Acidosis: The Consequence of an Acidic Diet



Acidosis, is a condition that occurs when the blood in our bodies becomes too acidic. Although it can be life-threatening, acidosis can be prevented through proper diet and lifestyle choices. However, it can be challenging to know where to start, especially when doctors may not give us the answers we need.



In The Video above, Romain shares his experience with acidosis and how he overcame his diagnosis. After experiencing gout flare-ups and constant pain, Romaine discovered that his body was highly acidic, leading to his condition. Despite visiting several doctors who prescribed him pills without explaining what was wrong, Romain was determined to take his health into his own hands. He discovered that the water he had been drinking was causing many of his health problems and a lack of nutrition.



The American diet is highly acidic, with many popular foods and drinks being the main culprits. Examples of these include sugar, coffee, and animal protein, which are commonly consumed during breakfast. When we have a ritual of eating acidic foods, we are at risk of developing acidosis. This condition is caused by an accumulation of lactic acid, which can cause the blood to become too acidic.



So, what can we do to prevent acidosis? The first step is to be mindful of what we eat and drink. For example, drinking alkalized water can help balance our body's pH levels. However, finding good nutrition in our food can be challenging, as many fruits and vegetables no longer have the nutritional value they once did. For instance, corn is a typical food, but less nutritious than many believe it to be. Therefore, educating ourselves about what we consume is essential in maintaining a healthy diet.



In conclusion, acidosis is a condition that can be prevented by taking care of our diet and lifestyle choices. It can be frustrating when doctors cannot provide us with the answers we need, but taking our health into our own hands is essential. By being mindful of what we consume and ensuring we get proper nutrition, we can stay healthy and maintain homeostasis.

Eugenics on The East Coast

The influence of eugenics on the east coast By Samantha Aiko Introduction  Eugenics was a movement that began in the early 20th century based on the premise that specific groups of people were of a master race. This idea was first popularized by Francis Galton, an Englishman influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection. He believed that genius could be passed down through genes, but he also believed that negative traits could be controlled and eliminated from society. Eugenicists around the world took up this mantle, including America where eugenicists like Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller Jr funded institutions dedicated to eradicating diseases like mental illness from our gene pool altogether. Their efforts resulted in over 60% of institutionalized Americans being sterilized against their will - with many believing it would prevent them from passing down mental illness or chronic disease to their children." Eugenics was a movement that began ...
