80/10/10 lifestyle makes you acid or alkaline? #195

[BUCKWHEATPI]

The Book of Genesis says ,

our diet is to be made of 'seed bearing plants' !

'Alkaline' means good health . . .

eat fruit , your body will thank you !

[mschristy1976]

Haha there is a epicmeal time ad on this vid!

[sprookafook]

sorry dumb fuckers but ph doesnt change in blood n your tissue, if your healthy n eat meat or egg or milk or veggies or fruit, your fucking body doesnt simply change its ph. this is totally fucking b.s, processed food isnt food, all natural food is, ph is for processed people, eating a banana and a peice of fish or meat is all the same in moderation, dont listen to this air head twit wellfare mooch who now has sponers for his mis information.

[Thineeyebesingle]

I live in Denmark and fruits here are not as sweet and optimal as say in warmer climtate countries like Thailand and such places. Im only just switching to the 80/10/10 now, so I dont have a lot of experience, but i like your videos :) I wish I lived somewhere where raw food was better and more accessable however I am quite ill, so I am starting from zero and cannot move somewhere better suited for the raw lifestyle...any good advice? :)

[odin422]

yum!

[darkvoid86]

The colouration of the tab was very mottled. However the body of the colour was definitely very dark green, only light on the edges. Most fruit metabolises into becoming alkaline. Saliva is naturally more acidic than your blood also and isn't as accurate as testing urine. From this video and the facts mentioned, you are very alkaline.

[HrapovikPlush]

I have a similar product by pH Ion and the bottle looks almost exactly the same. The directions state that you need to compare the strip immediately to the chart after exposing the strip to saliva/urine. Are you sure you are doing it right? What do directions on your bottle say? Because mine says that the strip darkens over time so the correct results can only be obtained if you match it immediately.

[Tiimeless]

Can u test the urine instead. I have an alkaline mouth via test and i am still eating me for now. I would be grateful.

[Tiimeless]

Can you do this test with your urine please. I would believe the urine better. I do the test and my mouth is ph balanced, and I am still working to get off meat. I would be very grateful.

mango'stache

[MichaeLightify]

@RomneyPHONY - I avoid 'factory' farmed fruit also... but there are heirloom type hybrids that become seedless... I see it as a natural manifestation, meaning the (seedless) potential is in the dna... especially when there is an abundance of seeded fruit trees, having some seedless fruit tree varieties is fine , I dont think there is anything inherently negative about them, just more fruit flesh !

[1Reg0]

where can i get information on the calories in vegetables and fruits? i want to count my calorie intake but i don't know where to get the information from

[MichaeLightify]

@1Reg0 hey, fitday (dot) com is free, I find it sufficient to get a general idea of not only calories but vitamin and mineral content also

[misseptember]

dude your hairs epic



[zigzigerblat]

Harley, how do I know when I am ready to become a member of 30bad? I don't remember being turned down but I never was able to log on. I have only been vegan since sept of 2010 and I am only 60-70% raw.

I like the forums on your site.

[FoxAmongWolves]

Fruit does have an alkalining effect on the body- but to be fair you aren't supposed to test your spit immediately after eating

[Gary1111001]

@FoxAmongWolves Yes, you wait 30 minutes for the food to clear so your testing the actual saliva level. He's actually testing the mango, which is an even better testament. Mango is 7.0.

He should rub the strips directly on fruits, and test many different kinds.

[RAWRAWdinosaur]

enough said.....  too true

[MichaeLightify]

@RomneyPHONY thank you :)

Intuitively it seems to make sense, if a fruit does not have any seeds, then it is impotent... maybe on an energetic or symbolical level... but does it really have no nutrition, or anti-nutrition? I dont think seedless fruit is harmful... I view hybridization as a positive... have you had a seedless persimmon? it makes eating a lot easier and there is way more flesh in the fruit... so I feel evolutionary, there is a place for seedless fruit, it has function...

[Danodfyful]

Nice man! Easy Jane Simple Plain!

[yogashot]

Did you see liferegenerators new bike video he looks dehydrated . What do you think? More fruit? (;

[TheKala321]

I know you made a video once about sugar spikes and I cant remember what you said about it, but my personal experience is eating a lot of say bananas has its inevitable consequence of spiking and then.. coming down

[zigzigerblat]

@TheKala321 I agree with your comment but I think that physical activity level controls that effect. The more my body is hurting and burning when I eat, the less sugar rush I feel.

My activity level is no where near Harley's so my meals have more veggies and greens than his.

[Mekelsior]

@TheKala321 Drink more water, 1 liter before consuming 10 ripe bananas. =) I do that and I`m a newbie and I have no sugar spikes whatsoever. =)

[durianriders]

@TheKala321 Get of the grease and get more early nights. If fruit makes you feel 'ill' your already fucked and need to step up and get fit and healthy. Its like a smoker complaining about fresh air...

[cattyerde]

@durianriders I had the same prob the first time I tried 801010 the spikes scared me off - also if you are a reformed carnivore it makes you crave like crazy - basically I suspect its to do with most peeps who aren't very fit having a gubbed pancreas - whilst still not fit I am a lot fitter this time and have not had the same problem at all (and my swimming in particular has almost doubled so far in a couple of weeks)

[stedyplotn]

Respond to this video... Thumbs up if u were distracted by that bgr

[lovelovinghorses]

@stedyplotn Hi I think you will find it's a bit of mango!

[CharlesTRose]

urine and saliva Ph is NO INDICATION whatsoever on blood Ph...just saying

[Mekelsior]

@CharlesTRose According to Dr Young, mr Ph himself, he was testing his saliva to demonstrate that he was alkaline. =)

[HybridD91]

@Mekelsior He can't be alkaline if it measured around a 7, which is neutral.

[xbloopy]

I like you a lot. You're just always telling it like it is without the incentive of money or whatever. It's fantastic.

[LizYArtur]

Aha... your videos always make me laugh, Harley!! Another great one!!

[artali1]

Harley, could you please make a video about you and crhons disease?

[niveaskin1]

You still eating dates?

[madderthanalex]

Harley. Start some fruit farms in the Adelaide Hills- Plastic Igloo's/Hot-House's,

lots of them. Get people together interested in the same to use & sell at affordable

price.

[madderthanalex]

Is that house in Bridgewater? Looks like a place I was going to buy 11 years ago,

that had a walk track at the bottom of the gully/hill. Very small bathroom/shower.

Whats the diff. between ph test of urine & mouth/saliva?

[thomasdaleboyd]

Ya got a Bat in the cave, bud.

[ThePreppyHippie]

Its like Myth Busters for 811ers. love it!

[StopmeatGoveg]

@ThePreppyHippie lol and he debunks them all! btw ur username is a bit of a paradox, no? or do you wear tie-dye sweatervests? lol.

[ThePreppyHippie]

@StopmeatGoveg Ha ha! I may have to give that a try. I just probably have the most "hippie" values of my friends, i.e., the vegan thing, I recycle, love the beatles, like natural living, but I also like a sweater vest, stockings, plaid and argyle, and am just really clean cut. People always think I am a right wing republican before they get to know me! :p

[StopmeatGoveg]

@ThePreppyHippie lol yea i'm kind of the same way. i love football so i wear jerseys all the time with athletic shorts and tennis shoes. people think i'm a jock, but as the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving.

[alovelylittledeer]

This is great, so many raw fooders are scared of fruit and tell people to limit it as it is acidic, which it is not, so how do these raw fooders get the cals they need if not from fruit? Nuts, avos etc, fat is acidic, no??

Really annoys me so much terrible advice out there for raw vegans.

[mikecazzx]

Seems to prove your point well. I thought you had to measure a mix of of 24 hours of urine though? Perhaps this tongue test is one I am unaware of.

[Spinfuze]

I don't know how accurate this test is, but all it takes is a little online research to find out that the "ash" end product of most fruit and veg is alkaline which is what determines "alkalinity in the body"

[speedbmp]

Mango mouth! I have NO idea what that's like. NONE. ::innocently whistles::

[ThunderPreacher]

I only take a thorough debunking from the Myth Busters and not from you. :p

[Ayame471989]

I heard that this neutral/ more alkaline pH is also good for your B12-levels. Because if your digestive tract isn't to acid (as it would be if you ate meat which can't be digested otherwise). Then the bacteria who produce B12 can survive - not only in your colon, where it's too late to be absorbed by the body, but already previously to it.

[ILoveValenciaOranges]

When i was on a standard diet i'd take acid reflux pills nearly every day even though my diet wasn't too bad. since i've been high raw and eating lots of oranges, grapefruit and pineapples i've had no problems - except when i tried making gourmet recipes so i like to keep it simple now!

[MichaeLightify]

fruit IS the most optimum PROVIDED that it is not picked unripe, grown with pesticides/dipped in chemicals or heat-treated, or extremely extremely expensive... if ur fruit is fresh, organic AND cheap, and you have an abundant variety to choose from, THEN fruit is ideal... but if u do not have those conditions then fruit MAY NOT be the ideal food source... you may have to look into a Hippocrates-Clement or McDougall type of diet

[polski1986]

awesome planting methods!

[andriusj7]

Regarding lemon and other citrus fruits, although they taste acidic, what ive read thay are actually the most alkaline substances, as they they are digested in the alkaline environment.

[andriusj7]

I also noticed that eating high fruit diet makes your urine alkaline. However, what ive read that these strips that Harley used and most other do not actually measure H+ (hydrogen iones, which are the main contributor to acidity).TO prove this buy orioer medical urine tst strips and you get ph lower. Hence the ph measured using simple strips could be inacurate. In fact Ive hear that those test strips only measure minerals. Nevertheless, I dont think fruits makes your body acidic.

[angelbe88]

i always enjoy your videos Harley. Thanks for showing us about the ph. I read a book a while ago, called, "the ph miracle," and the author did talk about fruits being acidic. It really shocked me to read that as pretty much every other information I've come across has always said fruit are alkaline, especially lemons. 

[exquisite6]

His hair is gorgeous you're just jealous

[exquisite6]

WOW that place you are living in looks super cool

[bigamejames1]

speaking of Goldilocks..........what's up with your locks atm?

[mara3o]

Love it! :)

[fredhassen]

Er uh......yeah but......  :-)
