A Matter of pH Balance

Excerpt from "The Miraculous Health Properties of Vinegar' by J. Aubry.
Dr. Jarvis, noticing how healthy his cohabitants were he soon realised that cider vinegar, a traditional loval remedy, was largely responsible.
'We are talking about nonpasteurised cider vinegar made from ripe apples, and ideally from apples that have been organically grown...... In fact, for over two centuries many Vermonters had been in the habit of taking a daily tablespoon of cider vinegar, mixed with a tablespoon of nonpasteurised honey, dissolved in a glass of water. They claim the habit has many health
benefits....'
Jarvis says it is all a question of pH. Your pH level indicates the acid-alkaline balance of your system: your level of acidity compared to your level of alkalinity......'
'It comes down to eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains; (which authorities are telling to do) to increase intake of acidic foods. That will have an alkalising effect on your system.
Reduce your intake of alkaline foods (which acidify your system when ingested): cut down on meat, legumes, tomatoes, oil and other types of fat, cheese, egg whites, processed foods and sugar.'

Mannatech's essential glyconutrients provide the eight essential sugars necessary to make the required glycoproteins. Glyconutrients give the cell-to-cell communication required to defend against disease and illness.

Avoiding Alzheimer's Disease

Whilst reading 'Woman's Weekly September 2007' I found the very interesting article 'Yasmin Aga Khan: a troubling legacy' by Dian Guernsey.
Yasmin daughter of Rita Hayworth, the beautiful Hollywood's impossibly beautiful red-haired actress, cared for her mother who, it was eventually discovered, had Alzheimer's disease.
Yasmin gave up her classical music and voice career to care for her mother and after her death in 1987 has spent time with"The Alzheimer's Association" which became her family. She appeared before the US Congress to argue for more research funding etc. and organised the first, hugely successful Rita Hayworth dinner and dance in 1984.
Dementia affects more than 200,000 people in Australia and 60% of those have Alzheimer's disease. Research suggests that dementia starts several decades before symptoms appear, "so the lifestyle choices you make now can help keep your brain healthy in later years", says Glenn Rees, national executive director of Alzheimer's Australia.
'Strategies include exercising at least three times a week to encourage blood flow to the brain; eating a diet high in fish, olive oil, nuts and anti-oxidant-rich foods eg. blueberries and broccoli; keeping neural pathways limber through activities such as crosswords, painting and reading; kicking bad habits, such as smoking.'

Mannatech Inc and founder Sam Caster, have produced glyconutrients and anti-oxidant products giving optimal health and wellness. Glyconutrients give the body's immune system the eight plant-based sugars it needs to function properly.
