This is the beginning of a series of types of threads on food…(requested by a member today ) and definitely in the happiness zone category(: This is not the first request or the first attempt at a bit of this over the years. The difference is…this is the beginning of a series of threads dedicated to a variety of diets, not only vegan.

This thread is focused on: ★Vegan Mood Food [As a Medicinal Remedy]
People who eat strictly vegan foods do not eat any animal products, or foods which come from animals…like dairy. And those who are not vegan or any another classification of vegetarian… will eat many other foods a vegan would obviously never consume. By doing a vegan mood food thread, we leave few people out(:

So..we will start with vegan mood foods, and this will begin a series of healthy food & other wonderful things we can do to enhance our mood/health(:

  And any food and or mood threads/posts which overlap in any form, will be listed here over time.

Alkaline Foods Verses Acidic Foods
An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur.

starting here: warm lemon water

quoted from the site on this link which no longer exists [I will see if it has been relocated]
->Yes Lemons are Alkaline Forming not acidic … This is because their acids, such as citric acid, are weak acid and the Lemon’s overall nutrients are alkaline. The End Product of Metabolism, otherwise known as Ash and it’s effects on the body make it Alkalizing.

Citric Acid is a “weak” acid, meaning once it’s done it’s job in providing energy in metabolism it’s eliminated easily via sweat and respiration. It is alkaline forming in that it stimulates the formation of calcium carbonate in the body. Calcium carbonate then neutralizes the “Strong” acids in the body, acids that can only be gotten rid of through urination, including uric acid which is the end result of protein metabolism.

In fruits such as the Lemons… the mineral content is also taken into consideration, and the Lemon’s Alkaline minerals are many, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and Selenium so after the citric acid has done its job and is easily eliminated, one is left with a very Alkaline Ash (end product) from the fruit.

In a Similar way, Malic Acid (another “weak” acid) attacks Lactic Acids (A “strong” acid) making foods like Apples and it’s unprocessed vinegar also an alkalizing source.

The list goes on… It’s how the elements of the food, inclusive of its “acids” are utilized by the body and whether it’s a weak acid or a strong acid in how it can be eliminated, and the food’s nutrient content such as it’s vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, etc. that a food’s ash ends up being.

Proteins… they are acidic, not only in their amino acid content, but also in it’s utilization by the body… it leaves Uric Acids as it’s waste product from its metabolism. And we need Citric acid to help our bodies eliminate this Acidic end product (Ash).

I think this is an awesome thread!

There is so much to learn, and improve energy and health!
I’m looking forward to sharing!

Thank you for this thread!!!

I hope we have other members who follow the vegan way of life who can share .At the moment I am adjusting to being out at uni 2 days a week and working 2 days a week as well as travelling up to 5 hours some days after being at home for many years .

I really want to improve my mental and physical health and know I can through what I put in my body
