Alkaline Nutrition – helping the body heal itself naturally.

Good alkaline nutrition is enormously important if you are to maintain high levels of health, or recover your health from degenerative disease. It is probably the simplest thing that everyone can do to significantly improve their health, by promoting better body acid alkaline balance.

Good alkaline nutrition helps maintain the proper body acid alkaline balance, oxygenating and detoxifying the cells. Along with proper hydration  it will help to promote health from cellular level.

Alkaline nutrition has tremendous therapeutic power and is also vitally important to support your body if you are undergoing conventional medical treatment.

Whether you are suffering from cancers, diabetes, cardio vascular problems, arthritis, digestive problems or any of the many other degenerative diseases good alkaline nutrition is vitally important to aid recovery. Modern western diets coupled with stress and environmental pollution leads to an imbalance of the body acid alkaline system resulting in poor oxygen transfer throughout the body and less than optimum uptake of the nutrients that the body needs. For more information on body acid alkaline balance click here.

Now concentrated green food supplements such as Green Vibrance Powder or Field of Greens can supply the body with concentrated alkaline nutrition allowing the body to detoxify and heal. They should be part of any nutrition programme for anyone that is looking for improved health. Green superfoods based on concentrated green vegetables and grasses are very alkalizing. They have a high chlorophyll content which helps build healthy blood and better oxygen transfer through the body.

Drinking plenty of healthy water is also vitally important- to better hydrate the cells of the body, neutralise and flush out acidic wastes and help counteract damaging free radicals.

Drinking good alkaline water is the simplest and most cost effective thing that everyone can do to improve their health.

Alkaline Nutrition and Cancer In a scientific peer reviewed paper published in the Nutrition Journal it was stated ‘ It is becoming clearer as research continues that nutrition plays a major role in cancer. It has been estimated by the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund that 30 to 40% of all cancers can be prevented by appropriate diets, physical activity and maintenance of appropriate body weight. It is likely to be higher than this for some individual cancers'

The Abstract from this article entitled Nutrition and Cancer: A review of the evidence for an anti cancer diet by Michael S Donaldson  states:  ‘It has been estimated that 30-40 per cent of all cancers can be prevented by lifestyle and dietary measures alone. Obesity, nutrient sparse foods such as concentrated sugars and refined flour products that contribute to impaired glucose metabolism (which leads to diabetes) , low fibre intake, consumption of red meat, and imbalance of omega 3 and omega 6 fats all contribute to excess cancer risk. Intake of flax seed, especially its lignin fraction, and abundant portions of fruits and vegetables will lower cancer risks. Allium and cruciferous vegetables are especially beneficial with broccoli sprouts being the densest form of sulforophane. Protective elements in a cancer prevention diet include selenium. Folic acid, vitamin B -12, Vitamin D, chlorophyll and antioxidants such as the carotenoids (beta carotene, lycopene, lutein, cryptoxanthin). Ascorbic acid has limited effects orally , but could be very beneficial intravenously. Supplementary use of oral digestive enzymes and probiotics also has merit as anticancer dietary measures. When a diet is compiled according to the guidelines here it is likely that there would be at least a 60 to 70 per cent decrease in breast, colorectal and prostrate cancers and even a 40 -50 per cent decrease in lung cancer, along with similar reductions in cancers at other sites. Such a diet would be conducive to preventing cancer and would favour recovery from cancer as well.'

According to this Article the anti cancer diet would have:

Adequate, but not excessive calories. 10 or more servings of vegetables a day, including cruciferous and allium vegetables, vegetable juice could merit part of this goal. 4 or more servings of fruit. High in fibre No refined sugar No refined flour. Low in total fat, but containing necessary essential fatty acids. No red meat. A balanced ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fats and would include DHA Flax seed as a source of phytoestrogens Supplemented with  ~ 200µg/ day selenium Supplemented with 1,000µg/day methylcobalamin (B-12) Very rich in folic acid (from dark green vegetables) Adequate sunshine to get Vitamin D or use 1,000iu/ day supplement Very rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables including carotene, cryptoxanthin, vitamin C (from foods), vitamin E (from foods) Very rich in chlorophyll Supplemented with beneficial probiotics Supplemented with oral enzymes
