I always knew that a high alkaline diet was keeping my immune system strong but my current state of health proves it. I'm lying in bed with what at first appeared to be a bad case of the flu. It had all of the usual signs. Except when I woke up this morning the fever had broke. It had to be my good eating habits that made the difference.I still feel a little weak so I think I'll cut this short for today. My apologies. EAT ALKALINE

The hot topic in the news recently has been healthcare reform and how to make healthcare "affordable" for all. I will be the first to admit that health insurance can be expensive. During tough economic times a family may drop their healthcare to survive economically. In times like this, the best healthcare may be a diet high in Alkaline foods. A healthy diet may be your best insurance against disease.

Eating healthy won't help much when one of the kids falls and breaks an arm or the man of the house takes a tumble off of the roof. Yet in the wake of what may be a "real ugly" flu season it would be great benefit to you and your family to boost your immune system. Reducing viral and bacterial infections through a better diet means eating a diet high in veggies and fruits everyday. Making them close to 75% of your daily consumption is recommended by many heart disease and cancer researchers.

By eating this way, you will lose weight by burning excess body fat which helps in lowering chances of heart disease and diabetes. Veggies and fruit supply the body with needed minerals and phytochemicals that optimize body maintenance and performance. Eat raw nuts such as walnuts and pecans which contain healthy un-heated oils which are full of nutrients. Your diet is your first line of defense against the ravages of influenza and other diseases. Use this knowledge to reduce your family's trips to the doctor this winter. Eat Alkaine Food

Now is a real smart time to start building a stronger immune system. The World Health Organization is saying that the H1N1 virus is "unstoppable". The WHO gave drug makers full permission to manufacture vaccines against the pandemic influenza strain and said healthcare workers should be the first to get vaccinated. Whether you get vaccinated or not, a diet high in alkaline foods will be your best way to soften the blow IF you become infected.

This virus is a global probem. No continent is unaffected. Every country will need to vaccinate residents against the swine flu virus and must choose who else would get priority after nurses, doctors and technicians. If the school systems stay open, it will mean children need immediate vacinations too. Having your children eat lots of vegetables and fruits at this time will help much in stopping the ravages of this pandemic influenza.

Special attention should be paid to your eating habits as this is the best way to strenghthen your immune defenses. Several reports showed the new virus attacks people differently than seasonal flu, affecting younger people, the severely obese AND seemingly healthy adults, causing disease deep in the lungs. This virus must be taken more seriously to keep the number of deaths to a minimum. EATING-VEGGIES.COM

I was reading an article that reinforces our many reasons to drink green tea. It appears that active compounds in green tea may slow down the progression of prostate cancer in men. Of course Green tea is alkaline and it would be a great addition to your high alkaline diet. Eating high alkaline foods (most are full of antioxidants) is an effective way to reduce your chances of developing cancer.

Researchers made capsules using green tea polyphenols to lower the level of proteins that tumors use to grow. 26 prostate cancer patients were tested, aged from 41 to 68. Each took the equivalent to drinking 12 cups of green tea -- for about a month before they had their prostates removed. Blood tests showed levels of three proteins associated with the growth and spread of prostate cancer fell. Few side effects were reported and liver function of the patients remained normal. This is just a starting point toward developing a newer and safer treatment for this form of cancer. Researchers said that it may slow the cancer but it does not shrink tumors. More studies will be needed to get better results.

Many men postpone prostate exams until it is too late. If you are over 40 years old then it is time to do the inevitable. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. The American Cancer Society projects prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 192,280 men and will kill 27,360 in 2009.
