Dr. Ann Wigmore's Raw Living Foods Lifestyle

To replenish and sustain your proper alkaline and acid reserves, try to eat 80% of your foods from the alkaline list and 20% from the acid forming list of organic raw foods:

NOT RECOMMENDED:

Salt (all types), refined sugar, peanuts
Barley, rice (basmati, brown, white, etc).
Alcoholic beverages
Oats
Coffee, tobacco, vinegar, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
These are not only acid-forming but cause excessive mucous: meat & eggs

Alkaline-Forming Activities

Physical:
Moderate sunshine, proper rest/sleep, deep breathing of fresh air
Fasting and under-eating, relaxation, soothing music, moderate exercise, adequate water intake

Emotional and Mental:
Laughter, releasing processes, self-esteem

Acid-Forming Activities

Physical:
Cooking and processing food, lack of rest/sleep, lack of oxygen, overeating (too much, too often), stress, noise, excessive or no exercise, dehydration

Emotional and mental:
Anger, denial, confusion, fear

Magnesium rich foods:
wheatgrass juice, dark greens, nuts, seeds, fruits, legumes, vegetables

Potassium rich foods:
cantaloupes, strawberries, green beans, brussels sprouts, bananas

Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina in their wonderful book, Becoming Raw indicate that when plant foods are juiced or blended, fermented or sprouted, cells are broken, releasing phytase.

All of these processes allow the release of bound calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc from these phytate-mineral complexes so that our bodies can easily extract and absorb the minerals when the food reaches the intestine."

To replenish and sustain your proper alkaline and acid reserves, try to eat 80% of your foods from the alkaline list and 20% from the acid forming list of organic raw foods: We want you to consider adding your local alkaline foods to our list. Please let us know your favorites by leaving them as comments, below.

A wonderful naturopath in Hurricane, Utah shared how he walks through meadows and supermarkets and when he finds himself staring at a particular colored flower, fruit or vegetable, he realizes that his natural selection has picked something that he is deficient in.

The book Biological Transmutation, by the French genius Kirvran, teaches how our bones are made not from calcium (even though they have calcium in them) but from potassium, magnesium and silica-containing foods which pick up hydrogen, oxygen and carbon from free floating elements in our bodies and the combination of those turn into bone calcium.

We should not be taking TUMS, or calcium supplements in any form, but should just be restricting our protein intake to 2-3 ounces of those foods at a time, and if we just eat a variety with a plant based diet, we will get everything we need in a balanced order.

Peace and Love be with You,
