Question: Why do rich and developed countries

who can afford to consume lots of meat and milk

have a highter rate of osteoporosis?

( Frassetto LA, Todd KM, Morris C, Jr., et al. 2000)


Answer: It's not how much calcium you take
but how much calcium you lose.


Apparently, animal protein causes the body
to lose calcium three to four hours after consumption.
(Hegested M, Schuette SA, Zemel MB, et al. 1981)


Why is that you ask?


Basically it has got to do with the PH value
of our body and the food we eat.



Our body releases calcium in order

to neutralise the abnormal acidity in our body.

Acidic Food: Milk, Meat, Fish,

Cheese, White sugar, Alcohol.

Alkaline Food: Vegetables, Fruits, Cereals,

Seaweed, Most plant based food.

"How can acidity affect me?" you asked.

It can caused Fatigue, lower your intelligence, allergy
formation of stones in your body, Cancer, Mouth odour
Hardening of arteries, High blood pressure, Flu ,Pains in the joints
Loosening of the skin, Increasing the speed of the loss of calcium,
Wrinkles, slow in healing, Scars.

PHEW!

So where then can I get my calcium?!!!

Soya beans and lots of vegetables like seaweed and celery .

On a side note,

the iron intake in one bowl of spinach

is equivalent to 2000 litres of milk!

Imagine your normal mineral water bottle is almost 500 ml.

1000ml = 1l

2000000ml =2000l

4000 X 500=20000.

Thus, you will need to consume 4000 bottles of milk

to get the equaivalent amount of iron you find in a bowl of spinach!
