Self Growth; Your Acid Alkaline Balance

by Lloyd christie

  • How to improve your health and Performance with a alkaline diet
  • What are the effects of an over acid diet

The big man Tony Robbins first introduced me to the science of acid /alkaline foods. He explained how an over acid diet can really throw you off tract, effecting a person psychology and performance. This was great advice but ” I wished I had known about these years earlier”.

Here’s a few a quick Facts about acid to help get things into prospective

  • 1 can of cola contains about 9 teaspoonful of white sugary. It takes around 33 glasses of water to neutralize 1 glass of cola.
  • The good news is that when you’re too acidic your body tries to get more alkaline, the bad news is that your body sometimes creates fat to protect the major organs from acid attract.

- This may be why some people struggle with their weight despite not eating a lot of food, this is because the body creates and holds onto fat for protection from acid.

In the Long term Bones can become brittle and decayed. The body tries to correct this ph problem by using the minerals in your bones and teeth the restore the body’s pH – this is bad news for your bones and teeth because they get the life sucked out of them. If you ever asked the question why do some people shrink as they get older, you know the reason now, its Acid attack.

A couple  of weeks we Spoke about Clown food AKA – food, in this  where’re going to look at the effects of alkaline/ acid foods and the effects they have on your mind body and psychology Every food/thing we put in our bodies acts like a drug. This means there is a physical effect on the body; there’s know getting away from this, ITS THE LAW.

Those affect will either be

  • Heating the body up (acid forming)
  • Neutralizing (balancing/cleaning)
  • Cooling the body down (alkalising)

Toxic life style -

In my early twenty I was managing a store in Wimbledon, at this it was normal to eat fast food, chocolate bars, crisps, soft drinks smoking cigarettes on a daily. Most days after work I would hit the pub. It was also normal to smoke weed and drink at the weekends, I would have smoke during the week, but even then I found it had too much of an effect on my performance at work. When I smoked felt good, I was getting high. But was I really getting high! Or was I getting Low, I noticed, Clouded slow thinking, laziness, it took a lot of energy to get my ass into gear, which was a learning experience in its self. I had to pay a heavy price for this habit.

Physically I would feel a general discomfort all over, this was a side effect of a toxic life style . When I had to do things outside of my comfort zone, I was also irritable and sensitive. At this time I was still trying to teach my self to read/write – this life style was a major obstacle and weight to progress.  This Toxic life style throw my mind into a state of unconsciousness (all forms of learning or higher thinking took a colossal effort and injection of will power).  All in all I was screwing up the chemistry set that is my body.

Here’s the effects of that life style

  • My mind was clouded
  • Thought/ mental Agility become slow
  • Energy lessened

Acid relationships, Like attracts like

You’ll notice that when you live a toxic/acid life style you attract other toxic people, if your a smokers you’ll attract smokers, if you take drugs whether hard or soft you’ll attract other drug users, if your a drinker you’ll attract other drinker, if you like junk food you’ll find your self dining with other people who munch clown food. Birds of a feather flock together.

Alkalising mind and body

Tool of personal development I used in the acid/alkaline war

  • Cutting out and lowering sugar achool intake

Cleaning the body with food and food supplements

  • Aloe Vera
  • Spirulina
  • Wheat Grass
  • Raw Green juices, like Cucumber and spinach

Alkalising exercises

  • Meditation
  • Yoga
  • Qi gong

In my experiences an over Acid life style can lead to the mind/Body becoming Over toxic. Which is not beneficial to personal growth Detoxing / alkalising will lead to improved mental functioning, This takes discipline because acid foods tend to be addictive, so in detoxing, I think it is necessary to come at it like a Jedi. That means having discipline and a well considered detox plan, and to be kind to yourself Like a mother, meaning not to be to hard on your self if you break your detox/diet, or you find it hard to let go of addictive or acidic food, the point is to make gradual progress and learn from your experience.

Here are some useful video’s and articles on Acid / Alkaline and

Llyod,

You just blew me away. I didn’t have a clue that soda had that much sugar in it. The reason this shocks me is used to be a heavy soda drinker. I am a pretty young guy but I have noticed that my health is not as good as I would like it to be. My memory is lacking, my energy level is depressing and now it all makes sense. This was a huge help to me. Thanks!

As much as I like to think I keep fit (exercise, walking, etc), and that I don’t smoke, do drugs, and rarely drink alcohol, I admit I have one area which still needs work. My diet.

I’m prone to eating junk food occasionally, but I guess it’s the other food I eat as well, that is filled with acids and other bad stuff. I enjoy my food, and it works out alright for me, but I do wander what ingesting more alkaline would do.

Might be worth a shot ;-)

Hey Lloyd,
I also learned about the acid / alkaline balance as well from Tony Robbins. This was about seven years ago. I thought by now more people would be on to this but they are not.

There are some really good Green Drinks at most local health food stores. I did the whole Ph test strip thing and everything and I never did get my Ph above 7, but I was close.

Are you able to keep your body alkaline?

Hey Justin, Tony Robbins is great, I love that man – not in a gay way or anything, his made such a great contribution to the world, I want to do the same. I have never done a Ph test, but am big into juicing, in fact green juice.

Great stuff man! I love this topic. And I’m not just saying. I take 2-3 shots of Apple Cider Vinegar daily to balance my bodies PH. You would think that this made my body extremely acidic, but the Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the miracle food products.

Also, because of some of my studies my wife and I made the decision to not follow the normal immunization schedule that’s packing live bacteria into our children, turning their minds into mush. Nope, not in the Allen household. I’m a researcher, so there’s not much that gets past me when it comes to health and especially for my kids. And I’m deeply researched into the stuff that’s aimed towards us too (with the intent to harm and control our minds) …(that’s another topic).

But anyway, I just wanted to share how much this topic matters to me.

I think the way you broke it down in a simple form is great, people can read, absorb and do further research to substantiate the facts that you shared here.

I haven’t had a chance to watch the vids now, but I will tonight.

Thanks for keeping us laced L. I always look forward to your work. Let’s jump on skype of something sometime soon.

PEACE

Hey J, Thanks for bring apple Cider to my attention, It has some great benefits, I just bought a bottle, I agree with you about the immunization and health thing. Your right to be keeping your eyes open about the stuff that can do us more harm than good , we all need to do our research. I think the public need know what companies are giving us to put in to our bodies,

Yes J the skype coming soon maybe in the next week or two when a get a phone – Peace King

Hi Llody!
This is an incredible article! Seriously. I can relate to a lot of what you’ve shared here in my own experience. The worst part is that I’m totally addicted to sugar. I’ve managed to cut back considerably, but ever so often I’ll binge on sweets. And whenever that happens I can see a difference immediately. Sugar is a silent killer for the body. Thanks for shedding light on this very important issue.
Hope you are well!
