If we eat too many acidic foods, our bodies do all kinds of things to adjust. The body will pull calcium from the bones to regulate the pH of the body. Meat is very acidic and can upset the body’s pH. As reported by McGill University, “animal proteins can inhibit the absorption of calcium.”(1)

Unprocessed vegetarian foods are primarily very alkalizing and help maintain a good pH. For this reason, vegetarians may not need as much calcium as carnivores.

Magnesium helps with the absorption of calcium. I do not recommend supplementing calcium.
In Dr. Thomas E. Levy’s book “Death by Calcium”, this board-certified cardiologist argues that the regular intake of dairy and calcium supplementation promotes all known chronic degenerative diseases and significantly shortens life.

I believe that consuming foods containing good sources of calcium and magnesium is the best way to get these nutrients. Broccoli, kale, collard greens, and mustard greens are good sources of calcium and magnesium.

If you are taking calcium, thinking it will make your bones stronger, here are a few suggestions that are healthier options.

First, start doing some weight training! It doesn’t have to be much or too heavy. Find what works for you. Weight training increases bone density, and it improves muscle mass, balance, and connective tissue strength. It also increases your metabolism!

If you truly want stronger bones, I recommend wearing the x39 and x49 patches by Lifewave. Click here to see how this technology works. The clinical studies show improved bone strength. In the following video discussion, David, the inventor of the patches, David Schmidt CEO LifeWave, discussing x39 and x49 and how they can improve your health.

If you decide to order, I would order the X39 & X49 bundle, they both stimulate the body’s own stem cells. If you do order, please use my link and they may ask for my I D Number is 1439757 and my link will say “nancyaddison “

I have been a regular guest speaker at Parker University. I teach nutrition and “The Healing Diet” for Dr. Michael Hall’s class. Part of my talk concerned stress. I taught them a 3-minute meditation to help them cut down on stress and actually regenerate their own stem cells. They loved it! I teach this to my clients, at my seminars and at my speaking engagements.
Here is a nice quote on meditation that I thought was good. Hope you like it!

“Profound meditation in solitude and silence frequently exalts the mind above its natural tone, fires the imagination, produces the most refined and sublime conceptions. The soul then tastes the purest and most refined delight, and almost loses the idea of existence in the intellectual pleasure it receives. The mind on every motion darts through space into eternity; and raised, in its free enjoyment of its powers by its own enthusiasm, strengthens itself in the habitude of contemplating the noblest subjects, and of adopting the most heroic pursuits.”
Johann Georg von Zimmermann

Hope you have a stress free and relaxed day!
