The easiest way is to put lemon juice in it. Every glass you drink. It makes your body EXTREMELY healthy. So simple, yet so effective on your white and red blood cells.... Quoting: AddictedToInfo I found the info very helpful. Thanks. Is taking vitamin C powder in water and lemon water the same thing? Since both have vitamin C in them? |

I dont catch the flu etc from work like everyone else seems too, just remember to take before brushing. Brush with baking soda or coconut oil or a fluoride free toothpaste :) Nasty's thrive on sugars. Did you know its impossible to get scurvy if you eat an orange a day! It could'nt be simpler :) |

Lemon and lime juice promote the release of sodium bicarbonate from the pancreas to support enzyme activity. As well as this, lemon is converted to potassium citrate in the intestine which is also alkaline. |

I always feel tired especially after I eat. I want to take a nap after meals. I know it is from the carbs and sugars I'm consuming, but I think I'm addicted to these feeds. Will try the lemon water for now. |

Actually, there is some dispute over whether fruits are acidic and alkaline. Fruits are high sugar content and when the sugar in fruit ferments, it produces acidity in the body and so it’s a acidic food?? There is definitely confusion over fruits. Anyone know for sure if fruits are acid or alkaline? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38984097 Australia 06/01/2013 09:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is because their acids, such as citric acid, are weak acid and the Lemon's overall nutrients are alkaline. The End Product of Metabolism, otherwise known as Ash and it's effects on the body make it Alkalizing. Citric Acid is a "weak" acid, meaning once it's done it's job in providing energy in metabolism it's eliminated easily via sweat and respiration. It is alkaline forming in that it stimulates the formation of calcium carbonate in the body. Calcium carbonate then neutralizes the "Strong" acids in the body, acids that can only be gotten rid of through urination, including uric acid which is the end result of protein metabolism. In fruits such as the Lemons... the mineral content is also taken into consideration, and the Lemon's Alkaline minerals are many, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and Selenium so after the citric acid has done its job and is easily eliminated, one is left with a very Alkaline Ash (end product) from the fruit. In a Similar way, Malic Acid (another "weak" acid) attacks Lactic Acids (A "strong" acid) making foods like Apples and it's unprocessed vinegar also an alkalizing source. The list goes on... It's how the elements of the food, inclusive of its "acids" are utilized by the body and whether it's a weak acid or a strong acid in how it can be eliminated, and the food's nutrient content such as it's vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, etc. that a food's ash ends up being. Proteins... they are acidic, not only in their amino acid content, but also in it's utilization by the body... it leaves Uric Acids as it's waste product from its metabolism. And we need Citric acid to help our bodies eliminate this Acidic end product (Ash). |

The confusion is because the hippies started filling the web with the nonsense about "alkalizing foods" and "alkaline diets"! They have no evidence to back these theories up, but they keep making more and more web pages about it! And as you've noticed, it has now become very difficult to find out real scientific information about the pH values (acid or alkaline) of various foods! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38984097 === yeah right. don't fall for this or you'll die after buying that 20cent lemon from the vegie shop. ooohh scary If you could make your body more alkaline by eating lemons, then by now somebody would have overdone it and died of alkalosis. Alkalosis is a serious medical condition where the body becomes too alkaline. [link to www.nlm.nih.gov] But apparently doctors are all lying, and you should just listen to the hippies telling you how great it is for your body to be alkaline, right? |
