...guacamole and soups - gazpacho and an unctuous white cream of almonds and garlic. The menu is vegan, barring the odd egg, and the diet is supposed to make our bodies less acidic (bones leach calcium and other minerals if the body strays too far from its naturally alkaline pH of 7.4, says Jeans). It also tames blood-sugar swings. I'm never hungry, despite petite portions and epic helpings of exercise. On our final morning, out come the scales and most retreaters prove to be shadows of their former selves. Our friend is the biggest loser - 4.5 kg lighter...
...acid. Bicarb soda is an alkali. So when you spill red wine on the carpet, you mop up as much as you can, then sprinkle on bicarb soda. The alkali negates the acid. You'll see straight away the stain change from red to pale gray as the pH swaps over and the pigment starts to break down and the wine loses its staining ability." Lush hopes the book will help others see cleaning crises the way she does: as puzzles. "It's basic chemistry," she says. "The building blocks of everything around you are pretty simple. You just need...
First discovered by Clapham’s lab in 2001, the CatSper protein is activated by the higher pH environment of the female cervix. Activated CatSper allow calcium ions to flow into the sperm’s tail. The calcium influx, measurable as an electrical current, alters the way the flagella bends and hyper-activates the tail’s motor proteins. In experiments, mice altered to lack the CatSper protein had weak swimming sperm and were infertile...
