For the last few nights I have been eating Kiwi fruit as a snack after dinner. I read some information on Fruit and Vegetable Servings that 2 Kiwi fruit is one fruit serving.So last night I had 2 Kiwi fruit. I already ate my 2 servings of vegetables. Well, my throat starting hurting last night and I woke up this morning with the rash starting to come back around my mouth. Kiwi is highly acidic which may be the reason for my negative response. Even though many fruits are highly acidic, they still have an alkalizing affect on the body. All fruit has a higher alkalizing affect on the body when they are more ripe but before they spoil, according to Livestrong. So for now I will slow down on the Kiwi until my mouth heals and my throat feels better. Since I've added fruit to my diet, its hard to limit it. I have to force myself to get the 2 servings of vegetables in for every 1 serving of fruit. I had edamame and yellow squash yesterday. That was tasty. I'm sick of the cauliflower and broccoli, along with the frittata I made a couple of days ago. I found a sauteed cauliflower with tumeric recipe I will try soon.
Blessings until next time!

My Ph Balance is Acidic
I have been taking ph balance tests. I am extremely acidic. I have also taken an iodine test and am very low on iodine. I listened to an online seminar once about ph balance. The woman who led it talked about how the first thing she does with any of her clients was test their ph balance. With many health problems, the root starts with the ph balance being off. I found it very interesting and will find my papers on that at some point and share the information. The iodine is linked to that as well. So I am going to share a list of products I take to get back on the healthy track. I am also extremely low on calcium, zinc, oleic acid, magnesium and B vitamins.
Calcium-Magnesium
Nutri-Calm (B vitamins with other calming herbs)
Dulse Liquid (iodine)
Nature's Prenatal
Bowel Detox
Yeast Fungal Detox
Garlic (anti-fungal)
Lysine (strengthens immune system and helps absorb calcium)
Zinc
Vitamin E
Bifidophilus (Probiotics-healthy bacteria)
Vitamin D3
And I try to drink plenty of water! The absence of these nutrients and the excess of Candida have caused heart arrhythmias, anxiety and panic attacks in me. These are some symptoms of excess Candida, which I believe I got from too much sugar in my diet and swimming in a chlorinated pool.
All of the products listed above I got from Sunshine Herb Shop, my Nature's Sunshine website.
