Date: June 29, 2006 09:01AM most garden vegitables are high in fiber, and water.
both of which are good for you. Brocoli is very high in fiber and is the best at fighting cancer and desiese. really good antioxidents and stoppers of those nasty free radicals. don't use a laxitive or stool softener. those could dehydrate you Re: Fruits and Veggies with Fiber

Date: June 29, 2006 08:44PM any citrus fruits will give you a good start of energy in the morning. I usually go with oranges, kiwi, grapes and an apple for breakfast. Re: Fruits and Veggies with Fiber

Date: June 30, 2006 12:31AM We should limit the quantity of fruit because of their acidity. You can also consider selecting fruit that are less acid. Here is a site on that issue

Date: June 30, 2006 12:54AM Nothing is bad in itself, it is the quantity. Eating one orange in the morning is ok but juicing three or more oranges is not good for you. You need to keep the balance of acidic alkline ratio in check. We have the tendency to eat too much fruit with the consequence of making our body more acidic. Fruit are very appealing but the danger of eating too much is there. I limit my quantity of fruit and even when I eat fruit, I stay away from acidic fruit. Re: Fruits and Veggies with Fiber

Date: June 30, 2006 01:20AM it is my understanding that the acid in oranges and citrus
fruit is citric acid "vitamin C" and the human body can easily expell the vitamin c through the urine the only side affect of too many oranges is orange pee things that cause acidic ph are cooked foods and toxins not fruit. it is true that you should eat a variety of fruit but most of them have vitamin c like straw berries blue berries rasberries mangoes. maybe not so much in bananas and avacadoes (you should eat those too). maybe if you are starving your self like rawguy2000 wants to do than your fruit needs change. but if all you are worried about is body ph you should include a healthy sevring of greens. that will even out youre ph. not too acidic or too alkaline,right? the ph or normal sea water is a healthy and achieveable goal .

Date: June 30, 2006 01:31AM Another thing to consider is the Calcium to Phosphorus ratio of the food eaten. That ratio should be greater than 1. Here is a chart on that.

Date: July 04, 2006 08:33PM Just because a fruit is acidic does not mean than the effect on the body will be to make it more acidic. Lemons are a good example, they are acidic but they are alkalising to the body.
There is some debate about oranges, but charts on the internet suggest they are alkalising - see the chart towards the end of this page: [www.naturalhealthschool.com] My own experince suggests that they do not cause an acidic effect on the body, when I lived in Spain, during the orange season (Dec to May), I would eat upto 10 oranges per day and as always plenty of greens. When I had my pH tested, it was within the correct range. Rob -- Rob Hull - Funky Raw My blog: [www.rawrob.com] Re: Fruits and Veggies with Fiber

Date: July 05, 2006 05:06PM Most vegetables contain fiber - just go to the store and walk through the produce section picking out things that appeal to you.
If nothing appeals to you then you might have to try some fancy recipes to make raw vegetables seem tastier until your body develops a taste for vegetables on their own. Re: Fruits and Veggies with Fiber

Date: July 06, 2006 01:52PM Bananas are not good for bm's, in my opinion. Too many nuts can hurt, as well as eating dehydrated food.
Try eating juicy fruit in the mornings, and a combination of watery vegatables (celery, tomatoes, cucumber) with fresh greens (spinach, romaine, lambsquarters) and some nuts and/or seeds for lunch and dinner. (It is also helpful to soak the nuts and seeds, especially flax seeds, which should always be soaked.) Take a glass of lemon water and 2-4 cascara sagrada before bed.
