80% alkaline ad 20% acid food for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Jul 10 aft 2

From an ebook that I downloaded for free
Alkaline diet
Thus , our daily diet should consist of four-fifth of alkaline-forming foods such as juicy fruits,
tubers, legumes, ripe fruits, leafy and root vegetables and one fifty of acid-forming foods
containing concentrated proteins and starches such as meat, fish, bread and cereals. Eating
sensibly in this manner will ensure the necessary alkalinity of the food which will keep the body
in perfect health.
Whenever a person has acidosis, the higher the ratio of alkaline forming foods in his diet, the
quicker will be the recovery. Acids are neutralised by alkalies. It is, therefore, imperative that

persons suffering from various ailments are given adequate alkaline ash foods to offset the
effects of acid-forming foods and leave a safe margin of alkalinity.
The most agreeable and convenient means of alkalizing the blood are citrus fruits and fruit
juices. The alkalizing value of citrus fruits are due to large percentage of alkaline salts, mainly
potash, which they contain. Each pint of orange juice contains 12 grains of potassium, one of the
most potent of alkalis. Lemon juice contains nine grains of the alkali to the pint and grape seven

grains.

This is exactly prescribed by Sadhguru.
I recalled that when I was first diagnosed with RA, I asked the Specialist if I need to control my diet. She said no need and then I told myself I am okay then with RA. As long as I don't need to have control diet I am happy.

Then comes Isha,..when Sadhguru talks about raw food and being vegetarian I was so upset and totally switched off. My greatest challenge being in Isha is the food.
It took me nearly 5 years (in late 2013) plus after the initial scare of cholestrol that I took out meat from my system. It happen quite effortlessly, no drama.

And now that RA flare finally happens due to lapse of medication and my allergy reaction of weight gain from steriods I am now faced with this ...finally it is food...it is diet.....my greatest fear...my greatest karma is food. Food and Sadhana plays equal importance to me.

The blessing is that now I know my greatest value is Sadhana and not food....Sadhana has overtaken food.
Sadhana makes me happy and food is no longer good for me..
I used to say I live to eat...and now I said I live to do Sadhana..
