This is a great way to start your day and a good pick-me-up for the mid afternoon too. When I first started making Green Juice I just assumed it got it's name from the color of the veggies since they are all green.
As it turns out there is acually a pH scale for all of the foods we eat and how they rank in terms of acidic and alkaline. I had no idea, this is new to me...and some of the foods that I thought would be acidic, like say a lemon on more on the alkaline end, and a ripe banana is more acidic.
What I do know and am learning is the more alkaline foods we eat the better we will feel. And once you start to introduce them into your diet, you will crave more of them.
Cancers and other diseases thrive on living in bodies with a high acidic level. Most fast food and processed foods will fall into the more acidic range on the scale, where as most vegetables fall in the more alkaline range.
The highly acidic foods are Coffee, Sweetened Fruit Juice, Black Tea, Liquor, Beer, and Artificial Sweetners. These are foods that should be avoided if possible.
Since I have been eating the more alkaline foods I have lost a little weight, and have no pain from arthritus any more. And I have just begun, so I can't wait to see where this leads my body after a longer period of time.
