Blood pH and the Hauser Diet
Can FOOD effect the biochemistry of your blood?
Every once in a while we receive an email from someone regarding our use of blood pH testing as it relates to food. It is a very different concept, so its not unusual for people to be a bit confused by it.
Emailer: Sorry but you seem to have it the wrong way around. If you eat more vegetables it doesnt make you more acidic, it makes you more alkaline. PK
Our response: Dear P,
Thanks for your email and we appreciate your opinions, however, we are completely confident in our statements related to the effects of food on whole blood pH, as we have extensively tested the effect of food on blood pH in great detail on real patients, ourselves included.
Often when we receive emails such as yours, the readers typically are referring to urinary pH, which food produces the opposite effect on urine compared to blood. Proteins/fats will alkalinize the BLOOD, acidify the urine. Coffee, carbohydrates, fruits, sugar will produce an acidic effect on the blood pH, alkaline effect on the urine. Hope that helps clarify where we are coming from.

You may wonder why pH is important.
Well, our bodies are meant to be in balance. Hence, at neutral pH. This is where they function optimally. If you are not feeling your best, chances are, your blood pH may be out of range. The foods you eat will change your pH level and hence either make you feel great or not-so-great. Never underestimate the power of food! why? Because balanced blood pH can lead to disease prevention-and who wouldnt want that? So its not all about just losing weight and looking good!
If you would like to know more about how you can know for certain what foods you need to eat to give you the most energy, normalize your weight, and feel good, give us a call and set up an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Hauser for Hauser Diet Typing at Caring Medical in Oak Park, IL.
Need To Lose Weight For SUmmer? Diet Soda is NOT the Answer
The Bear and Diet Soda
For a lot of people it is hard to imagine that "calorie free" does not equal healthy! As the Hauser Diet has proven again and again, it's not about the calories! What you put inside your body is intended to nourish. A common drink we are warning people about is Diet Soda take one look at the nutrition label and you will see that there are no calories, but there are also no nutrients. And some new research is showing that it may be even worse than you think!
These are the ingredients in a common diet soda: aspartame, Phosphoric Acid, Potassium Benzoate (To Protect Taste), Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Caffeine-none of these are essential to the diet and further more there are noted negative side effects with many of these ingredients, especially with Aspartame which is an artificial sweetener.
Three recent studies have all linked consumption of 1 or more diet soda drinks to type 2 diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome, a deadly condition where someone has multiple metabolic risk factor such as excess abdominal fat, high blood fats, uncontrolled inflammation, high blood pressure, and trouble controlling blood sugars.
In fact people who consume diet soda may have anywhere from 36% to 67% increased risk on developing type 2 diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome.
The Hauser Diet encourages the correct type of eating for each individual. It combines the results of a person's specific blood work with the fresh foods that we know can nourish and strengthen the body. If you are confused about all of the information out there and don't know where to start in making changes, give us a call. We love helping people sort their way through all of the information out there and find the right path for their body and their life.
