About Alkabuddy

Whether you are trying to loose weight or just maintain a healthy life-style, an in-depth look at the contents of the food you're eating is vital (literally).

What if there was a way for you to rate how "healthy" the food you are about to consume by giving it a single + or - number?

PRAL doesn't do that explicitly (nor will any number, including calories or macros) but it comes quite close to rating how "healthy" the food is. It's one missing piece of information that can help you decide on what to eat next or what food to combine to maintain a healthy body.

Food that is high in PRAL (or Potential Renal Acid Load) is food that will force your body to work harder to digest it (not in a good way, you're not actually burning more calories). This puts more load on your kidneys and forces your body to break down more calcium from your bones to digest the meals properly as well as consumes all minerals your body needs for other functions only to digest the food.

This is how your body works to maintain an "Alkaline" environment for digestion. In the long-term, the more that your body needs to do this the more it damages it. It's scientifically proven that it's linked to Diabetes, Gout and even Cancer (to a certain degree).

It's more than simply trying to lose weight by eating less calories or even eating what fits your macros to build the right physique.

Challenge yourself to maintain an ideal Alkaline PRAL every day and in every meal (displayed in GREEN and is between -11 and -35 in Alkabuddy) and see how that will eventually make you come up with ways to cut down on junk and add more vegetables to your meals and how that will give you the stamina, the micronutrients and the will to exercise. Yes, your mom was right when she tried hard to force you to eat your veggies!

ماذا لو استطعت أن تصنف الأطعمة بكونها “صحية” أو “غير صحية” برقم واحد محدد؟ ماذا لو استطعت أن تصنف كل وجبة خلال اليوم بنفس التصنيف ونفس الرقم؟

مقياس PRAL لا يستطيع أن يفعل ذلك (ولا السعرات الحرارية ولا البروتينات أو النشويات أو الدهون) ولكن حساب PRAL يعتبر أقرب طريقة لتصنيف الطعام الصحي على أساس مكوناته من أملاح ومعادن وغيرها.

جسمك يحافظ على وسط قاعدي مهما أكلت من طعام. ويفعل ذلك بواسطة عملية معقدة تضع ضغطا كبيرا على الكليتين وتستهلك الكالسيوم من العظام وبعض الأملاح والمعادن من الطعام نفسه. على المدى البعيد، هذه العملية لها آثار سلبية جدا على الجسم منها الأمراض المزمنة مثل السكري وارتفاع ضغط الدم وداء النقرس أو حتى السرطان.

كذلك، يحتاج الجسم هذه المعادن (مثل المغنيسيوم) لتنمية الصحة العامة خارج عملية الهضم. واستهلاكها فقط لعملية الهضم يثبط من العديد من الوظائف.

مقياس PRAL يختلف عن pH كونه (PRAL) يحدد كمية الشغل الذي يبذله الجسم للحفاظ على الوسط القاعدي. حيث أن الطعام “الحامضي” (مثل الليمون) ليس بالضرورة “حامضي التأثير” في الجسم أثناء عملية الهضم. ولكن الحفاظ على وسط قاعدي يتطلب إضافة كميات معينة من الخضراوات والأطعمة الغنية بأنواع محددة من الأملاح والمعادن التي تساهم في الشعور بالشبع وبالتالي الحفاظ على الوزن المثالي.
