ALKALIZE THE BODY SYSTEM

With so many theories about the way the human body operates there is a way to take preliminary steps to promote good health in general while waiting for further information regarding the flu shots. According to Dr. Theodore a. Baroody, in his book Alkalize or Die, it is important to keep the body in its proper balance through menu planning. Chapter 9 of his book suggests certain foods that are known to be mucous producers (acid-forming). Step one includes reducing refined foods, sugars and foods containing chemical preservatives. Red meats can be replaced with chicken, fish and dairy for a main protein source. His chart places vegetables such as Broccoli, Celery, Carrots and Lettuce at the center. Further information can be found at his website: www.holographichealth.com.
