Things with Substance

The tip of today is to eat things with substance. Stay away from things that are white--white sugar, flour, rice, crackers, bread, etc. The things that break down slowly into the building blocks for the body are best because the body deals better with gradual release of sugars into the body than with surges. 80% of your diet should be made up of alkalizing foods. The best resource I found for information about this is the website-- ph-ion.com. You can get a printout of acid producing foods as well as alkalizing foods. It is also the cheapest source that I found for Ph strips to test your saliva or urine to see if your body is slightly basic like it should be. Most people who develop cancer have acidic balances.
To simplify and summarize the foods that contribute to normal balance (slightly basic), most vegetables are good. Grains and fruits generally make the body acid, except citrus fruits which seem to be neutral. Milk products are questionable. They are put in both the acid producing and the basic depending on whom you read. Meat, poultry and fish make the body acid. There are a few exceptions to these generalities.

The spiritual counterpart to this is to be careful what you allow into your mind and spirit. Many things on television and in books are like the white sugar and flour--empty or damaging. Also, balance in our lives is key to our lives in all areas. The Bible, good music, encouraging people, nature, good books and fulfilling work help keep us in balance.
