Safe Foods


 If you have any suggestions about improving  this blog

(INCOMPLETE)

Safe foods is a post that's  all about the foods that you are allowed to eat with other diets that are suppose to reduce your odor. Many of us do not know what's wrong with us, some believe that they might have some type of candida infection, while others might believe that they might have TMAU. But most of us don't know what's wrong with us so we try different diets to see  which one will eliminate their odor. This is why I made up the safe foods post, so you can  be able eat within the  guidelines of  multiple diets, therefore,  have a better chance at reducing your odor whether it was the cause of candida, TMAU, bacteria overgrowth, or some type of food  malabsorption.

Body Odor Diets 3

(Complete)
This post includes the Alkaline and SIBO Diet.

 If you have any suggestions about improving  this blog

Body Odor Diet
Alkaline Diet
SIBO Diet




Alkaline Diet: The alkaline diet is mainly based on switching your pH( potential of Hydrogen) balance from acidic to alkaline. Most of our bodies are acidic due to unhealthy foods we eat everyday. This is especially true if your on the SAD  (Standard American Diet) which consists of eating copious amounts of meat, dairy, refined foods, and sweets(refined sugar). Anyways, it has been said that everything we eat has either an acidic or alkaline solution, when we tend to eat too much of acid-forming foods we cause an imbalance in our systems. The excessive acid  lowers our pH level  and cause a bad environment  in our bodies that will produce bad bacteria, viruses, or degenerative diseases. The point of the alkaline diet is to switch your body from an acidic state to a balanced one ; the ratio of alkaline foods to acid foods should be 80:20,
(80% alkaline forming foods and 20 % acid forming foods).Though having an acidic body is bad for you, eating acidic foods is not actually bad, only if the majority of your diet consists of acidic food is when it is considered a problem.

Note: There are foods that have a higher or lower level of alkalinity and acidity. For a more detailed version  of  a alkaline food table and additional information click on these links:
http://www.trans4mind.com/nutrition/pH.html
http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/acid_alkaline_foods_list.html


Note: The highlighted colors on the foods will depend on their order in alkalinity. 
In addition, some foods have two different alkaline levels next to them, the reason for that is the fact that some  alkaline tables have them considered high while other tables considered them  to be low, also  some other foods are not even labeled because I couldn't find the alkaline level for them.

 FYI:  foods that have a slightly alkaline and slightly acidic component to it like olives are always considered neutral.This means that it will not increase or decrease in any acidity or alkalinity in your body.








SIBO Diet: The SIBO(Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth ) diet is for people who have similar symptoms to those who have IBS ( constant gas, bloating, diarrhea, etc.). The premise of this diet is to reduce the amount of bacteria in the intestines by cutting out foods that will ferment in your intestines, thus diminishing the bacteria and it's symptoms. And to establish a diet of easily digestible foods so the bacteria in the intestines will not have time to grow when the foods are being digested. This diet prohibits eating high-fiber foods because it will develop a productivity in bacterial growth, and it also restricts the consumption of sugars because it will cause fermentation of bacteria as well. There's not really a list of what you can or cannot eat on a SIBO diet, there only guidelines about what you should or shouldn't do. With that knowledge, I'm going to try and make a list of what should eat and what you should avoid.

For more information on SIBO click on these links
http://www.livestrong.com/article/318789-the-sibo-diet/
http://www.gidoctor.net/diet-ibs-sibo.php

Guidelines for SIBO:
^Avoid sweeteners and reduce your sugar intake to about 40g a day
^ Avoid or limit intake of dairy products
^Avoid high-fiber foods 
^Avoid foods that leave a lot of residue or undigestable substances (ex. peas, beans, lentils)
^Drink about 8 glasses of water daily
^Limit the consumption of sweet fruits 
^Consume a lot of anti-bacterial foods and herbs to kill off the bacteria
^Eat  easily digestible foods to prevent fermentation
^It's preferred to eat cooked vegetables rather than raw because it leaves less residue, which means it is more easier to digest
^Eat vegetables that are low in starch
^Eat foods that are low in carbohydrates
^ The  FODMAP diet  is another choice to try if you have SIBO
