7 Alkalizing Foods That Cleanse The Liver

7 ALKALIZING FOODS THAT CLEANSE THE LIVER - garlic, grapefruit, green grasses, green vegetables, avocado, walnuts, and tumeric. 


Our liver works extremely hard everyday to protect us from adverse affects from metabolic an dietary acid and often it is easy for our liver to become overwhelmed compromising our health significantly. 


Here are 7 common foods you can include daily to help cleanse your liver naturally.  The primary way in which your body expels metabolic, dietary and environmental acid is via the liver, which detoxifies and cleanses your body by continuously filtering the blood of poisons that enter it through the digestive tract, the skin, and the respiratory system. But when your liver becomes overworked as a result of stress or excessive exposure to acid, your entire system can be thrown off balance, and your health severely compromised.

Since the liver is also responsible for producing alkalizing bile, another form of detoxification that is metabolically necessary for the breakdown and elimination of metabolic, environmental and dietary acid from your lifestyle.  It is exceedingly important that your liver be properly alkalized with an alkaline lifestyle and diet.  Without a well-functioning liver, your body will be unable to cleanse and detox itself from metabolic and dietary acid, which is a recipe for a health disaster.

So here are seven important alkalizing foods you may want to begin incorporating into your diet in order to maintain a healthy alkaline liver.

1. Garlic and Onion

Garlic contains numerous sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for flushing out dietry and metabolic acid from the body. This bulbous relative of the onion also contains allicin and selenium, two powerful nutrients proven to help protect the liver from acidic damage, and aid it in the detoxification process.

2. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is rich in natural vitamin C and antioxidants, two powerful liver cleansers. Like garlic, grapefruit contains compounds that buffer excess acids. It also contains a flavonoid compound known as naringenin that causes the liver to bind up acids for elimination rather than storing them in the fatty tissues.

3. Green Grasses

Green grasses, like wheat and barley grass are loaded with chlorophyll, a the main molecule in green grasses that buffers excess metabolic and dietary acids.  The increase in chlorophyll from green grasses also helps in detoxing the small bowel and liver and maintaining the alkaline design of the body.

4. Green Vegetables

Leafy green vegetables such as bitter gourd, arugula, dandelion greens, spinach, mustard greens, and chicory also contain numerous cleansing compounds that neutralize heavy metals, which can bear heavily on the liver. Leafy greens also eliminate pesticides and herbicides from the body, and spur the creation and flow of cleansing alkalizing bile.

5. Avocado

Rich in glutathione-producing compounds, avocados actively promote liver health by protecting it against toxic acidic overload, and boosting its cleansing power. Some research has shown that eating one or two avocados a week for as little as 30 days can repair a damaged liver.  Dr. Robert O. Young recommends eating an avocado a day keeps the doctor away.

6. Walnuts

Walnuts, which contain high levels of l-arginine, an amino acid, glutathione, and omega-3 fatty acids, also help detoxify the liver of disease-causing ammonia. Walnuts also help oxygenate the blood, and extracts from their hulls are often used in liver-cleansing formulas.

7. Tumeric

Turmeric, one of the most powerful foods for maintaining a healthy liver, has been shown to actively protect the liver against toxic damage, and even regenerate damaged liver cells. Turmeric also boosts the natural production of bile, shrinks engorged hepatic ducts, and improves overall function of the gallbladder, another body-purifying organ.

The Life Force Energy of a Tomato!

A Russian scientist by the name of Kirlian devoloped a special photography to view the life force energy of any matter.  This technique of photography is called Kirlian Photography.

Live, raw alkaline foods have a high degree of life force or life energy. Life force energy, also known as prana (in India ), or chi (in China ), is the most basic and primary nutrients on which our body thrives and runs on. The substances that increase our life force energy, includes oxygen, sunlight, mineral salts and live alkaline foods. You can actually see the life force energy of a particular food through a Russian technology called Kirlian Photography. You can see from the pictures that a fresh, raw alkaline food, such as a tomato has a large life force energy field, yet when cooked, the life force energy field is diminished.

Ocean Acidification and Body Acidification = Death

by Peter Arike

Good Morning America (GMA) did a story this morning on ocean acidification and how oysters are dying in Oregon. One of the largest oyster hatcheries in the country, after 30 years of growing oysters, suddenly found that their oysters were dying. Without warning, they went from producing more oysters than anyone else in the country to producing none! It took oceanographers to determine that Pacific sea water was the culprit, namely overly acid sea water that was making it impossible for the oysters to built their shells.

You may be asking yourself, “what does all this have to do with my health?”. Everything!

Just as the earth is made up 70% of water, our bodies are roughly 70% water. And just as the over-acidification of the oceans of the earth has a devastating effect on life in the oceans, the over-acidification of our oceans (the internal fluid and blood) of our bodies has a devastating effect on our health. Dr. Robert O. Young, who wrote the ground-breaking book, The PH Miracle, has made a very bold and revolutionary statement with regards to health and diet. He has shown that there “is only one sickness and one disease which is caused by over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking”.

No matter how a disease presents itself, the root cause of this illness is the over-acidification of our bodies. The science, in brief, goes like this: Just like our body temperature is kept within a very strict range, our blood’s pH must be maintained at 7.365 in order for us to be healthy. Our bodies will do “whatever is necessary” to maintain this delicate balance, including taking calcium from our bones in order to neutralize excess acid.

Women fearful of developing osteoporosis should look towards their diets to determine whether or not they are overly acidic before looking for a solution with drugs. And the diet solution is not found with more calcium from traditional sources like dairy products. Cow’s milk is acidic and therefore when ingested your body must neutralize the acid. If your body doesn’t have sufficient alkaline buffers to accomplish this, it will seek other sources like your own bones in order to neutralize this acid load. Remember, your body will do whatever is necessary to keep your blood at its ideal pH.

So what can be done about ocean over-acidification? Granted the solution is not easy, but it is a simple one: reduce carbon emissions. By doing so, the oceans can begin to normalize their delicate pH balance. And how do we begin to normalize the delicate pH balance of our bodies? Again, the solution may not be easy (at first), but it is simple. Reduce the consumption of acidic foods and drinks. And equally, if not more importantly, control your thoughts. Hateful, fearful and negative thoughts in general have a direct effect on the pH balance of our bodies.

I recommend reading Dr. Young’s book, The PH Miracle, or get an excellent course which teaches you exactly how to balance your pH and take control of your own health. There is one such program which simplifies this process into a very doable format and presents the material in a way that is very easy to understand. Remember, knowing is not enough, we must do! So start today and check out The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet.

Alkalizing Health Benefits of Parsley

1 ) Anti-Cancer/Anti-Acid : ' Myristicin ' an organic compound found in the essential oil of parsley, not only inhibits tumor formation (especially in the Lungs) Myristicin can also neutralize carcinogens (acids) like benzopyrene in cigarette smoke that can pass through the body, consequently fighting against an acidic cancerous colon or an acidic cancerous prostate.

2 ) Healthy Immune System or White Blood Cells: 
* The vitamin C , found in parsley serve to strengthen the body's immune system, though in different ways. Vitamin C is necessary for collagen, the main structural protein found in connective tissue. This essential nutrient will not only accelerate the body's ability to repair wounds, but also maintain healthy bones and teeth.

** Vitamin A , on the other hand, fortifies the entry points into the human body, such as Mucous membranes, the lining of the eyes, and Respiratory, Urinary and İntestinal Tracts. Moreover, lymphocytes, or white blood cells, rely on vitamin A to buffer acids in the body that causes outfections.

3 ) A Healthy Heart : Homocysteine, an amino acid that occurs in the body, threatens the body's blood vessels when its levels become too high. Luckily, the folate (or vitamin B9) found in parsley helps convert the acid homocysteine into harmless molecules. A regular garnish of parsley can help buffer metabolic and dietary acids to prevent Cardiovascular Dis-eases, such as Heart Attack, Stroke, and Atherosclerosis.

4 ) Antioxidants or Antiacids : Parsley is rich with an antioxidant or alkalizing buffer arsenal that includes Luteolin, a flavonoid that searches out and buffers metabolic and dietary acids in the body that cause oxidative stress in cells. Luteolin also promotes carbohydrate metabolism and serves the body as an anti-inflammatory or anti-acid agent reducing inflammation and pain.

5 ) Anti-Inflammatory or Anti-acid : Along with luteolin, the vitamin C found in parsley serves as an effective anti-inflammatory agent within the body. When consumed regularly, they combat the onset of acids that causes inflammatory disorders, such as Osteoarthritis (the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (an acid disease causing inflammation in the joints).

6 ) Vitamin K : which is necessary for the synthesis of osteocalcin, a protein that strengthens the composition of our bones. Vitamin K also prevents calcium build-up in our tissue that can lead to atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Vitamin K protects our nerves and our Nervous System as a whole from metabolic and dietary acids.

Alkalizing Health Benefits of Oregano

Oregano is an herb of the mint family that is cultivated in the regions of the Mediterranean. Native to northern Europe.  The herb has been used for medicinal and culinary purposes for thousands of years. Though there is no evidence to support using oregano for medical benefits, the herb is touted for perks like inhibiting the growth of fungus and providing your body with antioxidants/antiacids. Oregano has many other touted benefits, which may make you add an extra sprinkle of the herb to your next alkalizing meal.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Benefits
Because of oregano's essential oils and its ingredients thymol and carvacol, the herb can inhibit the biological transformation of many kinds of bacteria and fungus, including some forms of bacteria that cause serious food-borne illnesses. In addition, the oil of oregano has been known to inhibit the cellular transformation of yeast, including Candida albicans, the yeast that is present as an outfection of vaginitis and oral thrush. Oregano also transforms germs more effective than prescription antibiotics like penicillin, streptomycin and vancomycin, without their acidic/toxic effects.  Finally orgegano will protect you against the acids or mycotoxins and exotoxins from so-called germs or the biological transformations of healthy cells that can lead to their removal creating what is known as the common cold.

Vitamin and Nutrient Boost
Oregano is rich with vitamins and nutrients. For instance, 20g of dried oregano provides 333.8 mg of potassium, .88 mg of zinc, 8.8 mg of iron, 2.2 g of protein, 315.2 mg of calcium, .92 mg of magnesium and 8.56 g of fiber, all vital nutrients your body needs to stay alkaline or healthy and working at its full potential. You'll also get some electircal energy; oregano hits you with 256 kj of energy. Oregano is rich in vitamins too; it houses 1.24 mg of vitamin B3 and .24 mg of B6. All of this is at a cost of 61.2 calories, 2.05 g of fat and 3 mg of sodium. While 20 g may be large amount of the herb, you can gain these nutrients and vitamins at amounts relative to how much you do eat.

Antioxidant or Antiacid Benefits
Oregano is one of the culinary herbs rich in antioxidants or antiacids, substances that protect your cells from metabolic and dietary acid damage. It also slows cell deterioration from acid, thus slowing the process of aging. In fact, the herb may even be a better source of dietary antioxidants or antiacids than many other food groups like fruits, cereals and veggies. At 20 g, Oregano has 10 mg of vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps form collagen and hold cells together for healthy teeth and gums. It also contains around 3.6 mg of vitamin E, which protects red blood cells and helps prevent against vitamin C and vitamin A destruction for acids in your body.

Considerations
There is no clinical evidence to support the use of oregano for any health benefits, advises Drugs.com. There is also no clinical evidence to support specific therapeutic doses of oregano, notes the site. However, because of its wide use it has been recognized as safe by the Federal Drug Administration. Because the safety and efficacy are unsubstantiated, avoid administering doses of oregano that are higher than that typically found in meals. So-called adverse reactions can include contact dermatitis when applied topically and eczematous rash when large amounts are ingested as the body is pushing metabolic and dietary acids out through the pores of the skin.  To prevent these two acidic symptoms make sure your bowels and urinary tract systems are NOT congested and that you are eliminating your bowels 5 times a day and your bladder 10 times a day.  This may require that you drink at least 6 liters of pH Miracle greens each day, take L-arginine max 6 times a day and finally take the pH Miracle pHlush 3 times a day to remove congestion from the bowels and urinary tract systems.
