All foods leave an ash residue after metabolism which is either alkaline or acidic, depending on the mineral composition of foods and the way in which individuals digest them.
Individual stress patterns, ability to process life’s ups and downs, and emotional stability, all impact on the digestive system, influencing it’s action. Stress, negative emotions, poor food combinations, excess acid-forming foods and drinks and insufficient digestive capacity can produce acidic residues. Good food combinations, moderate quantities of food chewed well, relaxation, soothing light massage, moderate non-confronting exercise, deep breathing, meditation, prayer, centeredness, moonlight and unconditional love, are all alkalizing.
The human body needs an alkaline environment to continue proper functioning of vital organs. Once the alkaline reserves are depleted by excess acid-forming foods and mental states, a positive acidity is reached, the body breaks down. Alkaline reserves (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron and manganese) are created by alkaline forming foods.

Guide to the Use of the 80/20 Food Theory Chart
Make changes gradually. If you normally eat a lot of acid-forming foods gradually increase the alkaline-forming foods in your diet over some months.
Be patient. Changes can only happen at your body’s organic pace. Moderation-confronting exercise and water on a daily basis will speed the fluid turn-over rate.
Maintain the 80/20 Rule, with flexibility. In the winter you may need more acid-forming foods as they are the warming foods.
Rest and sleep are alkalizers. So are exercise (non-confronting type), fresh air, pleasure, laughter, good conversations, enjoyment and unconditional love. Eliminate the acidifiers which are fear, worry, anger, gossip, hatred, and envy.
Eat according to occupation. Hard workers can burn up heavy foods,, those who are sedentary stay healthier on lighter cleaner burning foods like fruits, veggies, whole no-glutenous grains of millet, buckwheat, corn, rice and nuts, seeds, pulses and beans.
Deep breathing release at least 50% of body toxins, so take care to breathe to the bottom of lungs if your work does not provide this release.
Think Positve. Focusing on the positive things in your life has an alkaline affect.
