Lecture 2: Change Your Biological Health Through Acid and Alkaline
Learn how to create an alkaline condition and improve health. Research suggests stress is a primary cause of illness. When stressed we become more acidic. At the same time many common foods are acidic forming. Remaining acidic over a long period of time increases the risk of many common health problems, including cancer, arthritis, headaches, skin rashes, indigestion, ulcers and a weak immune system. Simon will take pH readings from each person’s saliva and explain how to maintain an alkaline condition. Please do not eat or drink anything except water for one hour before the talk. Simon is the author of Macrobiotics For Life and Modern Day Macrobiotics.
Lecture 3: Freedom from Stress: Simple Practices to Reduce Stress
If research and medical claims are to be believed, stress is the biggest cause of ill health. The likely mechanism by which this happens is that under stress we become more acidic and when combined with an acid forming diet we become so acidic we biologically and chemically compromise our health. Simon will take you through a practical easy approach to reducing stress that takes less than fifteen minutes a day and explain how you can ensure that you are eating an alkaline forming diet.
