rhino 0 #1 July 28, 2003 What foods or drinks will raise the alkaline and lower the acid in your body??? I feel like a fool for not knowing this but no one can tell me. Rhino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffD 0 #3 July 28, 2003 Not sure but I think Cabbage (the purple lettuce) should counter act with the acid in your stomach. Remember the acid base experiment in middle school. Umm.. I found Milk doesn't help much just kinda covers it up for an hour. Alkaline, maybe most of the sport drinks. aka gatoraid, powerade etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txblondie 0 #4 July 28, 2003 Bread will absorb some of the excess acid; that's a good start. Cheese is okay, but milk is NOT, it will irritate the acid. Meat that is not spicy will help. If you have serious acid reflux problems, though, don't count on any of this. Go get some Pepcid Complete now, and make a doctor's appointment. I had a teacher who had to have surgery to repair a hole in his esophagus because of acid reflux. So, if that's why you're asking, take it seriously. Once or twice? Swallow an antacid...a couple won't hurt. And stop eating spicy foods! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhino 0 #5 July 28, 2003 Someone told me that Lemon water is great?? She said it is acid outside the body but alkaline inside? Not sure I buy that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #6 July 28, 2003 Rhino: I am not a doctor. Howver, I do believe that, in terms of the body, the regulation of the acid-base levels is controlled by the kidneys, which is resposible for cleaning the blood and regulating much of the hemodynamics, like acid/base levels. This is much like "what foods will increase blood sugar levels?" It's a question difficult to answer unless a person is diabetic. If this is a problem with the body, consult a physician. Mere body activity raises the acid levels of the body. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #8 July 28, 2003 Just go to the pool store and purchase some PH plus or PH minus, whichever your case is. Warning: Not suggested for very small children. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #9 July 28, 2003 I was going to suggest Clorox. What lawrocket said is true -- what goes into your mouth goes through a whole lot of processing before making it into the rest of your body. And "acid in body" is kinda sorta open, too. In a physiological sense. If it's the same kind of body chemistry that believes that milk clogs you up, well, I'd go to bodybuilding sites and look up what they say.
