Improve Your Health Through Acid / Alkaline Re-Balancing

by Kolbjørn Borseth of Aromantic

When food is metabolized by the body the end products are either acidic or alkaline. Acids are compounds of elements which give away hydrogen ions, Alkalines are compounds of elements which attract hydrogen ions. The body needs both Acids and Alkalines for its metabolism but we have more difficulty getting rid of Acids than Alkalines. It is therefore easy for an accumulation of excess acids to occur which can cause us to become ill. To avoid this, aim for a diet which is 70% Alkaline and 30% Acid.

The following table of Alkaline / Acidity was developed by the Swedish man Ragnar Berg in the 1930’s.

To achieve a more alkaline diet you can consider replacing the following items in your diet:
