Acid and Alkaline Foods
ACID AND ALCALINE FOODS
Acid forming foods:
Meat, Fish, Chicken, Cheese, Eggs, All grains except Millet, Bread, cakes, biscuits, cereals, food containing sugar, fizzy drinks, Ice cream, beans, peas, lentils, chicks peas, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, pecan, pickles, sauces, vinegar, tea, coffee, cream, cream cheese, buttermilk, yogurt.
Alkaline forming foods:
- Fruits: Apples, Apricots (fresh and diets), Bananas, Dates, Figs, Grapefruit, Grapes, Kiwis, Lemons, Oranges, Melon, Peaches, Pears, Pineapple, Prunes, Raisins, Raspberries, Strawberries.
-Vegetables: Asparagus, Aubergine, Avocados, Beet, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Chives, Courgettes, Cucumber, Fresh Peas, Kale, Leeks, Lttuce, Marrow, Mushrooms, Onions, Parsnip, Peppers, Potatoes, Radishes, Runner Beans, Spinach, Scallions, Tomatoes, Turnips, Watercress.
-Nuts: Almonds, Brazil, Chesnuts, Hazelnuts, Pine Kernals
- Grains: Millet, plus wholegrain rice and flour are less acod forming than white rice anf flour. Besides, butter and vegetable oils are neutral.
A balanced diet contains 20% acid forming foods & 80% Alkaline Forming Foods.
A low-phosphate diet is not necessarily one lacking in phosphate, since much of the food we eat has a phosphorus content far exceeding the recommended daily intake. It is not stricly a diet at all, but rather the kind of food familiar to our forebears, before the modern era when most foods became processed.
Twenty-five years ago German clinical pharmacists Hertha Hafer did much the same thing in her book, The Hidden Drug: Dietary Phosphate, as Percy Weston has in Cancer: Cause & Cure. She identified surplus phosphorus in modern food as triggering a serious problem, curable with a low-phosphate diet, and then challenged the medical profession to reproduce her experiments and explain them scientifically.
So far they have not risen to the challenge. Hafer's special interest is hyperactivity and behavioural problems in children, including Attention Deficit Syndrome. One of her findings is that almost every such child had laryngitis as an infant or toddler - an earlier indication of imbalance in mineral metabolism caused by excessive phosphate in diet. Typically these children have an increased suceptibility to allergies, which continues into later life. For them the effect of earing phosphorus-rich food is dramatic. "Within minutes of ingesting phosphate, the balance of calcium, potassium and magnesium is disrupted and the production of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine in the brain is impaired or blocked." (p.77 of The Hidden Drug)
From being a perfectly well-behaved and normal on a low-phosphate diet, the phosphate-sensitive child in her case studies could give the appearance of becoming suddenly "nasty, arrogant, obnoxious, egocentric, disruptive, deceptive and malicious" and remain that way for days due to a single dietary lapse such as drinking a glass of Coke (which contains phosphoric acid) or eating a piece of chocolate cake made with eggs.
Hafer's low-phosphate diet is also low in sugar, and acids of the citric acid cycle, notably citric and malic acid. As she done more than most to identify what are acceptable foods for those wishing to reduce their phosphate intake, here are some of her suggestions:
Baked foods: Wholemeal bread is OK if made from flour, water, yeat, salt. But be wary if the word "emulsifier" is among the ingredients. Phosphorylated starch is another phosphate to avoid. Avoid bread made with milk or milk powder, or lecithin. Shortcrust, puff, flaky, strudel and pie pastries are OK but avoid all others. Raising agents sour dough, potash, bicarb of soda, ammonium carbonate and cream of tartar are OK, but avoid all whole grains (including Ryvita), all white bread and rolls if ingredients are unknown, frozen pastries, instant cake mix, commercially baked cake and biscuits, and phosphate baking powder.
Meat: Eat pure fresh meat, poultry and game. But avoid meat and sausages made with phosphate additives (mineral salts, emulsifiers and lecithin), bacon, cold-pressed meats such as ham and bologna, sweetbreads-kidneys, liver, offal, etc, chicken or beef stock cubes, instant stock powder, soup mixes.
Fish: Eat fresh and frozen fish and crustaceans, sardines and other fish in oil. Avoid frozen fish fingers and other frozen instant fish meals.

Avoid all cows milk, buttermilk, skim milk (as an additive or not), yogurt, all processed cheeses, cheese spreads, cheese dishes, all margarines, and manufactured icecream.
Fruits and vegetables: Fresh salads and vegetables, potatoes mashed with butter and water, green beans, peas in moderation, ripe stone fruits, canned fruit without the syrup. Avoid mushrooms, sweet corn, soy products, legumes -dried peas, beans, lentils, tomatoes.
Carbonhydrates: Favour rice, seminola/cream of wheat, sago, tapioca, arrowroot, durum wheat pasta, unbleached flour -wheat or rye, homemade puddings and custard prepared with cream and water, cornflour, roce flour, potato flour, fructose (fruit sugar). Avoid oats, oatmeal, muesli, instant rice, instant noodle, instant pudding mixes, instant thickening sich as instant gravies, pancakes, sugar, honey, glucose and dextrose.
Nuts: All have phosphorus to excess. Avoid.
Alkaline fruits (capitals indicate almost neutral): apples and cider, apricots, avocados, bananas (speckled only) berries (all), breadfruit, cactus, cantaloupe, carob, pod only, cherimoyas, cherries, citron, currants, dates, figs, grapes, grapefruit, guavas, kumquats, lemons, ripe, limes, loquats, mangoes, melons (all), nectarines, olives, sundried olives, oranges, papayas, passion fruit, peaches, pears, persimmons, pineapple, plums, pomegranates, pomelos, prunes and juice, quince raisins, sapotes, tamarind, tangerines, tomatoes.

Acid vegetables: Artichokes, asparagus tips, white, beans, all dried, brussels sprout, garbanzos, Lentils Rhubarb.
Alkaline dairy products: Acidophilus, Buttermilk, Koumise, Milk, Raw (human, cow or goat), Whey Yogurt.

Acid Nuts: All nuts, mereso if roasted Coconut, dried Peanuts.
Neutral: Sugar, refined, oils, olive, corn, cotton seed, peanut, soy, sesame, etc. Fats, lard and other greases.
Note: Because a fruit is "acid" is no indication that its reaction is the same in the body, because it actually may be alkaline. Honey and raw sugars yield alkaline ash, but on account of high concentration of sugar, become acid formers. Rhubarb with raisins or dates is very good.

Current Work Life Transformation of Ireland
Small business will play a key role in this local and global transformation. The current so-called recession is not a recession, it is a slowing down to allow for a transformation to happen.
In the 1960’s and 1970’s there was an era of social transformation, as diverse new groups of members of society - women, minorities, youth, immigrants and the disabled – challenged government, business and other traditional institutions. The period in time brought social disruption which was then followed by a period of technological disruption in the 1980’s and 1990’s. During this time, personal computers entered the market place and the internet laid the foundation for the growth of entrepreneurial activity.
With growing digital infrastructure it reduced the costs of starting and running a business and opened new markets and industries to small business.
Locally and globally the corporate world is experiencing the completion stage of what was started in the 1960’s.
Immigrant entrepreneurs frequently have contacts in their native countries as well as Ireland. This provides them with the opportunity to create businesses that link markets. The internet and other connective technologies enable these businesses to be both global and local, and to source materials and goods in one market to sell in another.
In his book, The World is Flat, Thomas Fredman claims, “We’ve entered the third phase in globalization”, which he calls “Globalisation 3.0”
He describes Globalisation 3.0 as “the newfound power of individuals to collaborate and compete globally. With cross-border skills and contacts, immigrants with small businesses are leveraging the internet and connective technologies to exploit global trade opportunities. This is creating a new wave of small business globalization, and creating broader and deeper economic links across the globe.”
Since the 1990’s, the foreign born share of the Irish population has grown substantially, resulting in a strong increase in immigrant –formed businesses.
CSO statistics show that already, foreign owned enterprises, representing just 11% of the total number of enterprises in Ireland, contribute to nearly half - 43% - of the total turnover for Ireland of all enterprises.
How this segment of Irish society performs over the next decade will depend on Irish Immigration policy. However, regardless of the changes in immigration policy, small business formation by immigrants will continue to grow. Connective technologies will continue to grow in strength and links between Ireland and other economies, cross – border trade will increase and growing numbers of immigrant entrepreneurs will continue to drive this new wave of globalization.
While scientific and technological innovation is critical to the economy, it is entrepreneurship that turns innovation into economic growth and jobs.
Women start businesses for many of the same reasons men do – career independence, personal fulfillment, professional challenge, and work-life balance. Women coming from the corporate world see entrepreneurship as a way of steering around the traditional “glass ceiling” they may have faced in previous jobs. With the scheduling flexibility the personal and small businesses offer, women can meet both family and work demands in a more balanced way.
What’s holding women back? Exclusion from informal networks, misconceptions about women’s roles and abilities, and commitment to personal or family responsibilities is key impediments to top earner positions. While women are making progress, catalyst research forecasts another 40 years before women have equal access to key positions in large corporations. So women are choosing the entrepreneurship model to progress forward with their lives.
Entrepreneurship offers an alternative to women with corporate experience. It is reported that mid-career women are the group most likely to succeed in starting and running a business. Women have sharp business acumen and solid managerial experience, but they feel stunted in their corporate career paths. Women are keen to create and leverage mentor – peer networks they develop themselves. Women look for a way to invest in professional growth without letting go of their family ties. Women are professional ambition and the desire for work – life flexibility are the key drivers for Women entrepreneurs.
What is required for sustainability through these interesting times of transformation is flexibility with new business design process and strategy, lots of innovation and plenty of new health and techonolgy, both in the work and home life environments.
This is where private training companies will recognize the need and demand for mid –career entrepreneurial training models. Using presentations, practical workshops, small –group sessions, and online training, a variety of small business training models and formulas prepares middle –aged people to form small businesses. These mid –stream career training models and formulas focus on the skills it takes to be a small business person. They will enhance the transition to entrepreneurial roles. They will help provide these budding entrepreneurs with the skills they need to succeed in small businesses.
We should seek to develop and encourage entrepreneurial thinking to calculate risk-taking, problem–solving and new ways of leading others to success. Business planning, niche marketing, strategic decision-making, risk management for a small business, presentation and networking skills, relevant technology applications and method for accessing capital are the key focuses for entrepreneurship.
The Digital Natives – Will emerge as the most entrepreneurial generation ever.
They are the first Generation that have grown up with digital technologies rather than having to adapt to them. The Digital natives cherish autonomy and lean towards libertarian ideals. Above all they want to be treated fairly and with respect. They have a unique fresh approach to society, information and workplace. These youth have tremendous self-confidence, but their confidence in the adult world is weak. They are distrustful of governments.
Ireland must become more flexible to this change and must not continue business as usual, they must now start to accept business as unusually as possible.
I am an award winning entrepreneur, mentor and coach. I am an incredible mother, sister, friend and personal partner. I am a true entrepreneur and pioneer in my creative thinking formulas and models. I live it, walk it, talk it.
I inspire others to rise above their fears and limiting beliefs to achieve a fulfilling life.
As a coach, I have the current life experience of achieving my goals with ease and effortless with incredible work life balance!

He describes Globalisation 3.0 as “the newfound power of individuals to collaborate and compete globally. With cross-border skills and contacts, immigrants with small businesses are leveraging the internet and connective technologies to exploit global trade opportunities. This is creating a new wave of small business globalization, and creating broader and deeper economic links across the globe.”
Since the 1990’s, the foreign born share of the Irish population has grown substantially, resulting in a strong increase in immigrant –formed businesses.
CSO statistics show that already, foreign owned enterprises, representing just 11% of the total number of enterprises in Ireland, contribute to nearly half - 43% - of the total turnover for Ireland of all enterprises.
How this segment of Irish society performs over the next decade will depend on Irish Immigration policy. However, regardless of the changes in immigration policy, small business formation by immigrants will continue to grow. Connective technologies will continue to grow in strength and links between Ireland and other economies, cross – border trade will increase and growing numbers of immigrant entrepreneurs will continue to drive this new wave of globalization.
While scientific and technological innovation is critical to the economy, it is entrepreneurship that turns innovation into economic growth and jobs.
Women start businesses for many of the same reasons men do – career independence, personal fulfillment, professional challenge, and work-life balance. Women coming from the corporate world see entrepreneurship as a way of steering around the traditional “glass ceiling” they may have faced in previous jobs. With the scheduling flexibility the personal and small businesses offer, women can meet both family and work demands in a more balanced way.
What’s holding women back? Exclusion from informal networks, misconceptions about women’s roles and abilities, and commitment to personal or family responsibilities is key impediments to top earner positions. While women are making progress, catalyst research forecasts another 40 years before women have equal access to key positions in large corporations. So women are choosing the entrepreneurship model to progress forward with their lives.
Entrepreneurship offers an alternative to women with corporate experience. It is reported that mid-career women are the group most likely to succeed in starting and running a business. Women have sharp business acumen and solid managerial experience, but they feel stunted in their corporate career paths. Women are keen to create and leverage mentor – peer networks they develop themselves. Women look for a way to invest in professional growth without letting go of their family ties. Women are professional ambition and the desire for work – life flexibility are the key drivers for Women entrepreneurs.
What is required for sustainability through these interesting times of transformation is flexibility with new business design process and strategy, lots of innovation and plenty of new health and techonolgy, both in the work and home life environments.
This is where private training companies will recognize the need and demand for mid –career entrepreneurial training models. Using presentations, practical workshops, small –group sessions, and online training, a variety of small business training models and formulas prepares middle –aged people to form small businesses. These mid –stream career training models and formulas focus on the skills it takes to be a small business person. They will enhance the transition to entrepreneurial roles. They will help provide these budding entrepreneurs with the skills they need to succeed in small businesses.
We should seek to develop and encourage entrepreneurial thinking to calculate risk-taking, problem–solving and new ways of leading others to success. Business planning, niche marketing, strategic decision-making, risk management for a small business, presentation and networking skills, relevant technology applications and method for accessing capital are the key focuses for entrepreneurship.
The Digital Natives – Will emerge as the most entrepreneurial generation ever.
They are the first Generation that have grown up with digital technologies rather than having to adapt to them. The Digital natives cherish autonomy and lean towards libertarian ideals. Above all they want to be treated fairly and with respect. They have a unique fresh approach to society, information and workplace. These youth have tremendous self-confidence, but their confidence in the adult world is weak. They are distrustful of governments.
Ireland must become more flexible to this change and must not continue business as usual, they must now start to accept business as unusually as possible.
I am an award winning entrepreneur, mentor and coach. I am an incredible mother, sister, friend and personal partner. I am a true entrepreneur and pioneer in my creative thinking formulas and models. I live it, walk it, talk it.
I inspire others to rise above their fears and limiting beliefs to achieve a fulfilling life.
As a coach, I have the current life experience of achieving my goals with ease and effortless with incredible work life balance!

Spring Cleaning with Sparkle
I woke to a beautiful Irish Spring Sunny day and decided with all the winter traffic through my house it was time to clean my carpets.
Some months previously, I had my carpets cleaned by another company and already they were mucky and dull again, so this time I decided to do my research.
Chem-Dry seemed to fit my desired "drier, cleaner and healthier" requirements for carpet cleaning.
I had been researching a book about how important it is to have a fresh clean carpet environment which points out that, toxins enter our bodies by inhaling polluted air and more and more research shows how important it is to keep your carpet cleaned.
I came across Scallan Mills Cleaning Services on the internet. Kevin Mills and Philip Scallan have bought 4 separate Chem-Dry franchises in the Dublin region as they reckon it is the best system in the market for cleaning. They have Chem-Dry Express, Chem-Dry City Express, Chem-Dry West Express, and Chem-Dry North Express. www.scallanmills.com and www.chemdry.ie
The call was made to Chem-Dry. I now understood why they use "Express" in all their franchise names… within a couple of hours, a smiling Darren rang my door bell.
I showed him around the area that had to be cleaned pointing out the stains.
Darren said to me ‘No problem, we shall have all this sorted out for you within 2 hours’.
Great ! So off I went about my business and left Darren to work away.
The next thing Hey Presto, Darren says all finished......
Wow what a great result! My carpets looked so clear, healthier and fresher too.
The rooms smelt wonderful and as the sun shined through my window the whole house felt as though it got a total spring clean in just under 2 hours.
Darren explained that no more than 2 hours is needed for the carpets to fully dry. And guess what ? They were sparkling and one week later they are still in great condition... unlike the last cleaning product which left a sticky residue on the carpet surface.
So as it says in the advertisement below is how it truly is…
Trust Chem-Dry's Carpet Cleaning products to deliver the best in home cleaning performance.
Carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way are left sparkling clean and dry in 1 to 2 hours, not the 1-2 days you may have experienced with other carpet cleaning methods like steam cleaning. Our secret is that we use the power of effervescent, carbonating cleaning solutions that are so effective that we only need to use a small amount of moisture to achieve miraculous clean carpets. In fact, we only need to use approximately one-fifth to one-tenth of the moisture that steam cleaners use. And if that isn’t enough, the ingredients used in our cleaner are copied from Mother Nature herself. We don’t need soaps, detergents, or harsh chemicals to accomplish our great cleaning results because we’ve got the power of crystal clear carbonating bubbles.
Kevin and Philip built up their reputation with big companies, providing such a good service that companies like the Beacon, Morrisson and the HSE started asking them what else they provide in terms of cleaning services.
Initially they just provided carpet cleaning services then because of the client demand, upskilled themselves, branched out and diversified into windows with the technology to reach buildings over 100ft like the Beacon
Working with the Eastern Area Health Board, and being in a hospital environment, they have also completed courses in cross infection control and now offer that service also.
Darren explained about their wonderful settee service and I said I will call him again to experience this so check keep a eye and check out my blog to see what happens when my settee receives the Chem-Dry Experience sparkle ...

A Glow with Rouge Nimue Facial
Glowing from the inside out is the result of the relaxing Nimue facials at Rouge Beauty Salon, Rathmines, Dublin.
I arrived at Rouge Beauty Salon very very wet due to an Irish down pour of rain which makes this country radiate so beautifully green and lush…. the rain is not so good to support the glow of your skin.
So I was very happy to be met by smiling radiant Tetyana who invited me into a lush, cosy, warm Rouge Room with soft music and fresh smells of aroma oils.
She invited me to totally relax and within minutes I had forgotten about the wet rainy day out side.
Tetyana began to explain why a facial is so important to our skin both for men and women.
A facial offers many benefits. The face is always subject to lots of external elements such as sun, smoke and improper home facial regime. A Facial gives the opportunity to work with a skin specialist who will analyse your skin and give you tips on how to take care of your skin.
A facial will increase your facial blood circulation and stimulate the skin.
A facial keeps your skin hydrated and moist and helps to prevent wrinkles before their time.
Tetyana began skillfully and gently to massage my face and apply wonderfully smelling lucious oils and cream to my skin. I could feel my skin begin to absorb the nourishment of the oils and with the massage it began to stimulate my skin gently. Then she placed wonderfully warm towels on my face which made the feeling of the oils and cream just soak into my skin.
Tetyana does over 800 facials a year so as you can imagine, this person knows every skin type there is to know and as I have mentioned in other article about Rouge, Tetyana’s detailed knowledge of her professional skill set gives you much confidence to ask her any question you require to understand your skin type and how to work with what you have so to enhance it better.
I am a great believer in every person is naturally different and there is no one perfect fit for all. Though if we just work with the skill of accentuating our good points and camouflaging our low points, we get a great balance and improved self esteem.
In receiving a facial, a skin care specialist will be able to create a facial experience which will support your skin type. A Facial will help you understand the proper skin care products for your skin. A facial will give you a deep cleansing - a deeper cleansing than you will be able to achieve yourself at home.
Your skin type is determined by pore size, tone, and texture. It is also determined by oil production.
Tetyana continued my facial and with a brush, applied a warm liquid mask. While that was settling into my skin she gave a neck, shoulder and arms message. By this time I had totally surrendered to her skillful expertise and began to blissfully relax even more deeply.
Within no time Tetyana was saying "Bernice your facial is complete, when you’re ready have a look in the mirror and tell me what you think"..Well all I can say is my skin was glowing, it looked radiant and felt warm and refreshed, rejuvenated for hours after.
I would highly recommend a Nimue Facial for Women. Gentlemen, I suggest you treat yourself to one too as when those hot towels touch your face not only will you benefit from the facial but also afterwards as the woman of your dreams touches your smooth Rouge Nimue Face she will believe she has found the man of her dreams, a man who truly knows how to appreciate good natural looking skin.
I have been invited to Rouge Beauty by Stella to experience a Hot Stone message so check in again to read my next Rouge Experience ……………….
