Memory of discussion with my father

Posted by Belthagor - 1 month ago


I thought I would re-write this since I have deleted the post yesterday.


When I was young me and my father made alkaline water. This is nothing new and it has existed since hundreds of years ago. Yet I thought of something during that time.


He explained to me how our digestive system works and I asked if lemon juice is similar because it's an acid if we could use it to study our anatomy by putting it in fluids and foods in a sealed bottle or dish.


We would wait for a few days. As an acid digests something or lemon juice in water eats the water metaphorically speaking -the acid in it is gone after a while. The combination of both things turns water into something else.


We left a bottle of water in the fridge with lemon juice in it, sealed and waited a few days for the lemon to do its work.


When we took the bottle of water out of the fridge he and I drank some. Surprisingly it was alkaline water.


I'd imagine when our bodies digest food it becomes alkaline as well. A part of it is waste and another part which is also a base goes somewhere and gets turned into new stomach acid.


We got into a discussion on studying food through observing nature around us. What do different animals eat. Are we able to analyze the chemical composition of its food and find something similar that we eat. Maybe it gives us better reflexes or makes us stronger.


What if we could use similar things that are found in our body to study what it does to the food we eat and the fluids that we drink.


"What would happen if we left coffee in a sealed bottle with lemon juice in it and waited a few days. What if we left alcohol with lemon juice in it so as the acid does its job we can send the fluid (or food) to a lab for analysis and understand what its doing to our bodies."


As I've studied in physics.. acidic foods are best for our bodies. I find it strange because they become base in the body. I don't really think a base could become acidic in the stomach.


A few days passed. We tried the same thing with bottled water and a lot more lemon juice and waited one week. The water was even more alkaline than before.


I don't have much knowledge in the medical field. I don't think I would become a good nutritionist either. I used my creativity as a child while learning about the world through my father; my teacher about life.


He had a difficult life yet sometimes he tried to do the best for me.


At one point we had a conversation. "Sometimes when we speak we don't accomplish much and yet sometimes when we have a discussion you never cease to amaze me."


Lemon juice is not the same ph as stomach acid. It could barely be called similar to stomach acid in fact yet it may helps us a little to study the composition of our bodies.


The last thing I told him before he told me this is "Here's how I think. We have a balanced diet like you said dad. Yet animals don't. If they're repeatedly eating the same exact food throughout every season or nearly every season we can see what that food does to our bodies by studying theirs because they only ate that the whole time."


I feel that even though I was young because he had not hit me yet this may be one of my greatest accomplishments.


If you want to make great things in the world you should ask a young person what they think.


Post scriptum: The last thing I can say is that while we were speaking I learned that a lot of fruid is acidic. My belly is a bit bloated. I had lost weight in high school but I never managed to tighten my ab muscles. Yet even people with weak abs sometimes have a good physique. And they're eating a lot. They mostly eat fruit which doesn't fill you up yet turns into a base in the stomach and they have no bloating.


Post post scriptum: The last thing I told him which would be my reasoning for this is that acidic fruit through becoming a base makes more stomach acid as it goes in another organ and that keeps you regular while giving you energy and boosting your metabolism.


I recently ate kumquats. They're a minature orange with an edible peel. Even though it only lasted half an hour I felt like I had more energy through the large amount of vitamin c and if a person pairs it with protein they would become physically stronger if they move their body a lot.
