acid and alkaline = for a balanced body.

I dont think anyone realises what they should know about acid and alkaline

Your health depends on an alkaline environment, created by eating foods such as tomatoes, avocados and green vegetables…striking the optimum 80/20 balance and regulating your body’s acid/alkaline chemistry through simple changes in diet can result in weight loss, increased stamina and strength,a stronger immune system and a greater sense of wellbeing.’

When we talk about eating alkaline foods or starting an alkaline diet we are referring to consuming those foods and drink which have an alkaline effect on the body. This effect is based upon the mineral content of the food and therefore the ash residue that remains after our foods are consumed. Some foods leave an acid ash, whereas others leave an alkaline ash. Conveniently for us, it just so happens that the foods that contain alkaline minerals (and leave an alkaline ash) are all the foods we already know are good for us: low sugar foods, fresh vegetables etc. And the foods that contain minerals that leave an acid ash? You guessed it, sweets, alcohol, saturated fats, meats, dairy etc.

Of course, everybody is different - but most of us should aim to eat 70-80% alkaline foods and a maximum of 20-30% acid forming foods.

This does not have to be measured in calories, grams or anything technical, just look at your plate! Is 70% of the food on it alkalising? And for the other 30%? You can do with this what you like (how acid is up to you - dependent upon the results you want), but feel free to go for some oily fish, wholemeal pasta or wild rice for example.

If you would like a food chart of the acid and alkaline please telephone and we can send it to you free of charge in the UK or you can call in for it to help you.

Green Tea

Eileen in Health News, Beauty Tips

I have been doing some research into vitamins, I have read that “Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that inhibit the growth of cancer and protect externally against DNA damage induced by ultraviolet light. It also contains bioflavonoids, which protect us against infection”.

“Due to its thermogenic and anti-oxidant properties, Green Tea Extract has also shown great results as a fat burner and weight loss supplement. Unlike other fat burning supplements, Evolution Green Tea Extract does not have the side effect of raising your heart rate”. by Evolution Slimming Limited.

I would love to know if anyone else has comments on this and has tried them also as they are good for metabolism and hense used as fat burner (see above)

EXERCISE -ARE YOU OUT THERE YOU LAZY PEOPLE - MOTIVATE YOURSELF

Eileen in Health News

I ALWAYS SAY “IF YOU DONT USE IT YOU LOSE IT”. What do you think, I would love to exchange your thoughts on this subject.

I also believe that majority of people dont appreciate their body. ITS YOURS, ITS THE ONLY ONE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SO LOOK AFTER IT. You can always go and buy a dress, a new car, but why dont you look after yourself as you would you material items that you cherish. Love yourself and look after your body inside and out.

Specific Benefits of Exercise? GET UP AND START TODAY.

Firstly = Longevity and Aging

Exercise, at any age , can add healthy and active years to one’s life. Studies continue to show that it is never too late to start exercising and that even small improvements in physical fitness can significantly lower the risk of death. Simply walking regularly can prolong life in the elderly. Moderately fit people, even if they smoke or have high blood pressure, have a lower mortality rate than the least fit. Resistance training is important for the elderly, because it is the only form of exercise that can slow and even reverse the decline in muscle mass, bone density, and strength. Adding workouts that focus on speed and agility may be even more protective for older people. Flexibility exercises help reduce the stiffness and loss of balance that accompanies aging.

There are more benefits. Write in and tell me what you think they are and how you would get motivated.
