Understanding the relationship of temperature to blood pH is key to understanding the basic tenants of the Hauser Diet. Knowing whether you feel better in hot or cold weather can give tremendous clues into what diet is best for you.

The effect of temperature on blood pH levels is typically that the higher the temperature, the higher the blood pH. Therefore, typically people with higher blood pH levels require more carbohydrates in their diets (Monkeys and Giraffes). Likewise, the colder the temperature, the lower the blood pH, requiring more protein and fat in the diet (Lion or Otter Diets).

This map of the US takes the averages high and low temperatures for each of the 50 states. The Hauser Diet theorizes that the higher the average temperature for the state, the higher the average blood pH level would be, consequently, the higher the amount of Monkeys and Giraffes in that state. Conversely, the lower the temperatures, the lower the average blood pH level would be, therefore, the more Otters and Lions in that state.

Obviously variations occur, and each person is treated as an individual when receiving actual Diet Typing testing. A person’s overall medical condition also plays a role, as do other factors. However, you can never underestimate the effect of temperature on blood pH!
