> Hence, to prevent acidity, it was essential to consume alkaline food

>
> Dr Palaniappan recommends coconut water, which is alkaline, and
> therefore could be used as a herbal medicine for the prevention of H1N1.

> For example, he said, those who felt feverish and developed a burning
> sensation while attending to a call of nature because of extreme
> acidity, could neutralise it by drinking coconut water, twice a day, for
> three
> days.
>
> He also recommended orange, lemon and pomelo which, despite containing
> citric acid, were very rich in potassium and therefore, would not
> disturb the body's immunity.
>
> According to Dr Palaniappan, excessive physical activity like running
> a marathon should be avoided as it produced acid due to excessive
> metabolic activity.
>
> Similarly, he said, keeping late nights without adequate sleep and
> working without proper rest could also increase the body's acidity which
> in turn, lowered immunity and made the body vulnerable to viral attacks.
