ACID-ALKALINE BASICS
The pH is a scale ranging
from 0-14.
The body is naturally slightly
alkaline.
Anything above a pH of 7 is
alkaline.
PH LEVEL BASICS
You can measure the bodys
pH in urine, saliva and blood
The blood pH level is the
most important of the three
The body must stay in a range
of 7.35-7.45 or sickness can
occur
PH LEVEL BASICS II
pH is not significantly altered in the
blood by diet
Vegetables can alkalinize pH in the
saliva and urine, but not blood
Urine is slightly acidic; This is
evident of good kidney function
The lungs and kidneys are the main
pH level balancing organs
PH LEVEL BASICS III
Breathing plays a primary role
in regulating blood pH levels
Carbon dioxide is acidic
The rate and depth of our
breath determines our pH
level
Too much carbon dioxide
naturally stimulates deeper
and longer breathing to
balance the pH
CAUSES OF ACIDITY
Poor hydration
Toxic heavy metals
Unhealthy gut flora
Chronic infections of the eyes,
ears, throat and intestines
Poor liver function
CAUSES OF ACIDITY II
Excessive stress creates acidity
Acidic pH leads to frequent
colds, infections and sickness
while others are fine
Stress depletes minerals and
vitamins
ACIDITY AND THE LIVER
The liver produces bile (very alkaline)
to break down fats
When liver function is sub-optimal, its
production of bile slows
Without enough bile, fats are unable
to fully digest
Without enough bile present, the gut
environment allows bad gut flora to
thrive
FOODS & PH LEVELS
Fruits and vegetables are alkaline by
nature
Almonds, coconut, macadamia and
pumpkin seeds are the most popular
alkaline nuts and seeds
Coffee, tobacco, sugar, alcohol, animal
proteins, fish and dairy are all acidic
products
Stevia, apple cider vinegar, bee pollen,
probiotics, herbs and minerals such as
magnesium and calcium are alkaline
FOODS & PH LEVELS II
There are controversial substances
regarding its acidity or alkalinity
such as eggs, potatoes and chicken
Kombucha is alkaline due to its
probiotic content
Leafy greens = Alkaline
Animal protein = Acidic
DOES HIGH ACID = BONE LOSS?
In short- not necessarily
High acid from eating large amounts
of animal protein is said to cause
bone loss due to increased calcium
excretion
Supposedly less calcium = bone loss
& osteoporosis
Since bones are 50% protein and
50% mineral, this is false
DOES HIGH ACID = BONE LOSS?
Patients on a higher protein diet +
calcium supplementation had bone
growth
Patients on a low-protein diet +
calcium supplementation had bone
loss
Adequate levels of protein and
calcium are necessary for bone
health
WHAT DOES ALKALINITY DO?
Studies have linked
chronic low-back pain
to low Vitamin D and
magnesium. Alkaline
foods help both
Reduces instances
infection and sickness
ANCIENT HUMAN DIETS
Depending on the
location and season on
the planet, ancient diets
were varied
Pre-agricultural diets
were far more alkaline
than today
Pre-agricultural diets had
a plant/animal ratio of
65/35
ANCIENT HUMAN DIETS II
People dwelling in the
cold regions had an
almost exclusive diet of
high-quality fat from
animal blubber
Quality fats are a
preferred source of fuel
for the brain
Antioxidants from plants
are still valuable
HIGH FAT DIETS & HEALTH
Ketogenic - The ketogenic
diet is a high-fat, adequateprotein, low-carbohydrate
diet that in medicine is used
primarily to treat difficultto-control epilepsy in
children.
Classically contains a 4:1
ratio of fat to combined
protein and carbohydrate
HISTORY OF HIGH FAT DIETS
Although a ketogenic diet wasnt officially named until 1924,
humans and hominoids were on a ketogenic diet for the last
three million years
Ketones are normal fuels of respiration and are quantitatively
important as sources of energy. Indeed, heart muscle and the
renal cortex use ketones in preference to glucose. Dr. Luber
Stryer (Harvard)
Dr. Hatfield cured his skeletal cancer by using a ketogenic diet.
FOODS FOR HEALTH
Organic Coconut oil and
organic nut butters are perfect
for supporting a high fat diet
Quality fat sources provide the
fuel for the brain and body
FAT AS A FUEL
Every cell in the body operate on one of two fuel sources:
ketones or glucose
Healthy cells can use glucose or ketones while cancer cells can
only use glucose to survive
A term called glycolysis inhibition from a study is practicing
starving cancer cells by depriving them of their fuel (glucose)
FAT AS A FUEL II
The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
states, there is no dietary requirement for carbohydrates in
human adults
The ketone fuels produced from a high fat diet provides more
energy to the cells (ATP)
Glucose is a less efficient fuel than ketone bodies
The body takes a few weeks to adjust from being a fat burner to
a sugar burner
WHICH DIET IS BEST?
Both High-fat diets and
Alkaline-based diets are
capable of creating a thriving
human
Both diets include quality fats
such as pasture-raised meats
Both diets point have a low
carbohydrate intake
WHICH DIET IS BEST? II
Both diets are rich in minerals,
vitamins and antioxidants
High-fat diets align with human
history
High-fat diets that include leafy
greens are considered alkaline
WHICH DIET IS BEST? III
High-fat consumption with
the addition of greens will
create alkalinity
Leafy greens as prescribed
are naturally low carb
High-fat diets and Alkaline
diets are both low carb
WHICH DIET IS BEST? IIII
Alkaline
Fruits are allowed
Leafy green vegetables are
a staple
High-quality meats are
okay in moderation
Butter and most dairy
(not goat milk) are
excluded
High Fat
Minimal fruit such as
berries is allowed
Leafy green vegetables are
included
High-quality meats are a
primary source of fuel
Butter and quality-dairy
are included
KEY POINTS OF BOTH
Do consume quality fats,
meats and vegetables (which
contain probiotics)
Do eat low carbohydrate
Maintain low insulin levels and
low levels of glucose input
Do drink high-quality water
KEY POINTS OF BOTH
Do avoid all sources of wheat,
therefore eliminating gluten
from the diet
Gluten found in wheat is
inflammatory, toxic to the gut
flora and is an acidic food
KEY POINTS OF BOTH
Beer, sodas, and corn
syrups are out
Ice creams, artificial
sweeteners and
processed and created
foods are out
Alcohol should be clean
and minimal (no added
sugars)
KEY POINTS OF BOTH
Vitamin B12 and Omega-3s from pasture-raised meats can
reduce instances of depression, mood disorders and inflammation
Magnesium found in leafy green vegetables and nuts can aid over
400 enzymatic processes
An outdoor lifestyle in combination with a solid diet ensures
quality digestion, mental health and freedom from physical
ailments caused from deficiencies
