In kenya it is amazing that lemon is the cheapest among the citrus fruits.
With 10 Bob you can get a big lemon fruit and with 5 Bob you can get a medium sized lemon in the open market.

Friends and acquaintance always ask me

@young are you a vegetarian ?

My answer is know. I am only an advocate of healthy living to ward of degenerative diseases.

The fact is most food based on plants are healthier than animal based foods.

In that case I have a personal drive to consume at least 80% of plant based foods.
So I do not avoid animal based fruit entirely. I take them seldomly and in very small amount .

ONCE AGAIN IS LEMON JUICE ACIDIC OR AKLALINE ?

Lemon juice in its natural state is ACIDIC with a pH of about 2, but once metabolized it actually becomes ALKALINE with a pH of 7.45.
So outside the body anyone can see that lemon juice is very acidic with a sour taste.
However once fully digested , its effect is proven yo be ALKALIZING with many health benefits.
The safeguard that to consume lemon juice,
- Squeeze a medium size lemon juice
- Dilute it with at least three quarters of warm water. This is to protect your teeth

Ideal time of taking lemon juice is
- First thing in the morning, 30 minutes before breakfast

- Last thing in the night at least 30 minutes before bed time.

By diluting lemon juice with water (ph of 7.0) before consumption you have invariably alter the pH of the diluted lemon juice from 2 to 4 which is better than the pH of soda drinks (2.5 - 3)

My power pack combination of superfoods:

- Lemon and limes (I prefer limes due to their "less sharp" taste)
- Ginger
- Tumeric
- Cinnamon powder although finding the authentic one is difficult, what most supermarkets have is Cassia, not real cinnamon
- Pomegranates
- Beet root
- Sweet potatoes
- Prunes - yes prunes - I read somewhere that prunes have one of the highest antioxidant properties of any food out there.
-Water, water and more water. Easy way to know if you are not getting enough water- whether your pee is clear or coloured.
-Real spinach. Not Swiss chard.
-Traditional veggies

Things I completely avoid to the best of my ability;
- Bread of any sort
- Pombe which by now, every soul should know is complete poison with almost zero benefit.
- Fast food. FRIES especially. Probably the worst food out there, bread inclusive.

Then most important is kupiga tizi. Resistance training especially. I see lots of middle class running like wild animals all over the place sweating for hours. 1 hr every other day of resistance training (weights) will do three times the work for a fraction of the time and with better results.

Warm lemon juice can be combined with other foods like pure honey or tumeic.
It depends on individual choice.

God willing I will devote next year ie 2019 to cancer.

My emphasis as usual is the cheaper option which is prevention rather than curative .
Cancer is mainly either hereditary or life style non communicable disease .

The good news is that with life style changes you can eliminate or minimize hereditary risk.

Exercise does not necessary mean gym. Brisk working , jogging , cycling and swimming are cheap alternatives .
