pH and Stomach Health are Connected!!
pH and Stomach:
The stomach is of major importance. Many people who don't have stomach problems and tend to overlook this key organ, lacking the understanding how when the stomach does not function properly with the correct amount of stomach acid, it opens the door to many challenges that harms a person's health.
When the stomach is healthy and operating properly, it will have a fasting pH of between 1 and 2. To put this into perspective, this is so acid or so hot, that to have your finger touch it, it would burn your finger. The acid is so strong that it can dissolve a razor blade.
The two main reasons why the stomach is designed for such an acid pH are:
1. The first function of the stomach and its acid is to masticate the food into a chyme so that it is properly ready for the small intestine and its digestive process.
2. The second function of the stomach acid is to act in destroying viruses, harmful bacteria, parasites, liver flukes, fungii, nano bacteria, etc. that have gained access via the mouth or through the nose. If the stomach acid is where it belongs, this normal and daily process is accomplished. If on the other hand the pH of the stomach gets too alkaline, then often these little organisms get passed the stomach and although the liver bile, when its ph is 9.7 (its proper ph) is the backup, but often is not the case, these organisms find carte blanche to various organs, glands or tissues and begin to set up their homes. Once they reach the chronic stage, this becomes the root cause of numerous health conditions. In any good health-building regimen, this originating causal factor needs to be dealt with and corrected.
So often I will hear where a person has been led to believe that they have too much hydrochloric acid due to having symptoms such as acid reflux or acid indigestion. This is NOT true. It is not that they have too much hydrochloric acid; they have too much lactic acid. The stomach was designed to have Hydrochloric Acid and when a person exhibits symptoms such as acid indigestion, they have a deficiency in Hydrochloric Acid and an excess of lactic acid.
Lactic Acid helps breakdown the food for the small intestines when there is a lack or insufficient amounts of Hydrochloric Acid. The problem is that lactic acid is a corrosive waste product and it unable to break the food down efficiently, which consequently stresses the small intestinal function and liver function.
Additionally, lactic acid does not have the ability to destroy the harmful organisms such as the nano bacteria, the bacteria, the viruses, the parasites and the liver flukes.
The stomach was designed to use the chloride fraction of salt as its first choice to produce Hydrochloric Acid. Salt has had a bad rap as being problematic for one's health. The issue has never been salt but the way that common table salt is processed. For the large part, the major salt producers process the salt for commercial/industrial uses and the common table salt is a side benefit to the manufacturer. The processing of salt includes a number of steps including bleaching and high temperature drying of the salt. These high temperatures average between 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit and 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit. This high temperature actually welds or melts the sodium fraction to the chloride fraction making it impossible to separate the two parts and now this becomes a toxic substance and a heavy burden to the body and can be as problematic as we have been told. The issue has never been the problem with the salt but the high heat drying process.
The answer is to use salt that has been either air-dried or sun-evaporated. You will often hear sea salt - although technically sea salt and land salt are of equal quality raw material wise, it is much easier to find sea salt that has been air dried and land salt is nearly impossible to find air dried.
Children who start on air-dried salt at an early age, rarely need to supplement with HCL however most adults have not been so fortunate and have had the common table salt., should begin using and continue to use air-dried sea salt. Another good option is SALT form mountain salt mines.
When the Stomach Acid - Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) is Low
1. May lead to to immune challenging events
2. Opens the door to the early steps of bone loss
3. One of two root causes of anxiety
4. Protein digestion becomes very poor
5. Absorption of calcium, iron and B-12 is greatly compromised
6. When the stomach HCL is too low, the healthy gut ecology is compromised.
Symptoms that may indicate low HCL
1. Bloating
2. Belching
3. Acid Indigestion
4. Fullness and heaviness after eating
5. Intestinal gas

15. Undigested food in the stool
16. Candida symptoms
17. Dental Plaque (always low HCL; Most the time corrects on its own when the stomach acid is right)
18. Many other dental issues including tooth decay.
19. Waking up in the middle of the night and not able to fall back asleep

TOXIC AND DEADLY FOOD: THE "PANGA" FISH
TOXIC AND DEADLY FISH:
The panga is a new fish found mainly in the form of fish filets, at prices far cheaper. The panga fish culture is an intensive / industrial in Vietnam, more precisely in the Mekong Delta and is invading the market due to its price. This is what you need to know about the panga, the Mekong River is one of the most polluted rivers in the world. The pangas are infected with high levels of poisons and bacteria (arsenic from industrial waste, toxic and dangerous products, the growing industrial sector), metal contaminants, polychlorinated phenols (PCBs) and DDT and its (DDTs), chlorate, related compounds ( Chls) hexaclorociloxano, isomers (HCHs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB). There is nothing natural in the pangas. They're fed dead fish bones and remains of a meal from South America, cassava and soya bean residues. Obviously, this type of unhealthy diet has nothing to do with food in a natural environment. It's as close to food mad cow (cows that were fed cows, remember?). feeding the pangas is completely beyond any legal regulation. The panga is growing 4 times faster than natural in nature. In addition, the pangas are injected with (PEE), some scientists discovered that if you inject females with female hormones panga from the dehydrated urine of pregnant women, the female roe panga produce quickly and in bulk, not occur in the natural environment (a panga passes thereby produce 500,000 eggs at a time). They are basically injecting fish with hormones (produced by a Chinese pharmaceutical company) to accelerate the growth and reproduction. When buying pangas, we are working with giant corporations and unscrupulous speculators, who do not care about the health and welfare of human beings. This trade is being embraced by supermarkets that sell to the general public, knowing they are selling contaminated products. Note: Due to the prodigious amount of pangas available, they end up in other foods: surimi (those bars with fish paste), canned fish and probably some food for animals (dogs and cats). Spread the word. -

HEMP: ONE OF NATURE'S MOST PERFECT WHOLE FOODS!
HEMP: ONE OF NATURE'S MOST PERFECT WHOLE FOODS!
Hemp Nuts should be at the heart of every healthy lifestyle.
Hemp Nuts are one of the plant kingdom's most concentrated sources of protein, amino acids and essential fatty acids, containing all 10 essential Amino Acids, that are the building blocks of protein. They are rich in Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), in the near perfect ratio of 1:3.
These nutrients are required by your body, yet you cannot manufacture them. We must get Amino Acids and EFAs from the foods or supplements we eat.
Hemp Nuts' balanced composition of protein, amino acids and essential fatty acids is the ideal foundational food source. However, Hemp Nuts are difficult to process without damaging their sensitive essential fatty acids.
The hemp we use is processed using proprietary vacuum friction mill, vacuum food dryers, and cold mechanical presses, from organic Hemp Nuts grown by respected organic farmers across Canada. They are the best grade available anywhere. This proprietary process is still considered unique in the industry.
Hemp Nuts are also the highest vegan source of edestin, a simple protein that is responsible for the functioning of your immune system.
Hemp is also high in the natural antioxidants vitamins E & C, and chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, phytosterols, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, fiber, histidine, iron, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin and thiamin.
Because Hemp Nuts are nutrient rich and delicious, you will not tire of the flavor, making this potent health food something you can eat daily.
P.S. Hemp as food is nearly perfect. It is illegal to grow in United States and it has to be imported from Canada.
HempMeal is an entirely new (except it has been used extensively until about 80 years ago), unique and revolutionary approach to protein supplementation. Far superior to other processed protein powders, this nutrition is essential for healthy youthfulness, beauty, longevity and life energy.
Hemp protein from natural raw seed powder is ideal for vegans, vegetarians and for those cutting back on meats & dairy, or simply wanting to loose weight.

LOOSE WEIGHT, WHY I CAN'T ?? ¿PORQUE NO BAJO DE PESO?
LOOSE WEIGHT, WHY I CAN'T ??
I'd like to share something I'm a little embarrassed to admit.
When I used to hear someone complain they couldn't lose weight,
I thought it was because they weren't trying hard enough.
I assumed they just didn't have enough willpower or self discipline.
I was dead wrong.
Now I know if you are still struggling...it's NOT because of your metabolism, your willpower or even your genetics.
It is because the food industry has literally tricked our brains into overeating through chemistry…
This sounds strange (and scary) but there is actually an Institute of Food
Technologists that study how to actually reprogram the brain through "hyperpalatable" foods…
Yes, with its ability to create super-stimuli, the industry has cracked the code of conditioned hyper-eating and learned exactly how to manipulate our eating behavior.
They then combine "texture science" to really put us over the edge.
Did you ever notice how easy it is to chew food these days?
It is because they literally pre-process foods and then add fat so the food literally melts in our mouths. What used to take over 25 bites just 30 years ago, now only takes 10 bites for the average American.
And you wonder why we are all getting so much fatter! In my experience, even the people I meet who are at a good weight… still think about food virtually all of the time.
So even those of us who "know better" still have been hard wired to crave these foods high in sugar, fat, and salt. Research shows the brain responds just like having a drug addiction…

¿PORQUE NO BAJO DE PESO?
Me gustaría compartir con ustedes algo que estoy un poco avergonzado de admitir.
Cuando yo solía escuchar a alguien quejarse de que no podían bajar de peso,
Pensé que era porque no se esfuerzaban lo suficiente.
Supuse que simplemente no tenían suficiente fuerza de voluntad ó autodisciplina.
Yo estaba completamente equivocado.
Ahora sé que si usted todavía están luchando ... no es debido a su metabolismo, su fuerza de voluntad o de su genética.
Se debe a que la industria alimentaria, literalmente ha engañado a nuestro cerebro para comer en exceso a través de la química ...
Esto suena extraño (y da miedo), pero en realidad hay un Instituto llamado Instito de Tecnòlogos de Alimentos que estudia la forma de reprogramar el cerebro a través de alimentos “hiperpalatablesº
Sí, con su capacidad para crear super-estímulos, la industria ha descifrado el código de hiper-consumo condicionado y saben exactamente cómo manipular nuestra conducta alimentaria.
Y como un paso más, combinan "la ciencia de la textura" para realmente ponernos en el límite.
¿Has notado lo fácil que es para masticar la comida en estos días?
Es porque, los alimentos se pre-procesan y luego añaden grasa o que hace que la comida literalmente se derrite en la boca. Lo que solía tomar más de 25 masticadas hace sólo 30 años, ahora sólo tarda 10 masticadas para el americano promedio.
Y te preguntas por qué estamos todos mucho más gordos! En mi experiencia, incluso la gente que conozco que tiene buen peso ... piensan en comida prácticamente todo el tiempo.
Incluso aquellos de nosotros que "estamos concientes" también estamos “cableados” ó “programados” para desear estos alimentos con alto contenido en azúcar, grasa y sal. Las investigaciones muestran que el cerebro responde igual que una adicción a las drogas ...

ANTIAGING, ANTIOXIDANT, ADAPTOGEN: SHILAJIT
A SECRET INDIAN INGREDIENT FOR VITALITY AND IMMORTALITY.
Shilajit is an exceptional herb and adaptogen that is part of traditional Indian medicine where it is thought to be a key to immortality. Also known as “asphaltum,” “mineral pitch,” and “girij,” it is said to help remedy chronic conditions, speed recovery, and enhance all bodily functions for an overall sense of well-being.
Meaning “conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness,” shilajit comes from decomposed organic plant material from centuries ago, that has been preserved due to the sunlight and pressure of the Himalayas. This soft, heavy resin now oozes out of the Himalayan rocks and is soluble in water. Carefully purified before consuming, this brown powder contains 85 minerals including fulvic acid which is essential for transferring nutrients to your body.
What is Shilajit?
Shilajit comes from centuries old decomposed organic plant material that has been preserved by the intense pressures of high Himalayan rock layers. The soft, heavy shilajit resin oozes out of the Himalayan rocks and is carefully purified. The end result is a rich purple-brown powder containing over 70 plant-based trace minerals plus fulvic acid, which can greatly boost the absorption of nutrients into the body.
Benefits:
This mineral-rich herb is filled with fulvic acid, humic acid, and amino acids that can help support bones, muscle, metabolism, stamina, as well as enhance brain function, the circulatory, reproductive, digestive, and immune systems. It is said to contain ushan virya, or hot potency, which can help suppress pain and act as an anti-flammatory substance. Due to its light and dry properties, Shilajit can also help manage anemia, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, edema, depression, mental stress, urinary tract infection and other related conditions. The Indians also considered it to possess anti-aging properties and work as an aphrodisiac. Daily use of this wonder-herb can help maintain the body’s physical and mental strength, and overall vitality.

pH DISRUPTOR, NOT AN ENERGY BOOSTER: COFFEE!
pH disruptor, not an energy booster: COFFEE
You probably will be surprised, but coffee is not a food, it does not comply with the necessary characteristics to be considered as such. Coffee has no nutritional value, ie has no calories, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc., only antioxidants. It also contains the substance known as caffeine, which turns out to be psychoactive and can alter brain function generating changes in mood and behavior.
If we could sit down and try to think deeply about why we consume coffee, basically we come to the conclusion that we do by tradition, because our parents, grandparents, great grandparents and our ancestral chain did so.
This type of behavior is the same as a child makes when trying to imitate their parents or any adult does with a sense of belonging to the environment, be part of society.
The coffee in our Western world is associated with:
Relaxation, Coexistence, Conversation, is a kind of reward and desired meeting time. Even now there are places that revolve around coffee and deeply exploit all what we asóciate or relates to coffee to "fall" in the spell and enjoy the illusion of coffee. Like everything in our World, we can makes ourselves aware to decelop consciousness in our livie and in our choices. The act of becoming aware of our own associations and falls into coffee is an act that betters our health.
But does this kind of behavior leads to physical gain? Probably we have an emotional gain when we mantain a habit created by our loved ones, but is this wellness for our bodies?
On the other hand, you've probably never managed to get a clear idea about what is coffee consumption. Whatever it is, I think you need to know the following information so that you can finally have tools to help you make the best decision.
Coffee
First things first. Before you can proceed, it is necessary to make an important clarification. In this paper we discuss the properties, benefits, cons, consequences and perspectives on the coffee, ie coffee beans themselves, not the common drink of the day which includes more than just the extract of grains, but sugar, cream, milk, sweeteners and artificial flavors, aromas and / or conservatives, most of all ingredients that make you look at coffee as a dessert. This no doubt is quite another story and deserves a unique place.
Benefits of Coffee
Over the years we have heard and know through studies that coffee consumption leads us to obtain a number of benefits. But curiously studies contradict each other. In a week we hear of a study that found achievement benefits of coffee on the heart, but the next week we hear of another study that tells us how coffee consumption impairs the heart. It is difficult to reason and make the best decision when we are faced with this dichotomy. However, I believe that if we analyze the good and bad coffee can have a more conscious perspective.
Among the outstanding benefits we can talk about:
Antioxidants .- Rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, protecting the body, preventing hypertension and premature aging.
The highest concentration of antioxidants are found in dark green vegetables, citrus fruits, raw chocolate , vegetable juices, sea water seaweed, and sweet water sea weed such as chlorella and spirulina etc ...
Weight loss .- help you lose weight by increasing metabolism. A cup of coffee in the morning can help give you energy and perform better with an exercise routine. This energy is false, is not energy produced by the cell’s mitochondria, it is a "rush," it is the result of stimulation and not a real increase in power, the "need" of a cup of coffee in the morning stresses the body because it acidifies, and dehydrates it. Best thing to do when we open our eyes is drink a glass of pure water.
Diuretic The caffeine content helps stimulate the kidneys produce more urine, helping to eliminate toxins from the body. There are diuretics that dehydrate and do not acidify as pineapple juice alfalfa and radish leaves.
Improve Brain Function .- Caffeine helps to improve the way the brain develops throughout the day, especially in data retention, thereby improving working efficiency. For this there is nothing better than taking a vegetable juice and the ratio is 1 fruit and 3 vegetable, not taking a juice with high sugar content. Try it and feel the effect as balancing with natural foods.
Improvement in Breathing. - caffeine dilates and opens the airways, resulting in a benefit for people suffering from respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis.
We really should not use a stimulant to “open” our airways rather than do things that can help our body to do it on its own because we do have that capacity. The secret is to re-connect with oursleves in order to be able to tap into our own “Healing Powers. ” Breathing is vital for life. A diet high in nutrients and high in water, since we are 3 / 4 parts water will facilitate our breath and to integrate into our lives an activity that makes contact with our inner being is what opens the breathing, walking, yoga , swimming, etc. .. but always being with oneself.
Increase alertness .- The caffeine stimulates the nervous system, causing increased alertness. this makes us live as if we were being chased by a tiger, and sure it is not the best way to balance the body. This is the physiological state of stress, always running around and our physiology is always ready to attack and producing all the hormones needed for the fight and flight response , and that fight never arrives but the body wears out and " burns " due to its never ending state of alarm.
Now, the complaints and most common adverse effects are:
Addicting .- It is no secret to know that once you give continuity to the consumption of coffee is hard to quit, especially since stop eating can cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, among other .
Weight gain .- caffeine stimulates the production of stress hormones (cortisol), alters levels of serotonin (the hormone that controls appetite) thus causing a greater appetite, especially foods high in calories.
Heartburn causes the secretion of stomach acid causing indigestion problems and inflammation.
Dehydration - While caffeine stimulates the urine, just as the body leads to dehydration, especially when consumption is to regulate.
Cardiovascular problems as well as the caffeine stimulates the nervous system, such stimulation may be reaching the point where it affects him, causing cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, clustering of blood, among other things.
Osteoporosis .- due to acidity levels of coffee, this causes the alkaline minerals such as calcium have to leave the bone to neutralize the acid, causing problems eventually osteoporosis.
Sleep disturbance.- when stimulating the nervous system, the production of stress hormones and cause dehydration, sleep is disturbed at the time of decreasing the production of melatonin (sleep hormone), theta waves and delta sleep, among other things.
Similarly, other symptoms or problems related to coffee consumption to be:
Infertility, anxiety, lack of vitamins and minerals, insomnia, constipation, abortion, birth defects, depression, chronic fatigue, and more.
This is commonly referred about coffee consumption. Now look what you probably do not know.
Much more than a vicious circle
For those who have succeeded in realizing, coffee consumption is creating a vicious circle because it is addictive to the point we are not consuming the tired and we could not get that boost of energy it produces. But this is not the worst of it. In case you do not know, the regular consumption and / or heavy coffee following occurs:
Stress and exhaustion of the adrenal glands .- Regular consumption of coffee causes the adrenal glands to atrophy, which are responsible for activating what is known as fight or flight response. This also means that the body's energy levels are slashed to the point of having chronic fatigue, according to a stimulating day by day to perform even minimal activity. When adrenal glands become fatigued our messaging system which is the hormonal system is disrupted and there are messages that are not fully read or fail outright, it causes even more stress and becomes a vicious circle which leads more cortisol productions and more stress hormones.
Estrogen Dominance .- When the adrenals are depleted, the body goes in search of a hormone replacement, and this turns out to be progesterone. One of the main functions of progesterone is to maintain the proper balance of estrogen. To be used to offset the lack of hormones secreted by the adrenal, we run the risk of a scenario called estrogen dominance. In my experience (Hugo Rubin), over 80% of women are just a domain of estrogen, which is highly injurious to health, causing osteoporosis, among many other things. (More on this in the article "estrogen dominance")
Malnutrition .- Coffee interferes with the body's ability to use folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12, the latter recognized as the energy vitamin. The body needs these 3 nutrients specifically in order to maintain, among other things, levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) in a stable range.
Bowel problems .- Caffeine interferes with the absorption of magnesium, which is critical for maintaining regular bowel movements and to achieve healthy bowel movements. Interestingly one of the largest mineral deficiencies worldwide are in magnesium. In turn, stimulates coffee on the digestive system causing a temporary laxative effect, causing the bowels to expel waste before having the opportunity to have been processed and used.
Infarction .- elevated homocysteine levels cause a large number of health problems, among which stand out heart attacks.
Chronic Alteration .- Caffeine prevents adenosine from “telling” the brain it’s time to relax, staying in a state of alteration / alertness. Perhaps you are a person who always altered? What a way to live, do you not think?
Did you know ...
Over 70% of the world's coffee is heavily contaminated with pesticides and toxic chemicals. It is estimated that a single cup of coffee contains thousands of chemicals, many of whom fall gastrointestinal irritants and carcinogens. In addition, the high temperatures used for roasting coffee beans cause the natural oils to become rancid, thus generating free radicals and contribute even more to the list of toxic chemicals.
Regular vs. Decaf
So what is best decaffeinated coffee?
Not necessarily. First of all, remember that always, always try to purchase and consume whole foods, that is, complete, not that they have implemented some form of adulteration. This simple fact makes us see a decaffeinated coffee has also lost other parts of its content, its essence.
On the other hand, for decaffeinated coffee beans, most companies (if not all) use of toxic chemicals such as methylene chloride (also called dichloromethane). This only further contaminate the coffee. It is known that methylene chloride causes nausea, dizziness, circulatory problems and numbness or tingling in the limbs, among other things.
In addition, for a decaffeinated coffee can be considered to be occupied at least 97% caffeine free. Caffeine is never entirely eliminated.
Antioxidants
While mentioning that although the coffee does not contain any nutrients at all, it contains antioxidants. For many people this may be the excuse needed to consume coffee. However, the antioxidant-rich coffee comes from the first infusion, when the water passes through the grains. In a pot of coffee the first or the first 2 cups of coffee contain the benefits, the rest of them are very acidic. On the other hand, the coffee is not a rich source of antioxidants, just because it has antioxidants it does not mean its a good source of them. All products of nature that exist on this planet contain antioxidants that are necessary for cellular respiration cycles, absolutely all of them, and that does not mean that all are good sources of antioxidants.
Ultimate Observations.- Some civilizations have been drinking coffee throughout the story without getting many or no side effects, and therefore the consumption of coffee is in doubt as regards health. However, these civilizations have been able to bring out features that are known today and are recommended to avoid developing health problems related to coffee consumption, such as adequate hydration, eating foods rich in nutrients, adequate sleep time, etc. Besides drinking coffee about 2 to 3 times per week.
Therefore, if you want coffee drinking, try to definitely be organic, preferably whole (regular) or else a decaffeinated which has used the Swiss water process, which does not use toxic chemicals and removes about 99.9% caffeine, preferably no more than 3 times per week, much less than 1 cup per day.
Try to consume a good multivitamin / mineral supplement excipiente and tagalong free, exercise, drink water from fresh juices and coconut water.
Each time you take a cup of coffee I suggest you take 5 cups of water, coffee is very, very dehydrating and helps your body acidifiy and promotes demineralization when the body tries to balance out the acidity. It also stains your teeth and get alters your nervous system.
If you are a person with a high intake of coffee and wants to quit, do not do so abruptly, otherwise you may feel bad , because you will start a detox process once you stop, you will definitley feel “withdrawal symptons” and this require much patience and tolerance from you. Start by changing the organic coffee quality and reducing the amount. And so gradually, with the help of nutrients and proper hydration can stop drinking coffee without many adverse effects. Try to alternate with tea and little by little you will start liking tea as your body will feel more hydrated.
GOOD USE OF AN ORGANIC CAFE:
Put 2 quarts water to boil, releasing the boil add 3-4 tablespoons of freshly ground organic coffee, reduce the heat and allows you to simmer about 1 hour, once concentrated coffee to add to liciadora 3 cloves garlic, peeled and blend well. Strain through a sieve all very fine and wait for this warm, you are ready to be used as an enema. The coffee enema is used as a stimulant of gallbladder and liver and promotes detoxification and cleansing.

You probably will be surprised, but coffee is not a food, it does not comply with the necessary characteristics to be considered as such. Coffee has no nutritional value, ie has no calories, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc., only antioxidants. It also contains the substance known as caffeine, which turns out to be psychoactive and can alter brain function generating changes in mood and behavior.
If we could sit down and try to think deeply about why we consume coffee, basically we come to the conclusion that we do by tradition, because our parents, grandparents, great grandparents and our ancestral chain did so.
This type of behavior is the same as a child makes when trying to imitate their parents or any adult does with a sense of belonging to the environment, be part of society.
The coffee in our Western world is associated with:
Relaxation, Coexistence, Conversation, is a kind of reward and desired meeting time. Even now there are places that revolve around coffee and deeply exploit all what we asóciate or relates to coffee to "fall" in the spell and enjoy the illusion of coffee. Like everything in our World, we can makes ourselves aware to decelop consciousness in our livie and in our choices. The act of becoming aware of our own associations and falls into coffee is an act that betters our health.
But does this kind of behavior leads to physical gain? Probably we have an emotional gain when we mantain a habit created by our loved ones, but is this wellness for our bodies?
On the other hand, you've probably never managed to get a clear idea about what is coffee consumption. Whatever it is, I think you need to know the following information so that you can finally have tools to help you make the best decision.
Coffee
First things first. Before you can proceed, it is necessary to make an important clarification. In this paper we discuss the properties, benefits, cons, consequences and perspectives on the coffee, ie coffee beans themselves, not the common drink of the day which includes more than just the extract of grains, but sugar, cream, milk, sweeteners and artificial flavors, aromas and / or conservatives, most of all ingredients that make you look at coffee as a dessert. This no doubt is quite another story and deserves a unique place.
Benefits of Coffee
Over the years we have heard and know through studies that coffee consumption leads us to obtain a number of benefits. But curiously studies contradict each other. In a week we hear of a study that found achievement benefits of coffee on the heart, but the next week we hear of another study that tells us how coffee consumption impairs the heart. It is difficult to reason and make the best decision when we are faced with this dichotomy. However, I believe that if we analyze the good and bad coffee can have a more conscious perspective.
Among the outstanding benefits we can talk about:
Antioxidants .- Rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, protecting the body, preventing hypertension and premature aging.
The highest concentration of antioxidants are found in dark green vegetables, citrus fruits, raw chocolate , vegetable juices, sea water seaweed, and sweet water sea weed such as chlorella and spirulina etc ...
Weight loss .- help you lose weight by increasing metabolism. A cup of coffee in the morning can help give you energy and perform better with an exercise routine. This energy is false, is not energy produced by the cell’s mitochondria, it is a "rush," it is the result of stimulation and not a real increase in power, the "need" of a cup of coffee in the morning stresses the body because it acidifies, and dehydrates it. Best thing to do when we open our eyes is drink a glass of pure water.
Diuretic The caffeine content helps stimulate the kidneys produce more urine, helping to eliminate toxins from the body. There are diuretics that dehydrate and do not acidify as pineapple juice alfalfa and radish leaves.
Improve Brain Function .- Caffeine helps to improve the way the brain develops throughout the day, especially in data retention, thereby improving working efficiency. For this there is nothing better than taking a vegetable juice and the ratio is 1 fruit and 3 vegetable, not taking a juice with high sugar content. Try it and feel the effect as balancing with natural foods.
Improvement in Breathing. - caffeine dilates and opens the airways, resulting in a benefit for people suffering from respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis.
We really should not use a stimulant to “open” our airways rather than do things that can help our body to do it on its own because we do have that capacity. The secret is to re-connect with oursleves in order to be able to tap into our own “Healing Powers. ” Breathing is vital for life. A diet high in nutrients and high in water, since we are 3 / 4 parts water will facilitate our breath and to integrate into our lives an activity that makes contact with our inner being is what opens the breathing, walking, yoga , swimming, etc. .. but always being with oneself.
Increase alertness .- The caffeine stimulates the nervous system, causing increased alertness. this makes us live as if we were being chased by a tiger, and sure it is not the best way to balance the body. This is the physiological state of stress, always running around and our physiology is always ready to attack and producing all the hormones needed for the fight and flight response , and that fight never arrives but the body wears out and " burns " due to its never ending state of alarm.
Now, the complaints and most common adverse effects are:
Addicting .- It is no secret to know that once you give continuity to the consumption of coffee is hard to quit, especially since stop eating can cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, among other .
Weight gain .- caffeine stimulates the production of stress hormones (cortisol), alters levels of serotonin (the hormone that controls appetite) thus causing a greater appetite, especially foods high in calories.
Heartburn causes the secretion of stomach acid causing indigestion problems and inflammation.
Dehydration - While caffeine stimulates the urine, just as the body leads to dehydration, especially when consumption is to regulate.
Cardiovascular problems as well as the caffeine stimulates the nervous system, such stimulation may be reaching the point where it affects him, causing cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, clustering of blood, among other things.
Osteoporosis .- due to acidity levels of coffee, this causes the alkaline minerals such as calcium have to leave the bone to neutralize the acid, causing problems eventually osteoporosis.
Sleep disturbance.- when stimulating the nervous system, the production of stress hormones and cause dehydration, sleep is disturbed at the time of decreasing the production of melatonin (sleep hormone), theta waves and delta sleep, among other things.
Similarly, other symptoms or problems related to coffee consumption to be:
Infertility, anxiety, lack of vitamins and minerals, insomnia, constipation, abortion, birth defects, depression, chronic fatigue, and more.
This is commonly referred about coffee consumption. Now look what you probably do not know.
Much more than a vicious circle
For those who have succeeded in realizing, coffee consumption is creating a vicious circle because it is addictive to the point we are not consuming the tired and we could not get that boost of energy it produces. But this is not the worst of it. In case you do not know, the regular consumption and / or heavy coffee following occurs:
Stress and exhaustion of the adrenal glands .- Regular consumption of coffee causes the adrenal glands to atrophy, which are responsible for activating what is known as fight or flight response. This also means that the body's energy levels are slashed to the point of having chronic fatigue, according to a stimulating day by day to perform even minimal activity. When adrenal glands become fatigued our messaging system which is the hormonal system is disrupted and there are messages that are not fully read or fail outright, it causes even more stress and becomes a vicious circle which leads more cortisol productions and more stress hormones.
Estrogen Dominance .- When the adrenals are depleted, the body goes in search of a hormone replacement, and this turns out to be progesterone. One of the main functions of progesterone is to maintain the proper balance of estrogen. To be used to offset the lack of hormones secreted by the adrenal, we run the risk of a scenario called estrogen dominance. In my experience (Hugo Rubin), over 80% of women are just a domain of estrogen, which is highly injurious to health, causing osteoporosis, among many other things. (More on this in the article "estrogen dominance")
Malnutrition .- Coffee interferes with the body's ability to use folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12, the latter recognized as the energy vitamin. The body needs these 3 nutrients specifically in order to maintain, among other things, levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) in a stable range.

Interestingly one of the largest mineral deficiencies worldwide are in magnesium. In turn, stimulates coffee on the digestive system causing a temporary laxative effect, causing the bowels to expel waste before having the opportunity to have been processed and used.
Infarction .- elevated homocysteine levels cause a large number of health problems, among which stand out heart attacks.
Chronic Alteration .- Caffeine prevents adenosine from “telling” the brain it’s time to relax, staying in a state of alteration / alertness. Perhaps you are a person who always altered? What a way to live, do you not think?
