An alkaline flair for your diet, part two.

Filed under :Healthy Vegan, News / Resources

Now that we’ve discovered that living on the alkaline side of life has serious “benies” (benefits), how do we discover where we are in the pH scale of things?  Since we can’t readily check our blood plasma, we’ll have to settle for checking the waking state of our first and second most popular body fluids: saliva and urine.

First, you’ll need perHydron strips to test for acidity/alkalinity.  We have been fortunate to locate an affordable source for pH test strips and will be offering them for those interested.   See details at the end of the next article.  Saliva must be tested first thing after rising, after sleeping 5-6 hours and before anything at all is put into the mouth and the urine is tested twice and must be from the very first and second “tinkles” after waking.

The topics of alkaline foods and antioxidants have been in the health “limelight”, and we’d like to discover and discuss which foods are best for increasing our alkaline and antioxidant intake. We will begin to feature tips, recipes and gardening ideas for growing and using alkaline and high antioxidant ingredients.  For now, we’ll begin with alkalinizing foods that will assist in acquiring a beneficial systemic pH.

Latest developments behind the scenes…

It might have been a bit too ambitious, but some of the larger pieces of the effort are coming into play.  I was personally challenged to come up with vegan (though not exact) replacements for some of the more popular commercially available and restaurant dishes.  To accomodate this endeavor, we have now acquired the use of a commercial kitchen to be able to videotape the preparation of these and other dishes, and be able to contemplate some light weight catering.
