My new diet.
Linny:
The eating for your bloodtype is pretty controversial. I do believe we are one of 3 types however. But the 3 types have to do with protein and carbs.
There are people who can live long and healthy on a vegetarian diet and others who start out strong and then begin getting sick on it.
And all vegetarians have to supplement B12 which tells me that we were meant to eat meat. It is the quantity and quality that seems to be at issue.
Moderation is definitely the key and getting ample sunshine hitting your body (without sunscreen to block it), eating live foods and not all dead, drinking lots of pure water, and making things from scratch. Pretty much common sense really.
My mentor whom I dearly loved who was the healthiest woman I knew and who ate extremely well dropped dead of an anurism at age 61 while my father who did NOTHING to take care of himself died at 73. He was in a nursing home and sickbed for his last years while she was literally building a house up to the minute before she died and was ministering to many people with love daily. There is no comparison to the quality of life issue.
Obviously your time to go is pre-ordained by God but I also know that learning this information that has kept my kids in perfect health up to now was also all from Him.
For that I am very thankful.

Craig, excellent post you made. I enjoyed it very much.
Here I go with plant talk again, but it does relate to diet and nutrition.
We are so similar to plants in the way of nutrient needs and the components that we are made up of.
I'm going to give an example of a plant grown in hydroponics. I sample the water for total dissolved solids. If TDS is 150ppm and I'm aiming for a TDS of 700 of nute levels then I add micro and macro nutrients until I reach this number.I have to consider that the tap water of 150 will consist of calcium,iron,mag, chlorine and all that other junk thats in there, but the number is small enough that the impurities will never be noticed unless I'm growing a plant in organics. Chlorine will kill microorganisms and off set the entire organic system resulting in an unstable environment that weakens the immune system. Ok back to hydro plants. Hydroponic is an absolute complete controled system of precise nutrients applied to plants 3-5 times daily. PH adjustments are made daily with either phos. acid, or nitric acid. PH is the most important factor in hydro or soil. In hydro the slightest change in PH will cause nutrient lock up that prevents the plants intake of nutrients in the order that they require to stay healthy. I can give them the minimum or the maximum amount of nutrient levels and keep them healthy only if the Ph is ideal. A little shift each day up or down doesn't harm them, but a consistent unbalanced Ph will result in weak plants that literally starve of nutrients that has been provided to them but they can't receive them as they should because of the nute lock up. They become susceptible to disease just as we do.
Organic is basically the same way. PH imbalance takes longer to notice, and also longer to correct.
I think that we are the same as plants in that we can eat what is good for us and as Craig said moderation is the thing, but if our PH is imbalanced then we become just as the plant. All foods affect PH. PH is acidic which is not healthy. The slightest shift in PH affects our entire system.
PH balance will prevent us from getting many illnesses and disease, even cancer. Its much tougher to make adjustments after your sick and might not heal you at all.
PH is the key to nutrition.
Some where you can find a list of foods that affect PH and how to keep it level by avoiding too much of the things that cause it.All of the side by side test I have performed on many types of plants showed that a perfectly strong healthy plant was always in every case became ill due to PH shift. PH is always the first and main factor to most illness in plants.
I can check my body PH daily and its always acidic of an average of 5.5. Not good at all. I'm getting nutrients but not receiving all of them. Nutrient lock up.
Hope this is useful in someway. I've provided a link about body pH.Many links are out there if you want to check.

Lupac:
Can you eat lime? Just wondering, you know, to bring acid down.
Kat:
Hi Lupac,
Here is a list to help you see what foods are considered alkaline forming and which are acidic forming. But note that these lists vary somewhat from site to site.
Alkaline - Acidic Foods
Acidic Foods
-Corn
-Meat
-Beans
-Fish
-Fowl
-Most grains
-Coffee
-Plums
-Prunes
-Cranberries
-Distilled water
Very Acidic Foods and Supplements Include
-Eggs
-Liver and other organ meats
-Gravy
-Broth made from bones or other animal parts
-Wine
-Yogurt with active cultures
-Buttermilk, including buttermilk pancakes and biscuits
-Sour cream
-Most fermented foods and aged cheeses
-Some B vitamin supplements (or foods supplemented with B vitamins) can make your stomach more acid
-Hydrochloric acid supplements
-Digestive enzymes
Alkaline Foods
-Most fruits, except as noted above
-Most vegetables, except as noted above
Very Alkaline Foods Include
-Bananas
-Chocolate
-Figs
-Mineral water
-Orange juice
-Potatoes
-Spinach
-Watermelon
-Dandelion Greens
The chart categorizes a food as either acidic or alkaline based on the effect consumption of the food has on urine pH. For example, if a food tends to increase the acidity of urine after it is ingested, it is classified as an acid forming food. Conversely, if a food increases the alkalinity of urine after it has been ingested, it was classified it as an alkaline forming food. The effect foods have on urine pH may be quite different than the pH of the foods themselves. For example, orange juice is a highly acidic food due to its high citrus acid content, but after being metabolized it will cause urine to become alkaline.

Roy Martin:
Great list Kat, I'm going to print it and hang on the frig.
Lupac you want to keep the pH alkaline.Its not likely that you'll ever need to lower it.
