THREE REASONS YOU MAY WANT TO REDUCE THE INTAKE OF PASTRIES.
Pastries tend to be high in saturated fats that come from the margarine used in making pastries. Saturated fats in diet have been identified as a major risk factor leading to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke etc in numerous research.
Moreover, refined sugar are usually used in making pastries which cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, over stimulate and eventually exhaust the mechanism that reduces blood sugar over time, consequently leading to diabetes and its complications.
Last but not least is baking soda which is added to pastries. It increase the level of sodium in the blood beyond normal especially when pastries are frequently consumed. The likely dangerous health implication is high blood pressure (hypertension). One thing to think through is that our fore fathers lived longer,,,and obviously pastries were not part of their diet. Maybe we can do ourselves lots of good if we consume these foods moderately and if possible occasionally.

Although legumes such as beans,soyabeans,nuts etc are a great source of proteins and other beneficial substances they contribute to making the pH of blood or body fluids more acidic by yielding more uric acid. The other culprit is the cereal foods such as rice and maize. In fact pop corn has been found to bring the pH of body fluids to as low as 4 which is very acidic. Beers made from cereals such as barley, sorghum yields uric acid. Coffee, beef, cheese and fish are also involved in making the body more acidic.....we will continue next time with those foods that reverse or correct acidity and make the body fluids alkaline.

....CANCER requires an acidic medium to thrive and grow more cancer cells. Cancer cells are known to absorb more sugar ( since they have more glucose receptors, 15 times more) than even the body cells. Cancer cells need sugar to grow, so cancer patient taking in more sugar are rather helping to fuel the growth of the cancer. It will be more beneficial for them to adopt a diet with low or no carbohydrate ( starchy and sugary foods) and high in healthy fats (this diet is what is known as ketogenic diet) Ketogenic diets starve cancer cells to death.
We will be looking at some foods and how they affect the acidity or alkalinity of the internal environment of the body next time.....

This is very interesting and is A MUST READ, like and share with your friends. it might help someone.
Did you know that all diseases of the human body require an acidic environment to develop? In fact no disease can thrive in a neutral environment of the body.That is why the body is always striving to maintain the environment around neutral. An acidic body means that the fluids of the body (mainly blood) has higher levels of acidic substances present.(making the pH 7). Sugars and carbohydrates have been named as one of the foods that makes the body more acidic.They cause an inflammation in the cells of the body and provides the perfect storm for diseases........

People on high protein diets need more water than they thirst for in order to provide the kidneys with enough water to flush out the waste products(nitrogen) of protein breakdown.

High protein intake may also put excessive stress on the kidneys to eliminate (excrete) the excess nitrogen supplied by the protein into the urine. Although the kidneys of most healthy people can handle nitrogen excess with ease, kidneys under strain have more difficulty. This is the reason people with kidney failure are placed on low protein diets.

The consumption of too much protein may cause the body to excrete more calcium out in the urine and may weaken the bones.

SAUSAGE CAUSES CANCER, World Health Organization has confirmed that processed meat such as sausage, bacon, hot dogs etc causes cancer.

28/10/2015

A recent report published by the world health organization says that processed meat such as sausage, hot dogs, ham and bacon causes cancer (colon, stomach, and other cancers). The report says that eating even less than two slices of bacon in a day can increase the chances of getting colorectal cancer by 18%. So it is adviced that we avoid it. Red meat may probably cause cancer as well. Processed meats now joins to***co and asbestos on the list of cancer causing substances (carcinogens).
