Proteins are very important to our bodies. It isn't just for bodybuilders who use them to gain muscle mass. Those who are sick use them to rebuild damaged tissue and even in normal states
our body uses protein for many different tasks.

Proteins are made of amino acids that are folded together. There are essential amino acids - those that our body cannot make
and non essential amino acids - those that our body can make. Proteins that are made up of all the essential amino acids are said to be complete while those that lack in one or more essential amino acid are incomplete. Complete proteins come from sources such as meat
eggs
cheese
dairy and soy. Incomplete proteins come mainly from vegetable sources with the one exception being soy.

The ideal source should be complete proteins. For most people that isn't a problem. If you are worried about fat intake
try lean cuts of beef
chicken and turkey. For vegetarians whose main source comes from incomplete proteins
getting a variety of vegetables and whole grains throughout the day will ensure that all essential amino acids are consumed. Also
using soy protein (which is the only complete vegetable source of protein) is very beneficial.

Our body’s internal system needs a PH of just above 7.0; our immunologic
enzymatic and repair mechanisms all function at their best in this alkaline range.
If our body becomes over acidic
i.e. under a PH of 7
you may start to experience a combination of these symptoms;
Low energy
fatigue
Nasal congestion
Hives
Muscle Pain
Weak nails
dry skin
dry hair
Frequent colds
flu and infection
Headaches


If you have these symptoms and eat foods which create acid in the body
you may need to balance it with an alkaline diet.
What foods cause acid in the body?
There is a whole list of foods that cause the body to be over-acidic: dairy and dairy substitutes
animal meat
most grains
chickpeas
condiments
aspartame
prunes
chocolate
peanuts
alcohol and quite a few other types of foods.

To balance your PH
the remedy is simple and logical; eat more alkaline causing foods.
To name but a few of these foods
there is; watermelon
lime
mango
most vegetables
vegetable juices
almonds
sprouts
avocados and green tea.


When you’re body becomes more alkaline
the changes that will take place are truly amazing! It will seem magical
but it’s all perfectly normal. You will feel how we all have the right to feel
we just don’t know it.

Benefits include:

Are these benefits worth pursuing? I think so
and you are crazy if you don’t agree with me! Fortunately
it is not hard to slowly alkalise your body. Take it one day at a time
add more and more green food to your diet
reduce the number of cups of coffee you have every day and you’ll soon reap the benefits.
