I've been missing for a while, working full time etc. but now I got fired I have more time.
So whilst surfing the net this morning I came across the article below - I would love to hear what you think. If you think you would like to buy on hang on a short while because I ordered 2 and they should be delivered tomorrow. I will let you know what I think - I think we could all do with being more energised (without the steroids Cough!)
Hi Sokrackers, its good to see you back, sounds like you've had a right barrel of laughs! I do hope you're enjoying your forced 'retirement' and life treats you well, its great to have more time!
I'm not too sure about the product you are planning on...I'll just stick to my oxygen I think, luckily for me I have my own water supply and its good.
Best advise to achieve more energy is walk every day, or just keep moving about and drink plenty of water that's not got anything in it ( I've got a lot of Manganese in my water source ) but have U.V. and filters. Water is vital for well being, cell regeneration etc., )
Hopefully, someone might like to try this product....just out of curiosity was it very expensive?
Enjoy your freedom, what are you planning to do with all this extra time ? huff xxxx
When I look at things like this, there are a couple of tests you can apply to see if it is "medically approved" or not. It failed on the first and main one....is it available VAT free to disabled folk....and this one is not. Therefore, it will not be on my shopping list.
alkaline food examples An alkaline diet emphasizes alkaline foods such as whole fruits and vegetables and certain whole grains, which are low in caloric density. Healthy Alkaline Diet Foods involve the ideal balance between acidifying and alkalizing foods.
The body includes a number of organ systems that are adept at neutralizing and eliminating excess acid, but there is a limit to how much acid even a healthy body can cope with effectively. The body is capable of maintaining an acid-alkaline balance provided that the organs are functioning properly, that a well-balanced alkaline diet is being consumed, and that other acid-producing factors, such as tobacco use, are avoided.
How many today follow a healthy diet and regularly engage in other health-promoting activites?
The standard diet is highly acid-forming, overwhelming the body's mechanisms for removing excess acid. The staples of the diet are meat, dairy, corn, wheat, and refined sugars (all acidifying foods). At the same time, the diet is notably deficient in alkalizing fruits and vegetables.
The alkaline diet greatly reduces this acid load, helping to reduce the strain on the body's acid-detoxification systems, such as the kidneys.
Here is a list of Alkaline Foods, especially High Alkaline Foods:
Alkalizing Spices: Cinnamon, Curry, Ginger, Mustard, Sea Salt
Note: a food's acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalinizing effect in the system.
hi socrackers ,[ maybe should be my name ] love it anyway.
glad to hear your back after your "retirement "
i am of the view of hufferpuffer, on this one, its maybe just me, but i always remember when i was first diagnosed,my doctor told me never to spend money on things that are miracle cures etc. as there will be plenty out there.
i find huffers post an excellent post,
it would still be interesting what your g.p says , maybe let us know socrackers
in the mean time ill stick? to- manuka honey each day lol
all the very best socrackers, lets know how you perform
First don't forget Mauka Honey is discounted at Holland & Barratt at the moment. I cant remember what the deal is but it is a good one. I totally agree with Huffer but drinking is easier for me - yes I meant water not wine!
Just out of daftness, and if you have time, have a look at the following link - ok forget the advertising at the end - its the principle I am interested, its all an education.
i did get a good deal from h and b , but only after a dispute their ad. [ a while ago] said ALL products buy one get another for a penny, i had someone buy me one and never got the discount , the manager in the shop said the 24+ stuff didn't come under this deal, he said in was SELECTED products ,,,long story cut short after a few e mails i got my free big £52 jar , as i had proved their ad. was misleading
don't mention water please i fell asleep last night with a bottle of water in my hand, woke up in the night, thought my catheter had burst,,, what a job at 3am , anyway all's well now.
take care carol,, just going to look at the video now
So Jimmy you think I should visit Scotland and sample the waters? A visit to Scotland is on my bucket list and something I really want to do. I will make a promise to myself to visit this year.
I have to go - it okay for you but I need my beauty sleep!
hi again carol, although very interesting i find it is still advertising based,
i note the narrator had an australian accent ,
i have to say carol i live in scotland where the water is best after all they make whisky with it, which sold all over the world [ but i don't drink any alcohol at all now ]
but it really is well known about the water in scotland, it is a very soft water easier to wash in, compared to say london where the water is hard , harder to wash in, harder to get soapy suds in etc.
most folks who come here notice the difference right away, so im happy with our scottish water
and i was the one that said in my previous post, "don't mention water "
Hi Jimmy ,sorry to butt into Stephanie's post,hi Stephanie,but just wondering if you,ve tried Scottish Heather honey?I like the Manuka taste but it does,nt seem to give me any health benefits where as the Heather one does.I,m trying to figure out if it,s a regional thing,I was born in North East Scotland.It,s a lot cheaper too,give it a try I think Tesco do it,they,ve always run out so I get mine from Amazon on line.Cheers hope you are both happy and healthy.Off to bed now,night night D.
Funny you should mention that as i just read a short article on breathing exercises that increases your alkaline. The more im reading up on the the more im surprised that we are not taught about it..Acidosis is a huge issue for many of us...i bought some Ph strips the other day and my levels were 5.75....The next day i ate lots of raw kale and spinach etc and it went up to 7 and i actually felt great.
I was told right at the start of my diagnosis that i should be on an 80 % alkaline diet but i could do it then because the hospital wanted me on a high fat diet to get my weight up and its worked but i cant stand the way i feel
I think the nhs are giving us a raw deal by not giving us this sort of information
Sorry i had to rush that reply i was on my way to get a shower to go out........
I watched a documentary a couple of years ago that said our bodies had to work harder and longer to break down raw food to gain all the nutritious benefits from it and cooking the food just made it easier
They seem to change their mind about food and drink , you only have to look at the red wine issue..one week its good for us then its bad then it good and now we are back to it being bad for us
Although i made a joke of it i just cant see how we get more value from food by cooking it because we are animals at the end of the day and can live on just raw foods....
There is a program on tonight about healthy eating that ive missed called "how to lose weight well" ....It shows a lot about alkaline in our diets and from the little bit of research ive been doing its a big deal for any of us with lung issues to have plenty of alkaline in our diets so i will be looking for a repeat of it to watch..........channel 4seven on freeview called "How to lose weight well"
