1. Drink your lemons

Lemon is the ideal food for restoring acid-alkali balance. Drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice in water, or adding it to tea, salad dressings (in place of vinegar), baking or cooking, helps maintain the body’s internal “climate” at a pH which supports healthy bacteria instead of the viruses and harmful bacteria which thrive in more acidic environments. Apple cider vinegar is another great way to improve your body’s alkalinity, but the taste of lemons is much more pleasant!

Cancer is a living organism capable of its own thought. It grows in a certain kind of environment toxic, to be precise. There is a possibility of cancer regression/ disappearance when toxicity is eliminated.

This is true both for “real” and metaphorical cancers.

Call it the arrow of cancer. Like the arrow of time, it was supposed to point in one direction. Cancers grew and worsened.

Here’s what NY Times writes about it:

Does running a marathon push the body further than it is meant to go?

The conventional wisdom is that distance running leads to debilitating wear and tear, especially on the joints. But that hasn’t stopped runners from flocking to starting lines in record numbers.

Last year in the United States, 425,000 marathoners crossed the finish line, an increase of 20 percent from the beginning of the decade, Running USA says. Next week about 40,000 people will take part in the New York City Marathon. Injury rates have also climbed, with some studies reporting that 90 percent of those who train for the 26.2-mile race sustain injuries in the process.

But now a best-selling book has reframed the debate about the wisdom of distance running. In “Born to Run” (Knopf), Christopher McDougall, an avid runner who had been vexed by injuries, explores the world of the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico, a tribe known for running extraordinary distances in nothing but thin-soled sandals.

The human body functions at a very delicate temperature balance of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This is usually the measure for finding out whether you are in “normal” health or not. However, the most accurate measure of health is your blood chemistry or more specifically the alkaline/acid balance in your blood stream, which for a healthy person is at 7.365.

However, most of us lead unbalanced lives and our dietary habits are anything but healthy, which leads to a buildup of acidity and toxicity in the body. The system which cleans out the toxicity is the lymphatic system. But it only works when the muscles of the body move — it does not have a pump like the heart, so it relies on muscular movement and breath. Deep breathing and active movement like exercise, yoga, walking etc helps pump the lymph thru the lymphatic system.
