Quotes of the Day

Preservation methods in prepackaged, jarred, processed, and canned foods require the use of chemicals that are inherently acidic or have properties that loosen the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). I allow three exceptions in the Acid Watcher Diet: canned tuna, chickpeas, and beans. Canned tuna must be water packed and drained before using. Canned chickpeas and beans must be organic and thoroughly washed to eliminate traces of acidified liquids. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Eating kiwifruit has prebiotic effects that shape beneficial gut bacteria and lower inflammation. [2019] - William W Li

Goals have to be clear, simple, and in writing. If they are not in writing and reviewed daily, they are not really goals. They are wishes. [2000] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Animal-derived proteins that are good for Acid Watchers include sardines, salmon, tuna, halibut, turkey (light meat, no skin), chicken (light meat, no skin), yogurt, kefir, and eggs. Examples of vegetable-derived proteins include peanuts, oatmeal, cashews, beans (all types), tofu, edamame, walnuts, soy milk (non–genetically modified), hazelnuts, whole grains, quinoa, broccoli, spinach, kale, and spirulina. Beans and eggs, especially egg yolks, can be hard for some people to digest. I recommend that they be consumed in moderation. For best results, animal sources of protein should primarily be eaten in combination with vegetables, ideally prepared raw or steamed, for easier digestion. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Letting go of happiness as a goal can pave the way for happiness to appear on its own. [2007] - Mark Williams
