<p>Foods balance the body and are considered either acid or alkaline depending on their reaction to the digestive process.   The acid/alkaline balance is important to health.</p>
<p>Scientists know that disease flourishes in an acid environment. </p>
<p>We have many food choices in America. Unfortunately, the choices we make contribute to a high rate of acid body chemistry and leads to disease.</p>
<p>We are told to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and to avoid eating processed foods. </p>
<p>Fruits and vegetables produce an alkaline environment in the body.   </p>
<p>Alkaline foods help maintain a body chemistry which leads to prevention and optimal health.</p>
<p>Acid producing foods lead to many of the diseases plaguing our society.</p>
<p>Cells in the body start to die when the blood becomes  acidic. Cancer cells survive and grow in an acid condition and feed off the waste of normal cells.</p>
<p>A diet providing the best protection from inflammation, early aging and disease should have a ratio of <strong>four parts alkaline to 1 part acid</strong>.  Eating lots of fruits and veggies is vital.</p>
<p>Here are some of the foods that produce acid: animal products&#8230;red meat, dairy products, sugar, white flour, processed, refined and fast foods; deep fried foods, chocolate <img src='http://www.gracenandy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> , artificial sweeteners, alcohol, and food additives.</p>
<p>This is only a partial list.  Here are other considerations that produce an acid environment:  medications, drugs, emotional upsets and stress. </p>
<p>Foods that produce an alkaline blood chemistry: Most fruits and vegetables, some raw nuts and most seeds. Sprouted grains and sprouted legumes. </p>
<p>How are you doing?  If you are eating the standard American diet, there is much room for improvement. </p>
<p>Improve the diet, cut the disease rate and improve the quality of life.</p>
