thanks for your reply subby
today looks like i may have to reduce my basal by a further 10%.
i started eating alkaline only foods and drinks a week ago. to get the best out of it you should eat as many foods uncooked as possible.
meat products and dairy products are prohibited due to their very acidic process (not to mention all of the stuff that goes into it during the animals life)
no root vegetables or grains. no alcohol, coffee, chocolate, soda drinks or fermented products ie vinegar
heres what you can eat:
l
ots and lots of green leafy vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, watercress etc etc
lemons,limes,grapefruit avocados
nuts but not peanuts
fresh tomatoes
bell peppers ~ all colours
fish
oils, olive, coconut, linseed, flax etc etc
sprouted grains/seed/nuts
not sure if ive forgotten anything in this list, but thats the general guidelines for now.
i also take bicarbonate of soda at bedtime (at least 4 hours after last meal), half a teaspoon in a little water and swish it around your mouth before swallowing.
the bicarb took about ten days before i noticed any difference in my pH levels, but as i was pretty acidic it would take time to neutralize.
hope that helps
