The premise of an alkaline diet is that the nutrients found in supplements, alkalizing foods, and water can bring the body back to balance. These vitamins, minerals, and herbs infuse the body with new energy, vitality, and better health.
Alkaline foods and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients the body needs to neutralize acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, tissues, and cells. When pH balance inside the body is ‘out of balance’ the body tries to correct that sensitive pH balance, however, the process can show up as uncomfortable symptoms, including colds, ues, allergies, diseases, viruses, and bacteria to name a few. you may also feel ill for no reason, become stressed and have the impression of being burned out. Many complain of such symptoms as difficulty concentrating, headaches, tension, cramp, joint pain, constipation, heartburn, skin impurities, cellulite or obesity – the list is long. When the pH level in our body is unbalanced, almost any area of the body can be affected. For example when the nervous system is affected as the result of unbalanced pH balance it can show up in the form of the depression. When the cardiovascular system is affected we could develop heart disease or experience other heart-related problems, including thickening and hardening of the arteries, coronary heart disease, pain or discomfort in the chest, stroke, high blood pressure, and heart failure. When muscles are affected we often feel fatigue and lack of energy. When skin is affected by improper pH balance we age quicker than normal.
When the body’s pH level is in balance or is corrected, the body is better able to reach ideal weight and heal negative health challenges naturally. A good acid-base balance is vital for the most important metabolic processes. Hyperacidity prevents fat from being broken down and burned off – which means, among other things, that an overly acidic diet slowly but steadily leads to surplus weight. This is because, when fat is broken down, it produces large quantities of acids that have to be removed by basic minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium and iron).
To transition to a more alkaline healthy diet, it requires a shift in attitude towards food. The important point to remember is that small changes go a long way. Add more alkaline foods to your diet gradually.
