Beating Candida and Parasites on an Alkaline Diet

The best luck I've had fighting parasites, personally, is with an herb called mimosa pudica seed. This herb has helped me expel many parasites from my body. For my opinions on beating parasites naturally, CLICK HERE. 

• What is the Alkaline Diet? "Most fruits and vegetables, soybeans and tofu, and some nuts, seeds, and legumes are alkaline-promoting foods, so they're fair game. Dairy, eggs, meat, most grains, and processed foods, like canned and packaged snacks and convenience foods, fall on the acid side and are not allowed. Most books that tout the alkaline diet say you shouldn't have alcohol or caffeine, either" (Link)
• "The good news is that by following the pH diet you can restore the balance to your body. Since parasites can’t live in an environment that is between 7.2 and 7.4 pH, alkalizing your diet will help remove them from your system. When you follow this diet you will be able to reverse the acidification process and make your body an inhospitable place for parasites" (Link).
• "The most effective way to rid yourself of parasites and an overgrowth is by creating an internal environment that is not a friendly host for them. The more alkaline you can be, the less you are a host. Thus why people are successful with the Alkalizing Cleanse approach. The 80/10/10 diet, if followed raw or almost entirely raw, will help you achieve that. Cooked foods, animal foods, and processed foods are actually digested as acidic, which is a perfect host for the parasites you are trying to get rid of. Removing those foods will kill them slowly" (Link).
  

Raw Foods and Acid Levels

When eating raw foods, some people develop heartburn and high acidic levels. Below are some good tips to balance neutralize your PH levels in our bodies.

1) Drink more water. Water helps neutralize the acid in our bodies. Many times heartburn develops simply because we are dehydrated.

2) Eat acidic fruits in moderation. If you are experiencing heartburn, try cutting back a little on acidic fruits such as oranges, pineapples, lemons and grapefruits, focusing more on fruits with lower acid levels such as bananas, apples, watermelons, avocados, cantaloupes, honeydew, papaya, strawberries and mangoes. Other foods with high acid levels include hot peppers, dried fruits and salty foods.

3) Eat more greens. Most greens have high alkaline levels, and they can help reduce high acid levels in our bodies. "Taking green uncooked vegetables with a fruit meal is perfectly all right. Even though some charts state that subacid and sweet fruits combine fair to poorly with green uncooked vegetables, the feeding practices at the Health School indicate that these are good combinations, indeed, even enhancing digestion of the fruit in some conditions of impaired digestion."(link).

4) Eat more healthy fats. Healthy fats found in foods such as avocados, nuts, seeds, free range eggs, coconuts, coconut oil, hemp seed oil, olives and olive oil all help decrease the acid levels in our diet.
