Alkaline Diet Foods For Great Health
By consuming alkaline diet foods and avoiding acidic foods, you can be free of sickness and disease. "Your health depends on an alkaline environment, created by eating foods such as tomatoes, avocados and green vegetables...striking the optimum 80/20 balance and regulating your body's acid/alkaline chemistry through simple changes in diet can result in weight loss, increased stamina and strength,a stronger immune system and a greater sense of well being." Dr Robert O. Young, Scientist and Author of The pH Miracle Much of our sickness is due to our bodies becoming over acidic, pH under 7. Disease flourish when our body is out of balance and full of toxins.
What Cause Us To Get Out Of Balance?
In the past several decades, there has been a rise in consumption of acid forming foods such as sugars, saturated fats, and white breads. At the same time our consumption of fresh vegetables and essential fatty acids has decreased dramatically, making way for convenience and a generation hooked on sugary treats. This, along with stress, and exposure to toxins contribute to our bodies getting out of balance, and becoming more acidic.
How Do I Become More Alkaline?
When we talk about eating alkaline diet foods or starting an alkaline diet we are referring to consuming those foods and drink which have an alkaline effect on the body. This effect is based upon the mineral content of the food and therefore the ash residue that remains after our foods are consumed. Some foods leave an acid ash, whereas others leave an alkaline ash. Even though everybody is different, most of us should aim to eat 70-80% alkaline foods and a maximum of 20-30% acid forming foods. The easiest way to regain your pH balance and become more alkaline, is by drinking
