Food Allergy Myths

Nov 11th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Allergies

You’ve probably heard a lot of things in your lifetime about food allergies, some of it true, some that didn’t really seem too true. Here are just a few of the myths people believe about food allergies and the real truths behind them.

Myth 1: You don’t need to go to the doctor if you simply avoid the food you’re allergic to.

You may know a food doesn’t make you feel good, but if you’re not a doctor you’re much more likely to make an incorrect assessment. You could be attributing your symptoms to the wrong ingredient in a food, or you could be thinking you have a food allergy when it’s really another allergy or a digestive disorder. A doctor will be able to determine the true cause of your problems.

Myth 2: You are allergic to all foods that make you sick.

Alkaline Acid Diet Explained

Aug 8th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Diet & Weight Loss

The body is always trying to maintain a state of balance known as homeostasis. The alkaline acid diet is designed to help you reach this balance when the internal environment has become more acidic. If you are experiencing health problems, try the alkaline acid diet.

The basics

Acidity and alkalinity are measured on the pH scale. Numbers from 1 to 6 are considered acidic with 1 being the most acidic. On the other end, numbers from 8 to 14 are considered alkaline with 14 being the most alkaline. The body maintains a neutral internal environment which corresponds to a pH of 7. The stomach contains a weak hydrochloric acid but it is maintained within the organ.

Your food

Have you ever had to take a Tums® for a sour stomach? The formulation in acid indigestion pills is designed to be alkaline to neutralize the overabundance of stomach acid. Each cell in the body has to operate in a neutral environment. When the environment is acidic you can become more prone to diseases like cancer, digestive distress, obesity and heart diseases.

Jul 9th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Digestive Health

Sadly, many of us have experienced the burn of acid reflux and either ignored it, popped a Tums or perhaps did something we thought was going to help like drink a glass of milk only to find out that we made it worse. Someone right now, may be reading this article and feeling the burn of acid reflux and not really know what they are feeling. Most of us tend to chalk the burn to that second slice of pepperoni pizza we know we shouldn’t have had or to that heavenly rich and extremely fattening dessert that we indulged in just before bedtime. All of us can experience the occasional heartburn or indigestion but some of us are actually feeling acid reflux, are you?

When stomach content and stomach acid hits the esophagus it can cause a burning sensation in the chest or throat because unlike the stomach lining the lining of the esophagus and throat are not designed to accommodate the acidic content that the stomach can withstand.
