FOOD FOR LIFE

The foods we choose for you at Santosa are prepared to create an alkaline state within your body. The body's acid-alkaline balance adjusts throughout the day depending on the types of food we eat. Grains and proteins leave an acidic residue when metabolized; fruits and vegetables leave an alkaline residue. Protein and grains are essential for our overall health and well-being, but if you balance their intake with large amounts of fruit and vegetables your body will become balanced, creating clarity and harmony within the body.

Using this as a guideline, we have designed a fantastic menu plan that will impress you like a five star dining experience, and balance your body's alkaline state at the same time. Fresh local ingredients, organic where possible, are utilized to create a memorable gastronomic delight. Local seafoods, produce, whole grains and healthy juices combine to make your meals one of the many highlights of your stay with us.

pH Balancing drinks are an important part of our diet regimen. Water is the most abundant compound in the human body, comprising 70% of the body. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is.  The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived the fluid is. 

If blood pH moves below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the body dies. The body therefore continually strives to balance pH. When this balance is compromised many problems can occur. Minerals are borrowed from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage--a condition that may go undetected for years.
