Red meats and starches are harmful for our health, they can clog our arteries. Alcohols destroy our livers and can cause liver cancer. Cigarettes are no good for our health either, as they are very acidic and can cause lung cancer. I'm glad i kicked those habits in the bud.

In my teenage years and early 20's, I used to drink and smoke. As I got older and wiser, I found out the bad effects of these through personal experience and knowledge gained. I came to understand even tho it is fun and enjoyable, in time my health will eventually suffer because of the  nicotine and other chemicals which are detrimental to our health.

However with some motivation and will power, it can be controlled or avoided.

Most fruits and vegetables are Alkaline foods. These foods include fruits such as cherries, avocado, lime, lemon, grapes, apple, banana, watermelon and most tropical fruits. Vegetables such as pumpkin, squash, onion, broccoli, carrot, cucumber to name a few are Alkaline forming foods too.
