ACIDIC - ALKALINE
⬤ How to beat Kidney Disease with the ALKALINE diet: https://youtu.be/wPF6Ayw_yZM
⬤ What happens when your body is acidic?
❌ As your body burns food for energy, waste products are produced. These waste products are acidic. The body needs to either neutralize the acid produced during metabolism or excrete the waste. Excess waste causes the kidneys to work harder and can result in kidney infections, bladder infections, inflammation, kidney disease, kidney stones.
⬤ 10 Ways to Reduce Acidosis.
✅ Avoid Problem Foods. All too often, heartburn patients look first to antacids.
✅ Lower the Fat. It's disappointing but true — fatty, greasy foods like burgers and fries can wreak havoc on your digestive system.
✅ Eat Smaller Meals.
✅ Move After Eating.
✅ Sleep Elevated.
✅ Consider Your Medications.
✅ Chewing Gum.
✅ Baking Soda.
✅ Cut Back on Alcohol and Tobacco.
✅ Losing Weight.
