Why you should buy organic?

First of all organic produce generally has higher values in vital substances like vitamins and minerals.

Secondly “industrially” produced fruits and vegetables are loaded with pesticides.

If you cannot avoid buying non organic: here is a list of pesticide residue data which help you to see which fruits/veggies do contain more pesticide residue.

EWG (Environmental Working Group) analyzed pesticide residue testing data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration to come up with rankings for these popular fresh produce items. All 48 foods are listed below from worst to best (lower numbers = more pesticides)
Note: EWG analyzed pesticide tests of 48 popular produce items. Domestic and imported versions of three items – nectarines, blueberries and snap peas- showed sharply different results, so we have ranked those domestic and imported items separately. As a result, the full list of foods ranked by the Shopper’s Guide displays 51 entries.

Kale, My Absolute pH Balance Diet Super Alkaline Foods

Posted on : 27-09-2012 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : alkaline diet

Kale is my favourite super food! Awesome in a smoothie or steams. Loaded with health!

Kale is the best leafy green beauty that is widely known for its
cancer-fighting, cholesterol-lowering, antioxidant-rich, detoxifying goodness.

Less popular than spinach, but only because it has a history of being cooked poorly (like cabbage) –
when done right it is absolutely delicious. If you eat kale 2-3 times per week you’ll know it. Like spinach it is massively high in vitamin k,
vitamin a and vitamin c and being leafy green it also has a huge chlorophyll content.

The reason it is so powerful against the cancer fight is that kale contains at least four glucosinolates.
I don’t want to lose you here by using words like glucosinolates – all you need to know is that as
soon as you eat and digest kale, these glucosinolates are really easily converted by the body into
cancer fighting compounds.

Also quite amazing for lowering cholesterol, it should be noted that steamed kale is more effective
for cholesterol lowering than raw.

Nutrients Per 1 Cup:
Vitamin K: 1327% RDA
Vitamin A: 354% RDA
Vitamin C: 88.8% RDA
Manganese: 27% RDA
Fiber: 12% RDA
Calcium: 11% RDA
Magnesium: 11% RDA

„Good And Bad“ Carbohydrates by Dr. Jentschura

Posted on : 29-02-2012 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : alkaline diet

0

Due to their molecular structure carbohydrates are divided into the so called simple and complex carbohydrates.

The simple carbohydrates are the so called monosaccharides (simple sugars like e. g. glucose and fructose) and disaccharides (double sugars like e. g. refined sugar crystals, malt sugar or lactose).

In opposition to the simple mono- and disaccharides the complex carbohydrates include all types of sugar (saccharides) that contain at least three monosaccharide molecules.

These are e. g. oligosaccharides (multiple sugars like e. g. raffinose (raffinose is a carbohydrate contained in plants, to be exact a triple sugar (trisaccharide)) as well as polysaccharides (multiple sugars like e. g. starch, cellulose, chitin).

As far as possible we should avoid simple carbohydrates that can be found mostly in sugar, sweets, honey and some fruits. Simple carbohydrates have the trait to increase the blood sugar level at a very fast pace and thus cause a high release of insulin and arouse the sensation of hunger!

Complex carbohydrates saturate longer and supply all kinds of important substances for our health. They contain many vitamins and are high in dietary fibres. Complex carbohydrates can be found in vegetables, grains, potatoes and leguminous plants.

• The amount of carbohydrates in our diet should predominantly consist of complex carbohydrates. As they have to be broken down in the small intestine they are transferred into the blood at a slower but more continuous pace. Thus a constant blood sugar level is achieved for a longer amount of time. In this way a consistent supply with energy over a longer time is made possible. Moreover important vitamins, minerals and dietary fibres are delivered together with these carbohydrates. The organism has to spend energy to utilise long-chain carbohydrates, a process similar to the digestion of proteins.
• The simple sugars (mono- and disaccharides) are turned into glucose quicker and arrive in the blood in a shorter amount of time. They let the blood sugar level rise quickly and increase the release of insulin. More insulin means a higher breakdown of glucose, a decrease of the blood sugar level and a renewed sensation of hunger.
• Therefore you should consume few simple carbohydrates and better help yourself with complex carbohydrates. Superfluous carbohydrates are not discarded but stored in the liver and the muscles as a quickly utilisable body’s own energy supply. Under certain circumstances surplus glucose can be transferred into fat. Thus when feeding on a diet very rich in carbohydrates (more than 500 g sugar per day) the well known fat stores can develop even if the diet is poor in fat.

Daily plan for alkaline foods by Dr. h.c. Jentschura

Posted on : 07-02-2012 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : alkaline diet

Breakfast
A valuable breakfast rich in vital substances awards you with fitness and liveliness and is the best start for the day. Highly recommended and easily digestible is warm millet-buckwheat porridge. You can either bring it to a boil or dash it with hot water if you lack time. You can refine the pulp according to taste and individual tolerance. When put into a box it can easily be taken to work, school or kindergarten. If you are not hungry enough in the morning try a little fresh fruit.

As a second breakfast or snack we recommend for example a slice of wholemeal bread garnished with vegetables and a piece of fruit.

Of course you can once in a while give yourself a Sunday breakfast treat with fresh rolls and an egg. By the way, studies prove that people who breakfast are less frequently overweight.

Also we highly recommend to start your day with a super green smoothie: organic spinach, broccoli, kale, parsley, celery, 1 or 2 apples and 1 or 2 tablespoons of organic oils (sunflower, flaxseed,..) are awesome ingredients.

Lunch
Particularly people who spend a lot of time sitting down at work need a light lunch. After pizza, French fries or other high-calorie meals many people feel tired and heavy and lack performance for the rest of the afternoon.

At lunchtime the body can best digest salads and raw food. If you additionally eat a warm meal you should always eat the salad or raw food first. This way the digestion is promoted and important enzymes are activated.

If you have no possibility to cook at work you should bring packed lunch from home like e. g. a crisp mixed salad. Vegetables or legumes with potatoes, rice or gluten-free cereal are recommendable. Risotto, millet risotto and polenta are good alternatives to pizza and can be warmed up easily like vegetable, quinoa and potato casserole or vegetable stir-fry. Vegetable or millet patties or the like can also be enjoyed cold.

Nowadays almost every cafeteria has a salad buffet and a wide choice of other healthy meals. Oftentimes vegetarian dishes are also offered. Keep your hands off of large meat servings and oily sauces. Help yourself to a large serving of a side dish like vegetables, potatoes or millets instead. The slow increase of blood sugar level that is characteristic for these foods that rich in dietary fibres brings about a long-lasting feeling of satiety and prevents you from quickly getting tired after lunch.

Recipes for lunch

Quinoa-olive-salad
4 servings
2 cups quinoa
4 cups vegetable broth
1 small onion
3 teaspoons olive oil
3 tomatoes, cubed
2 carrots, shredded
100 g black or green olives
pepper and seasoned salt

Wash the quinoa seeds with hot water, let them drip off and lightly stew them in 1 teaspoon oil. Stir in the vegetable broth and let simmer for approx. 15 minutes. Let cool down and mix with vegetables and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season according to taste.

Mixed salad with warm mustard vinaigrette
4 Servings
½ head endive
100 g arugula
1 ripe avocado
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons coarse mustard

Tear, wash and dry the salad. Peel the avocado, cut into thin slices and mix with the salad in a bowl. Slightly roast the sesame seeds in 1 tablespoon oil. After the seeds have cooled down stir in the lemon juice, olive oil and mustard. Pour the dressing over the salad immediately. Tasty with potatoes boiled in their skins.

Dinner
If people regularly have gastrointestinal problems after dinner they should try to eat little or no cereal, fruits, raw vegetables or salad after 18 p.m. Liver and digestive tract are already resting during this time. For this reason abovementioned foods can not be macerated adequately and start to ferment overnight. In this way toxic metabolic waste develops that burdens liver and intestine. Eat vegetable soups or stewed vegetables with potatoes, millets or quinoa for dinner to avoid this.

If the reduction of weight is first priority for you try to avoid foods with a high amount of carbohydrates in the evening. You can really boost the overnight fat burning by following this advice. Eat a large serving of vegetables with maybe a small protein addition like e. g. cheese or a small piece of meat or fish instead of potatoes, bread or rolls, cereal and the like.

Recipe for dinner

Vegetables from the oven
Vegetables like pumpkin, carrots, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, potatoes, etc. according to taste
Olive oil
Pepper and seasoned salt

Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Wash and chop the vegetables and dab them with oil. Put the vegetables with the cut surface facing upwards onto a baking plate laid out with baking paper. Bake for approx. 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Season with pepper and seasoned salt. Serve with a dip like e. g. vegetable sunflower spread, guacamole or creamed cheese with linseed oil.

Strengthen Your Vitality With Alkaline Foods

Posted on : 31-01-2012 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : alkaline diet

The human body has various ways to secrete acids, toxins and other harmful substances through different organs and functions. The main secretion organs are the outermost layers of the skin, which release toxins through sweat, pimples, eczema, shed, warts; and the mucous membranes through mucus and discharge. One of the most important organ for secretion are your intestines. In the intestines, acids are split into gas and water, which is the cause of flatulence. That is why we highly recommend a herbal or hydro colon cleanse.

The kidneys are the most important secretion organs in removing acids, such as uric acid, lactic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid and other acids within the body. These organs are crucial for our bodies function in excreting acids, chemical reagents, and other base-forming minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

We need these base-forming minerals and we receive them from the daily vegetable diet. The vital substances received through this kind of diet are not only the basis to form our bones and tendons, our vessels, cartilage and skin; these vital substances are virtually carriers, which bind the acids molecule to molecule, removing them from our body through urine. Therefore it is our essential that our daily diet be rich in vital substances and minerals, creating an efficient life of health and beauty for the acid-loaded body of the modern human being.

Wurzelkraft serves as a tremendous assistant for our two kidneys. It strengthens their productivity in secreting acids and other toxins from the body. The secretion capacity of the kidneys in our modern and diet–with an overabundance of coffee, meat, sweets salty chips and peanuts–is greatly diminished. The kidneys are overloaded with pollutants and acids, while receiving only small amounts of energy-lacking minerals for acid neutralization and strengthening. Offer your body an abundance of alkaline foods.

We need large amounts of not only organic vegetable and whole food supplements because they are necessary for people suffering from deposits or excretions – it is a tremendous help for the kidneys and their capacity to secrete acids. For patients with structural damage including osteoporosis, spinal disc problems, skin aging or similar. You cannot overdo eating a healthy diet. You are able to eat better for your health!

A whole food dietary supplement like Wurzelkraft, which contains 100 all natural plants and plant substances, is a fully designed omnimolekular (all minerals are completely available in the supplement) whole food, which provides the body with a limitless abundance of minerals and vitamins, amino acids and countless vegetable fiber and other active substances. It is a living food that permeates our body with vital energy. The superior offer of Wurzelkraft is the high energetic, base-forming minerals that thoroughly strengthen the kidneys, improving overall body function and health. Our body is in a desperate need of nano-sized, organic minerals to deal with toxins and acids. “Alkalize or Die”

Eat lots of alkaline foods to improve your health.

What Kind Of Alkaline Foods To Eat? By Dr. h.c. Peter Jentschura

Posted on : 02-09-2011 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : alkaline diet

0

How do I nourish properly?

You should select foods that are as natural and unprocessed as possible. With a diet that is predominantly full-value and vegetarian you supply your body with all necessary nutrients and encourage the self-regulation of your acid alkaline balance. Too much acidity providing food disturbs this equilibrium of your organism.

Particularly in old age the organism can no longer compensate dietary sins like it did in younger years. The danger of overacidification rises with progressing age because the performance of liver and kidneys declines. Simultaneously the alkaline reserves in the body decrease. It is also of importance that older people are less physically active.

Alkalinity providing foods

The majority of the daily nutrition, approx. 80 %, should consist of alkalinity providing or neutral foods.

Alkalinity providing foodstuffs are primarily of vegetable origin. In addition to the main nutrients carbohydrates, protein and fat plants contain various health-promoting vital substances, e. g. alkalinity generating minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, copper or iron and innumerable vitamins, secondary plant substances and enzymes. These multitudinous vital substances fulfil diverse tasks in our organism. Magnesium for example is on the one hand incorporated into our bones, on the other hand it participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions.

When consuming alkalinity providing foods our organism produces more alkaline than acidic constituents after metabolising them. Of greatest importance is that the alkaline effect of the plant-based vital substances in our organism only develops during their digestion. Our metabolism regulates its acid alkaline balance with the help of these substances, buffers acids and exudes them. All organs like e. g. the digestion organs are strengthened by vital substances.

Our organism needs the entire variety of vital substances to run smoothly. Incorporate alkalinity generating plants like vegetables, potatoes, leafy greens, fruits and raw foods into your daily diet.

Vegetables and fruits

In the first place of alkalinity providing foods are vegetables. Vegetables and fruits should be eaten at a ratio of approx. 2 : 1. Vegetables are the most effective alkalinity creators.

Fruits also are creators of alkalinity but this only applies to the intact metabolism and if fruits are well tolerated. If this is not the case the fruit acids remain in the organism and plunder minerals from the reserves of the body. Thus vegetables are always in first place of consumption. This experience is shared by many therapists like e. g. the well-known F. X. Mayr-physician Dr. Erich Rauch.

Regional, seasonal and fresh – always keep in mind this catchphrase when shopping! Sadly we are accustomed to buying everything at all times. Strawberries and asparagus at Christmas, tomatoes in January – these goods come from the other side of the world. No wonder that foods are oftentimes highly polluted with pesticides and harvested when still unripe so they can survive long transportation routes.

You should rather turn towards seasonal plants that were able to grow in the right time under ideal circumstances. These plants are harvested when ripe and are oftentimes easier to digest and have only travelled short routes. This has a positive impact on their nutrient content and also on their taste. Seasonal calendars can be found in various cooking magazines or the internet. If necessary use frozen food instead of preserved food.

Vegetables and fruits should be washed and chopped only shortly before preparation so that valuable water soluble minerals and vitamins do not go down the drain. Vegetables should generally be braised lightly and not cooked to rags to preserve precious vitamins and enzymes. Many vital substances are solved very fast and aggregate in the cooking water. Thus you should always use as little water as possible. It is recommended to use the cooking water for preparation of for example sauces.

Microwave – no, thanks!

Foods should never be prepared in the microwave. Microwaves do not cook foods evenly. Besides that a study has revealed that broccoli looses 85 % of its antioxidants when prepared in the microwave. Particularly the warming of breast milk should never be done with a microwave because all substances that serve the immune defence of the child are thus destroyed.

Protective cooking – yes, please!

Instead of warming in the microwave a gentle heating in a pot is recommendable.

Cooking in a steamer basket is a preparation method for vegetables that preserves vital substances very well. Also a steamer basket is very cheap. This valuable preparation method is suitable for all foods. Hot water vapour embraces the food from all sides and prevents dilution. The natural taste and appearance of the foods is preserved.

Herbs, germ buds and sprouts

Fresh herbs, germ buds and sprouts are a feature of a healthy diet. Most herbs can be bought as a potted plant and cut when needed. Already prepared herb bunches should be enveloped in a moist cloth and stored in the vegetable compartment of the fridge. Particularly rich in vitamins and minerals are fresh herbs like lemon balm, basil, parsley, chives or dill. Why not prepare pesto with fresh herbs and good oil? Healthy food can be so delicious!

Germ buds and sprouts are valuable fresh foods particularly rich in vital substances that are delicate or crunchy and taste from mild to piquant depending on species. They can be added to salads, vegetable meals, soups and dips. The preparation of buds and sprouts at home is very easy with a sprouter.

Potatoes

Next to carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins potatoes contain a lot of valuable protein. Thus they are an important alternative to animal foods for vegetarians and vegans. Because of their high content of water potatoes are very low in calories and fat. Additionally they are very rich in dietary fibres if prepared as potatoes boiled in the skin.

Avocado

The avocado is a real power fruit. Approximately 30 % of it is fat and so it is one of the fat-richest fruits next to the olive. The avocado’s fat is composed mostly of healthy unsaturated fatty acids that have a positive impact on the fat metabolism. Avocados include a large variety of vitamins like e. g. vitamin C and some B-vitamins and also minerals like potassium. It has also been demonstrated that avocados contain numerous bitter constituents.

Do you actually know …?

You should try to incorporate these valuable alkalinity providing foodstuffs regularly in your diet.

Pollen

Pollen are composed of many valuable contents like e. g. a broad spectre of vitamins, enzymes and minerals. Health-conscious people eat them to strengthen the body’s defences.

Chufa sedges

Chufa sedges are also called earthalmonds and have an almond-like sweet taste. They are distinguished by their high content of dietary fibres of about 30 %. The valuable protein of the chufa sedges is easily digestible.

Bitter constituents

Bitter constituents are part of the so-called secondary plant substances. As their name implies they are of bitter taste. Bitter constituents encourage the salivary flow and the release of digestive juices. They are particularly good for flatulence.

The intensity of the bitter taste ensures a limitation of the sensation of hunger and results in a quicker feeling of satiety. The vegetables grown nowadays have lower values of bitter constituents because the majority of the consumers prefer a sweet taste. Thus the bitter constituents have mostly been grown out of our vegetables by the agricultural industry.

Try to include fresh herbs and bitter vegetables like e. g. witloof and Brussels sprouts in your diet. Bitter constituents are also found in the many plants of the product AlkaLife (WurzelKraft) like e. g. common centaury, dandelion, rosemary, thyme and dill.

Spices

We recommend you to use sea salt or salt seasoned with herbs from the health or organic food store or a specialised drugstore instead of using isolated or iodated fluoridated table salt. According to the World Cancer Research Fund the overall average salt consumption of an adult should not exceed five grams per day. Unfortunately reality tells a different tale. A study from the year 2008 in Germany (2. Nationale Verzehrsstudie) found that every German consumes six to ten grams table salt per day.

Our kidneys can only excrete a limited amount of table salt per day. The rest is deposited in the body. The capacities of the kidneys and their supply with vital substances as well as the drinking quantity of a person determine how much table salt can be eliminated.

You should salt in moderation. Fresh herbs give an aromatic taste to all meals, too.

Surveys show that approx. 80 % of the salt we take in nowadays stem from industrially manufactured foods like e. g. ready-to-serve meals and chips and not from our salt shaker.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Neutral foods

Neutral foods are neither acid nor alkalinity providing. They contain acid and alkalinity generating constituents in roughly equal amounts. Neutral foodstuffs can be ideally combined with alkalinity providing foods. Fats and oils class among the neutral foods and are very rich in essential constituents and should be consumed regularly.

Fats and oils

Fat has been ill-reputed as a thickener in our dieting society for a long time. But the “proper” fats are essential components for our organism and by no means fattening. Cold-pressed oils supply our organism with vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids of vital importance. These have numerous positive effects on the vascular system like for example the regeneration of cell walls, joints, blood fats, the blood pressure and the skin. Additionally fats help with the detoxification of fat-soluble toxins like e. g. pesticides. When preparing foods fat ensures consistency and stability. It is an important flavour carrier and provides a lasting feeling of satiety.

Our body can not independently produce the polyunsaturated Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Therefore they have to be taken in with the nutrition. Most important are the Omega-3 fatty acids because oftentimes they are insufficiently supplied.

To these also belongs the important alpha-Linolenic acid. Only linseed, hemp, walnut and wheat germ oil and the fish species rich in fat like e. g. salmon, herring and trout contain noteworthy quantities of it.

Manufacture of oils

Many valuable plant ingredients of plant oils can get lost during the industrial filtering. Vitamin E and linolenic acid for example are destroyed by the high temperatures when hot-pressing oils. Protective manufacturing techniques like cold-pressing do not have this negative effect on these valuable plant ingredients. Also cold-pressed oil tastes better than hot-pressed oil.

When buying oils you should pay attention to take native cold-pressed oils. These oils are not heated during manufacturing. Only these native cold-pressed oils contain all valuable plant substances.

Trans-fatty acids

If unsaturated fatty acids are heated or chemically hardened trans-fatty acids are generated. During the manufacture of most margarines liquid fats are made spreadable by fat hardening. Particularly baking margarines and pastry, snacks and fluffy pastry prepared with baking margarines as well as fries, chips and chocolate bars contain a high amount of trans-fatty acids. Thus particularly people who consume large quantities of industrially manufactured foods take in large amounts of trans-fatty acids.

Trans-fatty acid increase the share of “bad” LDL-cholesterol in the blood and therefore count as a risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases. A high consumption of trans-fatty acids is also discussed to be associated with increased levels of diabetes, allergy and cancer risk.

The amount of trans-fatty acids contained in a foodstuff does not have to be given on the list of ingredients. But if you find the notation “hydrogenated vegetable oils” in the list of ingredients you can assume that a lot of trans-fatty acids are contained.

Snacks

Chips, peanut doodles etc. contain lots of unwanted saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids. Additionally flavour enhancers and large quantities of salt and calories are contained. If you want to enjoy a small snack you should better help yourself to tasty and healthy nuts or dried fruit instead of eating chips.

Which oil for which meal?

Not every oil is suitable for every method of preparation. Some oils can be heated, others only qualify for cold preparation.

For salads we recommend all native cold-pressed oils like safflower, pumpkin seed, linseed, corn germ, sunflower, olive and canola oil. Prepare your dressing with oil and a small amount of vinegar or some lemon juice. Dressings are delicious with cold-pressed vegetable oil, fresh herbs and spices.

Tip: Particularly linseed oil contains many unsaturated fatty acids and thus oxidises easily. Therefore it should be kept in dark bottles and protected from direct contact with light and oxygen.

Oils soused with for example chilli peppers are especially tasty for dressings. Mixed with some seasoned salt they provide a delicious dressing. You can confidently abandon vinegar when using seasoned oils.

For steaming and stewing vegetables you can very well use olive, pumpkin seed or canola oil. For the additional refinement of vegetables small quantities of cream or butter are recommended. If the meal has cooled down to eating temperature native cold-pressed oils can be added. This advice should also be observed when preparing baby food. If you resort to readily prepared jars you can add a small quantity of valuable vegetable oil.

For frying or other preparation methods where the oil is exposed to high temperatures you should use peanut, red palm oil or coconut oil or fat. Never use cold-pressed vegetable oils for frying. The more unsaturated fatty acids the oil contains the more susceptible to heat it is and the less suitable for frying. Oils begin to burn when heated up to a certain temperature (smoke point) and change their structure. As a result cancer-causing agents like e. g. trans-fatty acids are formed.

For baking we recommend coconut fat or butter. Both are formed from saturated fatty acids that can be heated without any problems.

As spreadable fats butter or vegetarian spreads are sufficient. The artificial product margarine is not sufficient for a full-value and natural diet even though it is thus commended in proficient advertisements.

You should diversify your oils like you do with vegetables and fruits. No two oils are identical in their composition. Each oil contains different constituents that our organism needs in their whole diversity to function optimally.

Overview of alkalinity and acidity providing foods

You are what you eat!

This well-known proverb illustrates a serious problem that affects a lot of people in our prosperous society since our nutritional habits have radically changed during the last centuries.

For more than two million years human beings have fed on vegetable and plant based foods like wild uncultivated vegetables, nuts, roots, seeds, berries and fruits. Additionally they moderately consumed animal protein in the form of mostly raw meat or fish. Our ancestors often moved for up to thirty kilometres per day on their search for something edible. On the basis of this nutrition and exercise the metabolism, cardiovascular system, physique and digestive tract of the human being were developed.

With the help of vital substances from foods that we eat and drink on a daily basis our organism forms its cells, organic system and physical structures and keeps up regeneration itself.

Nutrition today

Today we eat large quantities of animal protein, salt and fat, sweets and treats as well as white flour products. Acidity providing foodstuffs like sausage rolls, Pizza Salami with extra cheese, soft drinks and chocolate bars are to be found daily in the diet of many people. The oversupply with foodstuffs that contain many “empty calories”[1] does in the long run not only lead to overweight and nutrition- or overacidity-related diseases of civilisation. It also brings about a lack of health-promoting and essential vital substances. In a way it is as if we starve having a full stomach.

Particularly overweight is a serious problem in all age groups today. In Germany 1.9 million children and teenagers between 3 and 17 years are overweight. That is 15 % of this age group. In the age group of grown-ups 55 % of females and 65 % males are overweight. People oftentimes turn to ready-to-serve meals or got to fast food restaurants because they lack time and cooking experience or fall victim to the clever strategies of the advertisement industry. Another important factor that promotes overweight is lack of exercise.

Dietary lessons for parents-to-be and for children and teenagers are not held. Thus a healthy alkalinity providing diet remains a secret for many people.

When is enough enough for the human being?

In addition to the unhealthy eating habits oftentimes lack of exercise or extreme exercise can be observed. Exercise is an important part of a good acid alkaline balance as long as it is pursued in a healthy degree. During exercise acids are eliminated due to increased breathing. Also the enhanced intake of oxygen supports all metabolic processes.

Emotional and physical stress, noise, harmful substances and pollution, emission from mobile phones and other energetic burdens oftentimes are this “enough” for the human being. All these influences promote the development of overacidification of the organism and civilisation diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, gout and rheumatism that result from it.

We can counteract many of these factors that endanger our health. We have to get active and inform ourselves on healthy nutrition. This brochure wants to make an informative and important contribution to this and throw light on alkalinity and acidity generating foods. It wants to show you how you can create a simple, healthy and alkalinity providing diet. What do you want to change? What are you able to change? Even small changes can make a difference. Take over the reins of health. The decision what you eat and drink every day is yours alone.

How do I nourish properly?

You should select foods that are as natural and unprocessed as possible. With a diet that is predominantly full-value and vegetarian you supply your body with all necessary nutrients and encourage the self-regulation of your acid alkaline balance. Too much acidity providing food disturbs this equilibrium of your organism.

Particularly in old age the organism can no longer compensate dietary sins like it did in younger years. The danger of overacidification rises with progressing age because the performance of liver and kidneys declines. Simultaneously the alkaline reserves in the body decrease. It is also of importance that older people are less physically active.

The History of Medicine, Meditation and Pain

I got a critical email from a MD concerning some statements I made about the connection of body-mind-soul, the importance of being a happy heart and the power of belief. The doctor wanted to see clinical evidence which I understand completely. If you study app. 15 years in a mental system/structure that is based on scientific evidence then you need proof.

Beside the fact that scientists have a hard time proofing/defining love, most people realize “some importance” of love in their lives.

Modern medicine is based on the statement that all disease is caused by external viruses and bacteria. These are our enemies and we need to fight viruses/bacteria and the symptoms of disease they cause. This approach is founded by Louis Pasteur in the late 19th century.

At the same time Antoine Bechamp founded a completely different approach: all micro organisms exist already in our body and mute into fungi which create toxic waste but only in an acidic environment!

Please read more about this in Robert Young’s book “The pH-Miracle”
“pH-Miracle” Amazon

Also I like to share a general thought concerning any clinical trials and studies: Famous physicist Werner Heisenberg stated that the outcome of every scientific experiment is determined by the consciousness of the one who is creating the experiment. In my words: As humans we are powerful beings which have the power to influence the result of an experiment via mind power. In Germany there is a saying concerning surveys: “Never belief a survey you did not fake yourself.”
That is why there are 50 scientific books on the market telling you to eat meat and 50 books warning you to eat meat.

Nevertheless it is always interesting to listen to good arguments, try things out and then take decisions in your life based on your experiences.

And now I am happy to let you know about this study:
A US study found out that meditation (Being aware of one’s breathing) reduces the perception of pain by 40%. People had these results only after a 4 day introduction to meditation.

Most are actually just made from sea water (mostly Utah) and they contain mineral salts.

Not to scare you but shipwrecked people die quickly of kidney failure when they drink sea water in trying to survive. Why? Mineral salts just push up the bloods pH-value short-term. Having a heart attack it is life saving to drink the Alkaline Drink (made with 1/2 tea spoon of baking soda or some alkaline drops and water). But drinking too much of it is dangerous.
Our bodies only do actually desperately need nano-size, plant derived minerals to deal with acids/toxins.

Conscientiously choosing to live the Alkaline Life Style is the first step into and towards a healthy and deeply fulfilled life. But if you just say my goal is to loose 20 pounds to look nice in my new pants! This might not carry you very far! Because loosing the pounds is kind of a shallow thing, you are not carried by a deep power.

It will be most likely that you will kind of fight your cravings to loose the weight and perhaps make it but then most likely gain it again. Then try to loose weight and gain it again…. Very stressful! But to deeply decide to change completely your life towards a better, sweeter and lovelier YOU. That is just great! It might take some years and eventually get very painful inside because we get to be light in our darkest moments. Thats just awesome. Then changing your life towards the Alkaline Life Style is simply good and fulfilling.

 

There will be pitfalls and disappointments but that makes us just stronger! So a deep and good commitment for the good is crucial! On the physical level there are bricks which we need to build a new body for our new self. Painful aging can and will be stopped and replaced with aging in beauty and dignity without diseases and agony.

Dr. Jentschuras vision is that the human body is created to become 100-120 years old and then we will die in peace. Be responsible for the right choices now for in order to create a good and healthy future.

The choice is now to take care of and to invest in your body in order be happy in your body for the next decades of your life! Instead of short term “fast food emotional satisfaction” lets go for deep soul fulfilling real food. Lets start enjoy life, embrace life, breathe life!

Knowing that stress, anger and frustration create acid in our body we have to take care of soul food: meet lovely people, do Yoga, practice meditation, enjoy joyful action in mother nature!

If you do have deep childhood pain lets learn and love to forgive. Most human being have covered their deep and dark pain in the lower stomach and hips area and are not even aware of it because we all long to be happy and therefor we try to do anything to get away from the pain. But the real way is the opposite: allowing and embracing the pain without indulging in it.

A very good Cranio-Sacral Therapist can be of great help with this. Please contact me if you are in Edmonton.

Dr. Jentschura’s triple jump to health and wellness is a great way to help your body to regenerate and heal itself: Alkaline Cleansing, Alkaline Purification and Alkaline Regeneration really works.

Alkaline Regeneration means to flood and therefor nourish the body with nano-size, organic minerals, vitamins and all vital substances. Change your diet: Go Green. Eat vegetables, green salad, fruits and herbs. Also enjoy dietary supplements like Dr. Jentschura’s WurzelKraft with 100 plants, to refill the mineral deposits (bones, skin, scalp, teeth, tissue) in our body which we robbed due to an over acid north american diet.

Alkaline Purification realizes the fact that the skin is our largest organ for cleansing and purification. Dr. Jentschura AlkaBath with 8 precious stones creates a high energy, high alkaline solutions for full and foot bath with pulls out all toxins and impurities via the principle of Osmosis. It is like a long bath in the ocean. Most people don’t know that as babies we bathe in alkaline solution for 10 month – amniotic fluid got a ph-level of 8.0-8.5 in a healthy mother’s womb.

Alkaline Cleansing uses the powerful cleansing abilities of herbal teas. Dr. Jentschuras AlkaHerb is made out of 49 herbs. But in drinking a very good cleansing tea you need to drink at least 1-2 liters of low mineralized water to help your body eliminate all toxins and impurities.

Knowing that most of you already take care of a good healthy nutrition we would like to encourage you to cleanse your colon. If you had a very bad diet over a long period you can eat the best diet. But your body is not able to absorb the nutrition if your colon is very polluted. We recommend hydro colon therapy but not 3 times a week but 1-3 times a month depending on your state of health. If you feel very healthy you can do even 3 cleanses a week but if you are not very healthy just do 1-2 in the first month.
