The Philosophy behind our Food Chart‘Your health depends on the balance of an alkaline environment, created byeating foods such as tomatoes, avocados and green vegetables. Striking theoptimum 80/20 balance and regulating your body’s acid/alkaline chemistrythrough simple changes in diet can result in weight loss, increased staminaand strength, a stronger immune system and a greater sense of wellbeing.’Robert O. Young, Pioneering scientist and author of The pH MiracleAnyone who is a fan of the alkaline diet has probablyat some point found that there are a number ofdifferent classifications for alkaline & acid foodsaround. We know it can be quite confusing to seesuch differences in the charts. The reason that chartsshow such a disparity is that some determine the pHof food before it is consumed (using PRAL PotentialRenal Acid Load research), whilst others look at theeffect the food has on the body after it has beenconsumed. Thinking logically, the latter seems tomake more sense.Robert O. Young, a pioneer in the alkaline diet, measuresthe pH of food after its consumption, and we havebased the Simplexhealth Food Chart onthis too – so that we know whethera specific food will alkalise oracidify our body. To make it easierfor you to decide what to eat, we have based our mainrecommendations on experts like Robert O. Young,and then added the foods also recommended by others.That way you can decide which experts to follow.Following a strict alkaline diet doesn’t have to bescary or requiring a complicated method. As withmost things, we recommend to follow the 80/20rule; simply have a look at your plate: do 70-80%of it belong to the alkaline food groups? And for theremaining 20-30%, make sure they belong to theslightly acidifying foods, like wholemealbread (rather than bakedproduce with whiteflour) or fresh wildwater fish (ratherthan farmed fish).

Most of the freshfoods should be consumed raw (as cooking may reduce the nutrientcontent) together with 2 – 3 litres of water per day. In most areas,tap water is mildly acidic, with traces of chlorine, heavy metalsand other nasties. Therefore, test your water for contaminants,enrich it with pH drops to create alkaline, mineral-rich water.Also recommended summer savory nettle iceberg lettuce fennel seeds garden cress frisee ginger capers cardamon chervil kurkuma(yellow ginger) lattich lovage cumin borage lollo rosso lettuce lemon balm nutmeg majoran horseradishSprouts and seeds almondspumpkin seedssunflower seedssesame seed(incl tahini paste)flax seedbuckwheat groatsspeltmost sprouted seeds(including soya,alfalfa, mungo beans,chickpeas, broccoli)hummusAcid foods clove oregano pepper (black,green, white, red) peppermint allspice romaine lettuce rosmary ruccola lettuce safran sage sorrel nigella sativa thyme vanilla hyssop cinnamonDrinks green drinks fresh vegetablejuice alkaline water(enriched withpH drops, distilledor ionised) water with lemonor lime juice various herbal teas vegetable broth unsweetenedsoya milk almond milk goats milkFor more information and other useful resources, please visit www.simplexhealth.co.uk any form of meat,incl. beef stock fish and shellfish milk and milk products(incl. low fat versions),like quark, yoghurt, kefir,cheese, ice cream,cream, eggs, milkshakes mustard, vinegar, ketchup most nuts, except almonds wheat products, incl. pizza,pasta, rice, bread, rolls,wholemeal products, sugar, sweets, honey,artificial sweeteners transfats, margarine,saturated fats, hydrogenatedoil, corn oil fruit juices and sparklingdrinks, like sparklingwater, lemonade, coke coffee, black tea, green tea,fruit teas alcohol all fruits except for the oneslisted as alkaline all ready mealsThe general guidance is thatfatty meats, dairy products,sweets, alcohol, tobacco areto be avoided.

And wherever you canreplace very acidic foods with slightly acidicfoods, here are some examples: use wholemeal flour rather than white flour,avoid all ready-made & processed foods,use natural sweeteners over artificialsweeteners,and replace coffee & tea withherbal teas.Sometimes our intuition isfooled: some foods mayappear acidic, but they areactually alkaline!
