There are many who suffer from Hyperacidity.
The causes are many. Too much intake of acidic foods and stress. There is an
emotional center in the brain which stimulates the oxintic cells in the
stomach to secrete Hydrochloric acid. So tension and stress are some of the
main factors.
The ratio of Alkalinity and Acidity in the
body physiologic is 80:20 and when the ratio of acidity is more than 20%, we
have the condition of Hyperacidity. Hyperacidity may lead to ulcer and it is
time we reduced this threat of ulceration.
It is time we adopted some prophylactic
measures to combat this threat. Hyperacidity intially manifests as gas
trouble. Antacid tablets can give temporary relief to gas trouble, but then
the entire disease can only be overcome if the body is made more alkaline.
Increase the alkalinity of the body by taking in alkaline foods. Optimum
health is in an alkaline body.
The virus H Pylori thrives in acidic
environment. So the first step is reducing acidity in the treatment of
ulceration.
If we alter our food habits, we can get
relief from hyperacidity. Prevention is better than cure. The body needs
both acidic and alkaline foods and we should be careful to preserve the 80%
alkalinity and 20% acidity of the body.
The acidity of blood should be 7 Ph (
Potential of Hydrogen ). Overacidity affects the body's systems. adversely.
Alkaline reserves are there in the body physiologic and during the condition
of hyperacidity, these alkaline reserves will be stolen. This will weaken
the body, as reserves of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium will be
depleted. If this process continues for a long time, our organs will be
considerably affected.
So, in order to maintain the 80-20 Alkalinity
Acidity balance, we give below a list of acidic and alkaline foods. Pls
incorporate more alkaline foods for optimum health. Knowledge is
prophylactic and is Power ( Scientia est Potentia ).
Without Health, even Wealth and Wisdom become
zero !
Foods which reduce Acidity
Vegetables like garlic, beet root, broccoli,
cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, melon, brinjal, mushrooms, onions, pumpkin,
spinach, radish etc are food that will reduce hyperacidity.
Herbal tea, green tea, cardamom, ginger,
coconut, lime juice etc. The citric acid present in lime leaves an
alkaline ash. Lime is full of vitamins and minerals. Two glasses of Lime
juice, along with 12 glass of water intake, is ideal.
In vegetables, organic acids along with
sodium and potassium will be more. These element increase the alkalinity of
the blood. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium will increase alkalinity
while Sulphur, phosphorus and chlorine will foster acidity.
