Balancing Our Lives with Alkaline Fruits and Veggies
Courtesy of: Supreme Master Television Welcome viewers to Vegetarianism: The Noble Way of Living. We have been meaning to ask you, “How are you feeling?” Are you happy, healthy, and ready to save the world? Or feeling a little sluggish now and again? Well, we might have a great solution for you! Today, our Association members, Machael and Caroline explain how to balance and revive our bodies with alkaline plant-based foods. We are here today to share with you some tips on how to restore your energy and optimize your meditation practice with acid-alkaline balanced diet. Machael, what happens if there is no acid-alkaline balance in the body? Well, we all know that when the body is unbalanced, we start seeing and feeling the signs of diseases, fatigue. For example, low energy, fatigue, body pains, lack of concentration. Most of all, we lack energy to practice our meditation. Machael, you talked about acid-alkaline balance diet, could you explain? Well, acid-alkaline balance diet is about eliminating toxin, reverse acid buildup in the system, and reclaiming health balance. All these will help you to gain stamina and concentration to practice, to stay longer in your meditation practice. acid-alkaline balance diet is about balancing the acidity and alkalinity in your body. If the function of the diet is to bring back balance, does it mean we are imbalance? Yes, most people have a lot of acidity in their body and the goal here is to increase the alkalinity in the body which is the opposite of acidity. What does acid-alkaline balance mean for the body? Well, acid-alkaline balance tells us a lot of substances the body uses to build building block. Like amino acids, fat, sugar, vitamins, and minerals. All these substances are important for the body. All these are classified into two major groups: acid and alkaline. What does it have to do with the pH of the body? Well, if the body has a pH level 7, which means the body has obtained or achieved a balance of acidity and alkalinity in the body. The ideal pH level for the body is 7.4. So, it is a little bit more on the alkaline side? Exactly. You’re on the side of alkaline, which means the body functions well in this environment. Machael, now could you give us an example of alkaline foods? Well, these are all alkaline foods. We have celery, cucumber, carrot, and parsley. I will just give you a piece of cucumber, and then you tell us what you think It is fresh, but it’s very neutral; the taste is very neutral. There’s no stinging sensation on the tongue. That is the taste of an alkaline. Okay, thank you. We will make some experiments about some drinks, popular drinks. But Machael, could you please tell us about the chart here? Okay, this chart represents the pH scale. Which means from 0 to 7 is acidic, and from 7 to 14 is alkaline and 7 is neutral. So, the closer you get to 0 is more acid, and the further you get to 14 is more alkaline Okay, and we have a chart here with colors, so when we make the test it will give us a result with colors. Could you explain the colors? Exactly. With litmus paper, we test on all the drinks. From the test, we use this to compare which one is an acid. So, the color will change in function of its acidity, from 1 to 12. The 1 is more acid on this chart, and the further to 12 is alkaline. So Machael you will test all of these drinks. This is a lychee drink, a cola, a commercial veggie juice, a commercial orange juice, a commercial apple juice, a clear soft drink or a pop, this is a natural spring water – very rich in minerals, and this is de-mineralized water. You’ll add some pH booster to show us what it does, right? (Exactly.) So, could we start? Yeah. It is important because whatever we eat and drink has an effect on our system. So, could we try what it does in our body? (Exactly.) I am very curious about that. We will see if this is an acid or alkaline? So this is a lychee drink. Here we go, in 30 second or less than that. So with this we will be comparing to the chart, which is the pH level chart. It looks orange It looks orange, so let’s see which is one is orange here. This one? It means that it is very acid Exactly, it has a pH level of 2. Could we try the other ones? So, let’s see cola. Here we go, and within a few seconds… Is it orange, as well? Let’s go and see. That is an orange! So, this is a pH of 2. Is very, very acidic as well. In fact, it takes 32 cups of alkaline water to neutralize the acidity from drinking 1 cup of soda with a pH level of 2.5. So these drinks basically don’t help in the balance of acid and alkaline? These are all acid foods. What about the natural spring water? Rich in minerals, right? That’s what the bottle says. Rich in calcium and magnesium. Exactly. So, let’s try this and see. Oh, this is a different color! This is a different color. So let’s compare this… It is more on the yellow side. More on the yellow side It turns green. It turns green, so which means? Which means it’s a perfect pH. Perfect pH of 7, a balanced pH. Wow. So, is it good for us? That’s a very good liquid for the body. Great! Let’s try the de-mineralized water. The de-mineralized water Is it going to be acid? This has no color. No color means it is neutral and it has no minerals in it. What about adding some pH booster to that water? What does it do? There is what we call the pH booster that raises the pH roughly to 12, or between 9 to 12; that’s really good for the body. This is just to have it for about a month, just to clean all the acidity in the body, and then you can start taking alkaline foods. So, let’s try and see how it looks like. What we’re doing here, we’ll be putting 3 or 4 drops into this, and that’s all that we need. 1, 2, 3, 4. Just have to shake it a little bit, and you have to test it. You see the change getting to the pH of 7. It is becoming a pH of 8; so, it is between the pH of 7 and 8 So actually, the pH booster boosts from acid to alkaline. A little bit more. A little bit more of alkaline, which is good for the body, and it is made of vegetables. Machael, I would like to see again the test with the water with pH booster in it because I didn’t see the difference on the paper. Could you show me how different is it really on the chart? Okay, let’s us add 1or 2 drops to it and see; 1, 2. So now, let’s give it a little shake here to mix it. Here we go… Oh, wow, this is instant! Very clear, wow. Excellent, this is a pH of 12. So, that’s why it’s called a booster, right? That’s called the booster. So when it gets into the system, it begins to clean all the acid in your system that brings you roughly between 8 and 9, which is very healthy. Machael, why not go out into the garden to concentrate on God’s beauties? Sure, that’s a good idea. Let’s go! Well come back to Vegetarianism: The Noble Way of Living, here on Supreme Master Television. Machael, could you tell me, how acids form in the body? It is because we take too much of acid foods and drink too much acid drinks. Then, we have our environment: the air pollution, the chemicals we use for the food processing, and then, the products we use for our house cleaning. They all contain acid that affects our body. And how could you tell that you‘re suffering from acidification? There are several tests that can be done, but physical discomfort tells you that you’re suffering from acidification. The examples are your joints pains, your skin rashes, your headaches, your muscle pains, your fatigue, and lack of concentration and indigestion also tells you that you’re suffering from acidification. An acidic body is much more susceptible to illnesses, and becomes a breeding ground for viruses, germs, and bacteria. Animal meats are extremely acidic, while many fruits and vegetables have healthy alkaline properties. Machael, could you tell us how we could heal the body from acid problems?. First of all, we have to eat a lot of alkaline foods and stop eating acid foods. Then, we have to drink a lot of spring water. Spring water contains a lot of calcium, magnesium, potassium; that’s really good for the body to alkalize it. On top of the mineral water, is there anything we can do? Yes, there is one thing we can do is by using juice from fresh fruits. And what does it do to the body? Well, there are so many kinds of juicing, but this particular one we will be doing today is for a cleanse of the system. It’s to get rid of all the acid in the system, to alkalize the body; it really helps you to be detoxify the body. It is very good to take it early in the morning when you wake up, about 30 minutes before you eat any solid food or before taking your cereal or any food you want to take for breakfast. Okay, could you show us? We need a juicing machine, and what ingredients are we using? Okay, for this particular one, we need apple, carrots, and parsley. We start with the apple by cutting it into small narrow wedges. This is enough. Yes, we start with the apple first, and we put the machine on. At the same time, we can add a little bit of parsley. Parsley is also an alkaline food. A little bit more. This is the time we add the carrots. After you finish juicing, you just have to mix it very well. I can’t wait to taste that! How does taste like? Wonderful! It has a sweet taste from the apples and it’s so good! I love it! So, this is the road to health, right? This is what detoxifies the body, (Good!) and alkalizes the whole system for the day. (Good!)
