Acid Alkaline Food Guide - Second Edition: A Quick Reference to Foods & Their Effect on Ph Levels

Good. List If all alkaline food

Quel plaisir de parcourir les pages de cet ouvrage, très complet et bien structuré dans ses explications. Un des meilleurs lus sur le sujet. Je le recommande vivement!

Lots of pages with detailed info on alcalinizing food; I would rather recommend Tha Alkaline diet for dummies

Superlative health resource. A copy of this book should probably be in most peoples homes if, as I have heard said (and I believe), the western diet is an acid-based diet. I have also read (and I believe) that ALL degenerative diseases are caused by acidic blood.As a general rule, roughly 80% of the foods we eat should be alkaline. That means, when we go shopping, we need to do a calculation about which foods are alkaline and which foods are not. That means we need to know whether each and every food we consider purchasing and eating is alkaline or not, and the degree to which it is alkaline.This book helps you make those shopping and eating choices.Unless you take this book with you to the grocery store, you will need to have memorized which foods are alkaline, and to what degree.Particularly appreciated are this book's "Acid-Forming" and "Alkaline-Forming" charts which indicate the degree of a food's alkalinity or acidity, as being "high," "medium" or "low."We cannot stop at knowing whether a food is alkaline or acidic, we also need to know the degree to which it is so - good, or bad.I would like to see this book expanded, to have its food listing chart to be more comprehensive, by adding more foods (starting with green vegetables), to this book's chart listings, and (perhaps) to have the book's textual essays more numerous.My one disappointment in this book is that it is inexpensively printed. The binding of my first copy of this book disintegrated from the manner of my use, and my making notes in the text. I would also enjoy a larger format.- even notwithstanding my age and my eyesight.When I use this book, I do so in conjunction to utilizing - when I could - Elizabeth Schneider's book entitled VEGETABLES FROM AMARANTH TO ZUCCHINI; THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE, to familiarize myself with vegetables which are listed in THE ACID ALKALINE FOOD GUIDE as being alkaline, but with which I was unfamiliar.I wish the very best for the future and long life of THE ACID-ALKALINE FOOD GUIDE.

Worth the purchase

This is the best of the books focusing on improving your health by adjusting the acid/alkaline ratio of the foods in your diet. In part this is because the author is eminently qualified as a long term research doctor in this area. And in part because the back of the book has an extensive and helpful list of foods and their acid/alkaline balance that is really useful as you adjust and improve your diet. This book sits right near the area in my kitchen where I prepare foods so I can consult it frequently. A great educational and practical guide.
