PLANT-BASED DIET MENU
We Prescribe to a Healthy Plant-Based Approach to Diet
Firstly, food is probably the one area where most people need to make the biggest change in their lives and maybe have the most resistance to doing that. We understand.
However, seeing the list of the toxic and acidic foods will probably surprise and maybe disappoint you because they are in most North American’s everyday diet, which is sometimes referred to as the SAD diet: Standard American Diet. A SAD diet would consist of red meat, fast food, soda pop, refined sugar, baked goods, hydrogenated fats and coffee to name a few.
The Grail Springs menu of food choices, supplements and natural plant-based bounty from Mother Earth can assist tremendously to balance and heal the body.
ph balance 7.0
7.0 The Perfect Balance Explained
We are chemical beings. Your body is happiest in a pH balanced state of 7.0 (0.0 being most acidic and 14.0 being most alkaline). An excess of acidity in a person’s body over a long period of time would show up as inflammation, stiffness, tissue degeneration, water retention, itchy skin and more.
It’s not that acid forming foods are bad; they just have to be balanced out with alkalizing foods when it comes to our food consumption. We do need both because of the minerals they each provide. There are several interpretations and food charts out on the market. The rule of thumb is to eat 75 to 80% alkalizing foods to 20 to 25% acidic. In North America right now, it is the reverse of that! Most North Americans are eating 80% acidic foods and 20% alkaline foods. Obesity, heart failure, and cancer are all symptoms of unbalanced diet.
