Foods Causing Acidosis... It turns out that the most consumed and seemingly safe foods actually produce an acidic reaction in the body and lead to the greatest loss of bone mineral density and muscle mass.
These include dairy products, animal proteins, and grains.
Why is consuming a lot of dairy products not helping to prevent osteoporosis? What is the real cause of osteoporosis? And how can you change your diet to rule out osteoporosis conditions?
(Read Why Acidic Foods Cause Osteoporosis)
Four Causes of Nutritional Acidosis How does acidification of the body occur?
Considering diets associated with acid-forming foods, some of the scientific evidence seems counterintuitive at first glance. For example, foods that are acidic and alkaline in taste are often not acid-forming or alkaline-forming foods.
There is a subtle but significant difference between the products. Acidic foods are those that produce a lower or more acidic pH. (Recall: acids have a value of numbers below pH7.0, and alkalis have values above pH 7.0. The very same pH value of 7.0 is neutral).
C Butter fruits and tomatoes taste sour, but they give an alkaline PH value that is safe for the kidneys. Thus, if foods taste sour does not necessarily make the pH of the body acidic, Why then does acidosis occur?
First, fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium salts and are a natural buffer against acidification of the body..
Some of the foods we often consume now deprive us of potassium, a mineral that protects against hypertension and stroke. According to research Dr. Loren Cordain (link http://thepaleodiet.com/paleo-diet-revised/) - author of the "paleo diet" In the past, people ate foods with a ratio of potassium to sodium of 10: 1, and he considers this ratio to be optimal for our health.
Today, due to the consumption of large amounts of salty processed foods and fast foods, combined with low consumption of fruits and vegetables, the ratio is 3: 1 in favor of sodium. This destroys the normal pH of our body's acidity and makes us dependent on potassium.
Second, there is also a similar change in the consumption of naturally occurring bicarbonates.
(for example, potassium bicarbonate) in food and and an increase in chlorides in them(mainly in the form of sodium chloride or table salt). Bicarbonate is alkaline while chloride is acidic.
Chloride also constricts blood vessels, which in turn reduces blood circulation, says Sebastian (Source: Sebastian A, Frassetto LA, Morris RC. Acid-base effects of the modern Western diet: an evolutionary perspective. Ed: Alpern RJ et al. Heber SC).
Because the functioning of the body depends on healthy circulation, vasoconstriction contributes to heart disease, stroke, dementia (decreased intelligence), and probably any other degenerative disease.
Third, large amounts of animal protein (including meat, poultry, and seafood) release sulfuric acid.
And the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids also contributes to an even greater acidification of the body.
This acidic shift can be offset by a higher intake of fruits and vegetables (rich in potassium bicarbonate). But then again, most of us are malnourished or skimp on these foods.
Fourthly, grains such as wheat, rye and corn have an extremely acid-forming effect (i.e. they acidify the body),
no matter how you consume them (in the form of white bread, breakfast cereals, pasta, or whole grains.)
“Cereals are the most commonly consumed plant food for almost all civilized population,” says Sebastian, “and they account for 65% plant products that we eat. “In addition to their ability to acidify the body, grains are replacing more nutritious fruits and vegetables,” he adds.
“Indeed, consuming large amounts of grains is one of the many causes of alkaline deficiency and acidification in the body,” says Sebastian.
CONCLUSION: People eat a lot of acid-forming animal proteins, dairy products and grains.
The missing elements that alkalize the body are found in fruits and vegetables.

How to bring the pH-acidity of the body back to normal
Research shows that most of us - 68% to 91% - don't eat the five recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables (1 serving = 200-250g). By changing your eating habits in the direction of increasing the consumption of vegetables and fruits, you can bring the PH indicator back to normal.
Ever feel like your belly is bloated like a balloon after eating? Or did you feel lethargic and heavy?
Many of us are familiar with this - and although this is a fairly common phenomenon, there should be no discomfort or heaviness in the stomach after eating.
In fact, after eating, you should feel a surge of energy, freshness and readiness to conquer the world.
So, if you are suffering from unpleasant symptoms that make you regret what you have eaten, the following simple rules for combining food will benefit your body.
However, before delving into the intricacies of product compatibility, I would like to make a small reservation.
The principles presented here are just a guide to combining the right food for a healthy diet to improve your digestion, promote gut health, and alleviate existing unpleasant symptoms.
Therefore, they should not be viewed as rigid rules that must be followed for the rest of your life (although, of course, this is your right).
On the contrary, these principles only give an idea of the recommended order of food intake for better digestion and absorption of nutrients.
These rules are a simple approach to food intake and are based on how the body digests certain foods.
The right combination of foods can help improve digestion and absorption of nutrients, and can also be beneficial for indigestion and a variety of disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.
Many people also report weight loss and cleansing of their skin only after switching to combined foods.
That is why these principles of food compatibility matter: each macronutrient (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) is digested at its own rate. In addition, each of them requires the release of various digestive solutions and enzymes.
Therefore, if you consume foods with different digestive requirements with one meal, they are considered a bad combination. And it, in turn, can result in an intestinal "plug", which is characterized by symptoms such as gas formation, bloating, belching and intestinal cramps.
Acid and alkaline enzymes
Let's take a look at the proteins and carbohydrates found in a beef burger, for example.
Proteins require an acidic environment and the enzyme pepsin for digestion, while carbohydrates require an alkaline environment and the enzyme ptyalin.
Since beef and bread have different digestion requirements, eating them together produces both acidic and alkaline environments.
Acidic and alkaline environments neutralize each other, which slows down digestion and causes bloating and fatigue.
The wrong combination of foods can also "confuse" the body, requiring the release of several types of digestive enzymes at once. This further slows down digestion and causes the notorious laziness after eating, drawing more of the body's energy into digestion than is necessary.
Understanding the rules for combining food correctly also helps to maintain gut health. When digestion is slow, food can ferment for a long time in the digestive tract and begin to rot, leading to the formation of toxins.
If food is poorly absorbed, undigested particles can also enter the bloodstream, causing increased sensitivity to food.
Undigested food also feeds "unfriendly" bacteria in the gut, such as fungus, which is the cause of a variety of diseases, such as candidiasis.
On the other hand, there are products that go well together, we will talk about them below.
So, do you still think that product mix is fiction?
Let's discuss in more detail so that you can make a more informed decision about this.
How to start combining foods to improve digestion
The following basic food pairing principles go hand in hand with proper nutrition for energy and are designed to help you avoid the discomfort caused by poor digestion.
1. Eat fruits separately
Fruit pairing is not a problem. While there is nothing better than a fruity after-meal dessert, combining fruit with other foods is a sure-fire road to a digestive disaster. This is because fruit is pure sucrose, which is absorbed very quickly, within about 20-30 minutes.
Since fruits are digested faster than other foods, it is best to eat them separately.
Let's say you decide to eat a fruit salad with eggs. Eggs are a protein that takes 3-4 hours to digest. Since fruits only need 20-30 minutes, their combination with eggs will create a "plug" in the digestive tract.
For the same reason, it is best not to eat fruit after meals.
Listen to your body
The next time you have a digestive problem, try to memorize the foods that were on your plate to see if their poor pairing is to blame.
If you follow the rules for combining food, you will begin to notice an increase in vitality, improved digestion and general well-being.
So why not try combining the right foods and see if it will have a positive effect on your health?

This diet was developed by American gerontologists. In general, gerontology is the science of aging. Scientists are struggling with problems of how to slow down aging, prolong our life. It was they who developed a special nutrition system, sitting on which you not only lose weight, but also stay younger and more beautiful. If you want to prolong your youth, use the advice of doctors, because this system can become permanent, it does not imply any special efforts or hunger strikes, the menu is varied and useful.
Scientists have brought out a table in which the products for this diet are indicated, the so-called anti-age, there are 50 of them in total. They are rich in those elements that our body needs in order to fight natural aging. They contain all vitamins, flavonoids, antioxidants, essential acids, and more. These products are whitelisted. Also, scientists have compiled a blacklist. It consists of 40 foods that accelerate aging and should be avoided. And finally, there is a neutral list, which includes foods that do not affect our body in any way.
Each product has its own score. On the white list, they mean a positive effect on the body, in black, points that deduct your health. neutral products have a score of zero. Thus, combining products from different lists, you compose your own diet, which should not exceed 1500 points per week. How it works: you add points for good products and subtract products from the black list from the received amount.

Diet according to the 2nd blood group
This type of blood arose at a time when people learned to cultivate the land and get the first harvests from farming. About a third of the world's population is endowed with the second blood group. A vegetarian diet is recommended for them. Only in this case the body copes well with infectious diseases, and the gastrointestinal tract works normally.
The diet for blood group 2 (positive and negative) includes cereals, vegetables, legumes, various fruits (there are exceptions). Drinks are advised to drink green tea, coffee, red wine. We recommend clean water with lemon juice, carrot grapefruit, cherry and pineapple juices. Additionally accept vitamin complexes containing vitamins C, E and B, chromium, selenium, zinc and calcium.
The diet for the second blood group involves the moderate consumption of dairy products and sweets.
Avoid eating seafood, pickled and salted herring, caviar if you are going to follow a blood type 2 diet. Black tea, orange juice, carbonated water (sweet or unsweetened) are harmful.

Normally, the pH of human blood is maintained in the range of 7.35-7.47, despite the entry of acidic and basic metabolic products into the blood. The constancy of the pH of the internal environment of the body is a necessary condition for the normal course of life processes. Blood pH values outside these limits indicate significant disturbances in the body, and values below 6.8 and above 7.8 are incompatible with life.
Foods that reduce acidity and are alkaline (basic) contain metals (potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and calcium). They are usually high in water and low in protein. In contrast, acid-forming foods are usually high in protein and low in water. Non-metallic elements are usually found in protein.
High acidity slows down digestion
In our digestive tract, the pH value acquires the most different meanings... This is necessary for sufficient breakdown of food components. For example, our saliva in a calm state is slightly acidic. If more saliva is released during intense chewing, the pH changes and it becomes slightly alkaline. At this pH, alpha-amylase, which starts the digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth, is particularly effective.
An empty stomach has a slightly acidic pH. When food enters the stomach, stomach acid is secreted to digest the proteins it contains and kill germs. Because of this, the pH of the stomach becomes more acidic.
Bile and pancreatic secretions, having a pH of 8, give an alkaline reaction. These digestive juices require a neutral to slightly alkaline intestinal environment to function optimally.
The transition from the acidic environment of the stomach to the alkaline intestine occurs in the duodenum. So that the intake of large masses from the stomach (with abundant food) does not make the environment in the intestine acidic, the duodenum, with the help of a powerful annular muscle, the pylorus of the stomach, regulates the tolerance and amount of stomach contents allowed into it. Only after the secretions of the pancreas and gallbladder have sufficiently neutralized the "sour" food gruel, a new "entry from above" is allowed.
An excess of acids leads to illness
If a lot of acid is involved in the metabolism, the body tries to eliminate this excess in different ways: through the lungs - by exhaling carbon dioxide, through the kidneys - with urine, through the skin - with sweat and through the intestines - with feces. But when all possibilities are exhausted, acids accumulate in the connective tissue. Connective tissue in naturopathy refers to the tiny spaces between individual cells. Through these slots, the entire supply and discharge takes place, as well as a full-fledged information exchange between cells. Here, in the connective tissue, acidic metabolic waste becomes a strong hindrance. They gradually turn this tissue, sometimes called the "primeval sea" of the organism, into a real garbage dump.
Saliva: long lasting digestion
With coarse food, mixing of food gruel with gastric juice is very slow. Only after an hour or two does the pH inside the gruel drop below 5. However, at this time in the stomach, the digestion of saliva by alpha-amylase continues.
The accumulated acids in the connective tissue act as foreign bodies, creating a constant risk of inflammation. The latter can take the form of various diseases; the consequences of acidic metabolic deposits in the connective tissue are: muscle "rheumatism", fibromyalgia syndrome, as well as arthrosis. A strong deposition of toxins in the connective tissue is often visible with the naked eye: this is cellulite. This word does not only mean the typical "orange peel" for women on the buttocks, thighs and shoulders. Even the face can look “worn out” due to the deposition of toxins.
Over-oxidation of metabolism also negatively affects the fluidity of the blood. Red blood cells, passing through the peroxidized tissue, lose their elasticity, stick together and form small clots, the so-called "coin columns". Depending on the vessels in which these small blood clots appear, various ailments and disorders occur: myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, temporary disorders of cerebral circulation or local circulation in the lower extremities.
Osteoporosis is a consequence of the over-oxidation of the body, which is only now being realized. In contrast to bases, acids cannot be easily excreted from the body. They must first be balanced, "neutralized". But in order for the acid with its pH to move to the neutral region, it needs an antagonist, a base that binds the acid.
When the capacity of the body's buffer system has been exhausted, it introduces mineral salts with an alkaline reaction, primarily calcium salts, to neutralize acids. The main reserve of calcium in the body is bones. It is, as it were, a quarry of the organism, from where it can extract calcium in case of over-oxidation. With a tendency to osteoporosis, it makes no sense to focus only on supplying the body with calcium, without having achieved the acid-base balance.
Chronic acid overloading of the body often manifests itself in the form of thin transverse cracks in the tongue.
Over-acidification protection
There are two ways to protect the body from over-acidification: either by limiting the intake of acid-containing foods, or by stimulating the excretion of acids.
Nutrition. The principle of acid-base balance must be observed in the diet. However, a slight overweight of the reasons is recommended. For normal metabolism, we need acids, but let acid-containing food simultaneously serve as a supplier of many other vital substances, such as high-grade flour or dairy products. Which of food products contain acids and which - bases, it will be discussed below.
Drink. The kidneys are one of the main excretory organs through which acids are excreted. However, acids can only leave the body when a sufficient amount of urine is produced.
Motion. Physical activity promotes the removal of acids with sweat and respiration.
Alkaline powder... In addition to the above measures, valuable alkaline mineral salts can be administered to the body in the form of an alkaline powder, which is produced, in particular, in pharmacies.
Acidic, alkaline and neutral foods
Which foods are acidic and which are alkaline?
Acidic foods
Metabolic acid is provided by so-called acid suppliers. These are, for example, foods containing protein such as meat, fish, cheese, cottage cheese, and legumes like peas or lentils. Natural coffee and alcohol also belong to suppliers of acids.
The so-called base eaters also have an acidic effect. These are foods that the body has to spend valuable bases to break down. The most famous "eaters of grounds" - sugar and its processed products: chocolate, ice cream, sweets etc. The bases also absorb white flour products - white bread, confectionery and pasta, and hard fats and vegetable oils.
Metabolic Acid Suppliers: meat, sausage, fish, seafood and crustaceans, dairy products (cottage cheese, yogurt and cheese), grain and cereal products (bread, flour), legumes, Brussels sprouts,artichokes , asparagus, natural coffee, alcohol (primarily liqueurs), egg white.
Eaters of bases that cause over-acidification of the body: white sugar, confectionery, chocolate, ice cream, grains and cereals such as bread, flour, noodles, canned food, ready-to-eat foods, "fast food", lemonade.
Alkaline foods
The bases are also spent on the digestion of grain products, cottage cheese and yogurt. The latter, however, supply the body with vital important vitamins and trace elements.
Alkaline products are, in particular,
- potato,
- goat and soy milk,
- cream,
- vegetables,
- ripe fruits,
- leaf salad,
- ripe fruits,
- greenery,
- cereals,
- egg yolk,
- nuts,
- herbal teas.
- mineral alkaline waters
Neutral food
Neutral products include
- cold pressed vegetable oils,
- butter,
- water.
Balanced diet
For balanced nutrition Your diet should always combine acidic and alkaline foods.
A breakfast of white bread, jam, sausage and natural coffee can be your first acid attack of the day for your metabolism. The following combination is more useful and less burdensome for metabolism: a small portion of raw grain muesli with milk and fruit, a slice of coarse grain bread with butter and green curd, herbal or not too strong black tea.
For lunch, instead of the usual combination of meat and noodles, canned vegetables and a dessert containing sugar, you can eat for the first alkaline vegetable soup, a small portion of meat, fish, poultry or game with potatoes, stewed vegetables and fruit cottage cheese - the body will keep them longer good shape... As for acidic foods, you should choose those that do not contain "empty" calories, but biologically valuable.
Alkaline soups... As simple as it is effective, the ability to introduce valuable bases into the body is alkaline soups. To prepare them, boil about a cup of finely chopped vegetables in 0.5 liters of water. After about 10 minutes, crush the vegetables into puree. Add cream, sour cream and fresh herbs to taste. Many vegetables are suitable for alkaline soup: potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, zucchini, fennel, broccoli. Calling on your imagination to help, you can combine different types. Maybe you will create a real masterpiece from the leftover vegetables stored in the refrigerator?
Ready-to-eat foods are low in vital substances because many vitamins are lost during the manufacture and storage of such foods. Moreover, a large number of preservatives and flavorings are harmful to the intestinal flora and may cause allergic reactions. Unless you're in time trouble, you should cook with unprocessed, raw foods.
Milk and dairy products. Milk and dairy products are important providers of protein for the body. In addition, these foods supply calcium to prevent bone breakdown. Fresh cow's milk is classified as a weakly acidic product, but cottage cheese, sour milk, yogurt and cheese as lactic acid fermentation products are acidic, but they include valuable for metabolism nutrients... But only eat fresh dairy products (no homogenized milk!). If possible, avoid sugar-containing fruit yoghurts (“fruit” here is a drop of jam), instead of adding fresh fruit to natural yoghurt.
Eggs, meat, fish, poultry. Vegetable protein substances of food can be added animal protein... True, one must beware of its excess: it causes putrefaction in the intestines. There is nothing to object to one or two small meals of meat or fish per week. With regard to meat, one must especially monitor its quality. Only buy meat from places where it is tested. Pork comes mainly from fattening enterprises, therefore it contains a lot of exchangeable slags; such meat is best avoided. Vegetarian food can be varied by dishes prepared with eggs.
Vegetables and fruits Are the most important sources of evidence. They also contain many vitamins and minerals. True, some types of vegetables are not well absorbed by everyone. These are, first of all, legumes (peas, beans, lentils) and cabbage. People prone to flatulence and intestinal ailments should prefer more easily digestible vegetables: carrots, potatoes, celery, zucchini, fennel.
