cook your vegetables may determine the acidity of your food. Vegetables tend to absord the water in which they are cooked and if the water is acidic or contains lye, chlorine, flouride...your vegetables will absorb them as well. Some water is acidic, most water that is municiple (city) water is nuetral, but has chlorine, lye, and other chemicals to raise the pH to 7.0....then there are other types of water that is alkaline and free of these chemicals. Another factor in maintaining a proper acid/alkaline diet is proper hydration. Many ailments and degenerative diseases are due to chronic dehydration, which can also lead to an acidic state.

Generally the cooked food is good for health but the water used to cook should be safe. The water should have the perfect quantity of chlorine, flouride to avoid the kidney problems. Sometimes because of the water the problem of stone sin kidney may cause. The food should be cooked at that level where it does not loss its nutrition otherwise it become useless.
