IS YOUR BODY TOO ACIDIC?
If your body is too acidic? Ideally we want our body to be slightly alkaline as an acidic body is prone to unhealthy organisms that can damage our organs and our immune system & may lead to allergies, asthma, congestion, fatigue, headaches, inflammation, joint & muscle pain, skin problems, weight gain and over the long term cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.
Excess acidity is caused by eating processed foods, dairy products, too much animal protein, & processed grains such as corn and wheat.
Normally the kidneys maintain our acid/Alkaline balance by adjusting the electrolyte levels in the body. The electrolytes are calcium, magnesium, potassium & sodium, The best source of these electrolytes are raw fruits and vegetables. Cooking depletes these from our food.
CHLOROPYLL is available in liquid form and is an ideal way to alkalise or mineralise the body.
Generally 5-15mls is taken daily straight or diluted in water or juice.
It acts as a natural internal deodoriser and a powerful alkalising and cleansing tonic for the body & blood.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
