Your body's Acids
by rudy silva
Every part of you is made from
minerals - your bones, cell structure, lymph liquid, arteries,
organs, tissue, muscle, hair, and so on. You cannot live
without minerals. Your body does not produce
minerals.
Where do you get your
minerals?
You get them from vegetables and fruits and good supplements.
Since only 10% of the people eat enough fruits and vegetable,
the rest of you are deficient in minerals.If we eat enough
vegetables and fruits, why do we have to take a mineral
supplement?

Heartburn - An Acidic
Indigestion To Be
Forgotten
Sharon Hopkins
It can be stated as a burning
feeling which keeps bothering
you now and again. This happens
mainly because due to acidic
fluid flowing upwards from the
stomach into the esophagus or
the swallowing tube. Even
though it is known as
heartburn, it has nothing to do
with the heart. It is very
common digestive problem.
Sometimes you can feel the pain
at the same level on the back.
Heartburn, indigestion and pain
all go hand in hand causing
problems for us. Knowing about
your nutrition can help in some
manner to provide relief for
the heartburn.
Heartburn for our own surprise
is very common in our society
and people who consider
themselves healthy may
sometimes be the soft target.
It is a very uncomfortable
feeling and can sometimes be
dangerous. Heartburn mainly
occurs after meals and even
when you skip meals can cause
such problems. It has been
noticed that at least once a
month a person suffers from
heartburn which may not be good
news.
Some common symptoms of
heartburn
*A burning sensation or pain in
the chest

throat makes things worse for

*Having a cup of vanilla ice
cream or drinking a glass of
cold milk can do the trick
*Almonds help in relieving
heartburn and having it
everyday will help you a
lot

salt helps to prevent
heartburn

down

Long time ago when the soil was rich in minerals,
vegetable and fruits were jammed pack with minerals. Fruits and
vegetables were not picked early, frozen, waxed, radiated, or
stored in argon gas. Those who ate these vegetables and fruits
obtained an adequate supply of minerals and seldom has a
deficiency.
Today the opposite is true. You and I cannot get enough
minerals from eating fruits and vegetables. Now we eat more
cooked vegetables, more vegetables in packages, fruits and
vegetables that are waxed, and vegetables from other countries
not processed properly.Today, we need to supplement our eating
habits with a live mineral liquid to make up for the lack of
minerals in the good food and junk food we eat.
