What is my body? On the inside, I wondered. I had read somewhere about the dangers of having an acid body, something I wasn’t sure exactly what it meant. So a little research and I discovered that what I had overheard had more than an inkling of truth. Turns out I needed to be more concerned over having an alkaline body.

The body is naturally alkaline anyway. Your blood, by default has a pH (potential of hydrogen) level of around 7.4 on the scale. It has been suggested that this balance can easily be disrupted by overeating an abundance of acid foods. Acid foods detract from your alkaline body, and therein lies the problem.

Lack of energy, headaches and other common complaints can be blamed upon losing the balance of your alkaline body. The alkalinity helps to keep the blood oxygenated and therefore the immune system healthy and strong to fight off infections.

The main cause for such imbalance comes from the diet, the type and range of foods that are being metabolised on a regular basis. Too much acid and that 7.4pH may not be sustained and can lead to risk of illnesses and infections.

Doing a little housekeeping on yourself to keep your alkaline body as it should be, isn’t too much of an undertaking. Increased respiration rate and taking cold showers can help boost alkaline levels, but for the most part, eating alkaline foods will bring the overall health benefits as well as taking care of your natural alkaline levels. Vegetables and fruits, alkaline foods which are the main source of an alkalizing diet need to play a bigger part in your eating plans.

An alkaline food chart will point you in the right direction, but the signposts are clear. Less of the acid rich foods like meats, dairy and sweets, more of the goodness of vegetables and fruit. The quick and easy shortcut to a healthy alkaline body.

Acidic Body – Do You Want To Be Old and Fat Before Your Time?

It become apparently clear to me that I didn’t want an acidic body. No thank you. Suffering from a lack of energy, always catching a cold and suffering headaches, I sensed something was wrong. Or more to the point that something wasn’t right. I could feel it inside, feel the inner working of my body had gone awry somehow.

Not one to run to the doctor at the first sign of a sniffle, I researched alternative remedies and asked a lot of questions of people. I discovered that my body may not be in a natural balance, due to my diet. I may have adopted an acidic body. I wasn’t suffering from being overweight, or underweight for that matter, but the food on my plate was beginning to take its toll on me.


I love meat. I love sweets. I love a lot of dairy. I love a glass of wine with my meal, but it turns out all the things I love and enjoy about the eating experience may have been doing damage to my insides. My body should have an alkaline pH level, and with all the richly acidic foods that I have ingested over the years had resulted in my body holding up its inner hands and saying, ‘I’ve had enough!’.

Foods leave behind a residue of either an acid or alkaline, and naturally if you eat a lot of acid rich food, then that is what is going to remain in your system. There is only so much your body can do against it, it fights for as long as it can before succumbing to being an acidic body. That’s when the trouble starts, it becomes a breeding ground of infection and harmful bacteria and can bring on all of the symptoms from which I was suffering. Not dealing with the problem could lead to more serious health woes down the line, so I changed.

An alkalizing diet was the solution for me. Substituting the high percentage of acid foods that were common place in my diet, for those rich in alkaline. Fresh fruit and vegetables and everything else in moderation. What could be a simpler step in staying healthy?


Acidic Food is Killing Us

Step away from the plate! Meats, dairy, sweets and alcohol abundant in your meal? Very likely, as it seems to be the staple diet of the western world. If it takes and looks good then it finds its way on your dinner plate more often. The less glamorous, but more nutritionally viable things like fresh vegetables and fruit often get left by the way side. But it’s time to turn around the status quo.

Acidic food is probably doing your insides no favours at all. A build up of acid deposits, a culmination of eating too much acidic food can lead to serious health problems, cell decay and research suggests links to cancer. An alkaline balance is needed, for the body and its blood is naturally in the realms of being alkaline on the pH scale. It is this natural balance which needs to be maintained so that the body works healthily and efficiently.


Acidic food can take away vital oxygenation of the blood, and then the body struggles to operate at optimum performance. When that happens it becomes susceptible to foreign invaders, bacterial infection and illnesses. This obviously isn’t a good thing and it is all down to what, and how much of certain acid foods you are commonly eating.

A quick look at an alkaline and acidic food chart will point you in the right direction. It’s not hard to reduce the intake of acid foods, with a bit of careful forethought it can all be simply planned out. Just veer towards the vegetable aisle in the store and you’ll be guiding yourself right.

Acid foods still have their place, like the essential nutrients from meat, but they should be taken in moderation and supplemented with a high dose of alkaline diet foods. Around 70 to 80% of your diet should be alkaline. Get those vegetables and get back to your plate!

All those common complaints you have. All those annoying cold symptoms, the days in bed with flu. The headaches, the join pains…it isn’t necessary to suffer so much or so often from these things. Whilst it is inevitable that you’ll get some of them at some point, a bit of preventative medicine can reduce the risk of catching things.

Take an alkaline diet, full of the goodness of vegetables and fruit and naturally abundant in vitamins and enzymes that keeps the immune system healthy and powerful. An alkaline diet, replacing a lot of acidic foods like meats, dairy and sweets with more healthy options, helps to keep the natural blood pH levels in the realm of alkalinity. My blood is alkaline, so is yours. It needs to stay that way to protect and serve the vital organs inside.


Too much of the acid foods in your diet, and your pH levels can change. They can take a swing into the dark realms of acidity and cause a build up of problems in your system. The body has to undertake a lot more stress to rid itself of all the acid within, and when it starts depositing it in certain places in order to keep the blood clean, you get a build up. The acid build up causes cell decay.

But all is not lost in the fight to stay healthy. An alkaline diet can wrap your insides up in cotton wool and help protect from infections which can be caught with immune deficiency. The alkaline diet keeps your body on top of its game and rewards will be seen in your energy levels, your skin, your vitality and weight. By nature of the diet, it will also help shed pounds as well as feeding you a healthy dose of all the natural elements your body needs.

It didn’t take long to find recipes for an alkaline diet on the internet. It didn’t take long to find a chart of acid/alkaline foods. It didn’t take long since switching to start feeling better on the inside.

The pH Miracle Diet – Lose the Fat Forever

The pH Miracle Diet has been gaining world-wide recognition and respect as an authority on the most natural way to lose weight. It’s author, Dr Robert Young, has carried out extensive research on how the body reacts to both acidic and alkaline substances. Both of which can have either a positive or negative affect on our pH levels.

To get straight to the point, if our pH is more acidic than alkaline then that is when we start to hold on to fat, toxins and excess water – and eventually put on weight. The extra acidic levels in our body has a longterm detrimental affect on our blood, cells and other organs as it struggles to counteract the excess acids in the body. This is also when we start to become more ill and our body diseased.

“a body that is diseased is a body that is not at ease”

So how do we become acidic. In short, by eating too many acidic foods – which now make up the bulk of the Western diet and taking acidic drinks.

Acidity is predominant in most fruits, meats, and processed foods. Also drinking water – even bottled – has a higher acidity than it should. This, overtime, will ultimately lead to poor health and obesity.

Firstly, if you are overweight, then your body is too acidic. Many people will say, well it could be down to taking in too many calories (which is definitely a factor) or another medical reason such as diabetes or under-active thyroid. Well, let me explain that diseases and disorders such as these are as a direct result of your body becoming too acidic. This left untreated leads to illness, disease and death.

So had do we rectify this? Change your diet from one that is acidic to one that is predominantly alkaline. Commonly known as the pH Miracle Diet or the Acid Alkaline Balance diet.

Changing to this way of eating is much easier than it sounds, though I recommend it be done gradually as you can get nasty toxic withdrawal symptoms if it isn’t done right (as I did!) Following Dr Robert Young’s recommendations in the pH Miracle Diet is important, though there are now many other acid and alkaline balance authors bringing out their success stories and step by step weight loss plans to help you.

It all sounds a bit depressing – especially how it can affect our overall wellbeing. But let me tell you, this is the only way that I have found to not only lose the fat fast (average a pound per day), keep it off long term and become well from a lot of ill health in my life. If you are suffering right now, then I know you can get your weight, health and life back on track again by alkalizing for health!

Alkaline Water – Removes Toxins and Fat

Water. You would think and naturally assume that purified, distilled water would have a pH balance of neutral, correct?

Well, no. Apparently not, so I discovered. I recently undertook a change in dietary habits, switching to an alkalizing diet in order to cut down the intake of bad acidic foods. Little did I know that the water I was drinking could be acidic. I rapidly changed my intake to alkaline water.

Naturally when I switched my foods to more vegetables and fruits, then I assumed a good neutral balanced water should be taken with my meals instead of the usual glass of wine. Wine is acidic. No surprise there. So too, can water be. More than mild surprise there, no doubt.

Even though any water which goes through filtering, purification and distillation will, and should be pH neutral, it may not end up that way. Because of toxins in the air, the qualities of the water can change and become acidic because of the environment between processing and drinking. Hence the water’s natural balance can get disrupted too.

Drinking alkaline water along with an alkalizing diet, is a major health boost because it helps hydrate and cleanse the inner body. The alkaline water will help shed toxins within, helping to eliminate and shed acidic deposits which can sit around and cause problems. It’s a simple boost which can be easily overlooked.

Too much acid foods can lead to, and already be the cause of common complaints and illnesses. More serious health problems may also be encouraged by a high acid intake. The body needs to keep its natural alkaline balance to work efficiently and fight infections.

So it’s not just about drinking plenty of water, which we all should do, I understand. It’s about drinking the right quality of water. An alkaline water can boost your cell metabolism and help carry away the excess acids from your system and can aid in keeping your immune system in a healthy order.

A nice dish of hummus, some lime chilli stir fry, some broccoli soup, some lentil salad, a fresh fruit salad. It all sounds wonderful. They’ll all feel wonderful, or at least make me feel wonderful when I eat them as part of an acid alkaline diet. These are the good, natural, wholesome foods that my body needs to stay at its peak because they aid in bringing a steady supply of alkaline to me.

A good alkaline balance is needed in your system, because blood is naturally alkaline, but a lot of the food that finds its way into our diets is acidic. Meats, dairy, sweets, alcohol etc, all the good stuff that we have already been told that an excess of is not good for us, because of weight gain and high cholesterol levels amongst other things, are also detrimental to us because of the residues of acid they leave behind. Acid build up in the body only leads to an inner environment which is weak and susceptible to illness.

An acid alkaline diet taken in balance, where there is more alkaline being metabolised from foods than acid, can bring untold rewards for your body. High alkaline levels means that your body isn’t going to have to work overtime in the office to try and rid itself of excess acids. Those excess acids can really bring down your body and have been linked to a lot of common illnesses, as well as more serious conditions like cancer.

The fuel which I put in my body ultimately effects how well my engine will run. It is about taking all the acid foods in moderation, and enjoying more of the raw, organic foods which will give the body the boost in vitamins, protein and enzymes that it needs to run at optimum. When it does, the immune system is strong and isn’t weakened by the consequences of too much acid.

A balance of an acid alkaline diet can bring your system into harmony, where it should be. So stock up on the vegetables and fruit and eat your way healthier.

Cancer Alkaline Diet

Cancer Alkaline Diet.  What does this mean?

Foods leave behind a trace of either acid or alkaline. Most foods in the modern day diet are acidic. What does that equal? Problems for your body from an excess of acids left in the system after being metabolised from food. Excess of acids can leads to minor and more serious illnesses such as cancer.

Suggestions from research has shown links to an acid-rich diet weakening the immune system, because the body needs its natural alkaline levels to sustain a healthy working order. When that balance is disrupted then it is like sending an open invitation to illnesses and infections to come over and party inside. There is evidence to suggest that, because cancer cells are acidic and enjoy low-oxygenated environments within, a cancer alkaline diet can provide some prevention because alkaline levels increase when the blood is well oxygenated. When the natural balance of alkaline levels are where they should be, it means that it should provide environments where cancer cannot be born or survive.

It’s when there gets too much acid that needs dumping from the body. The body naturally finds a place to store it, and that place can suffer cell decay, which in turn leads to the creation of more acid. The cells that are stubborn and survive in these areas, do so by becoming abnormal. Malignant. Cancerous.

So a cancer alkaline diet can possibly provide a little protection. Natural foods like vegetables, legumes and fruit all help to keep the alkaline levels around the 7.4pH mark, where they should be. But, not only can an alkaline diet be looked upon for prevention of cancer, the all round health benefits of such a dietary plan brings so much more. It can aid with weight loss, boosting energy and vitality as well as keeping you looking young. You benefit from all the natural supplements of vitamins and enzymes that fresh and raw foods deliver.

Goodness and a helping hand from Mother Nature. Put yourself in her hands and let her take care of you.

It’s about taking a stance of balance in everything that you do. Too much of a good thing is bad, so I’ve heard, though I’ve never really associated that fact with chocolate. But, lo and behold how wrong I have been. So very wrong.

Chocolate is one of those highly acidic foods which is so predominant in the western world’s lazy, comfort food based diets. Turns out that too much acidic food is bad for you. This time we’re not talking weight issues, although I will touch upon that later, but this is about maintaining the natural harmony of your body.

An acid alkaline balance diet. Yes, diet. But bear with me here. Research has shown that too much acidic foods can be the cause of disease and illness within you. Your blood is alkaline and with so much acidic foods going in, being metabolised, the pH balance of ‘you’ can altar and head towards the bad end of the scale.

An acid alkaline balance diet does exactly what it may suggest. It balances the intake of acid and alkaline, with the prominence being given to the latter. Great sources of alkaline comes from delicious things like fresh vegetables (not overcooked as it’ll kill off vital enzymes) and fruit and with a healthy diet of those things, your alkaline levels can be helped kept in check. Too much acid equals a weakening of the body’s system, equals a breeding ground for disease and infection.

Keep yourself healthy – internally and externally. The benefits from switching to an acid alkaline balance diet doesn’t just come in the one form of keeping your blood levels correct. That in turn leads to other benefits, including weight loss and maintaining weight control. So you can keep yourself feeling young, keep yourself feeling full of more energy and keep your alkaline levels riding high.

The CR Way: Using the Secrets of Calorie Restriction for a Longer, Healthier Life

What is a Calorie Restriction Diet Plan?  Well, in short, it is a way of controlling the amount of calories you consume in day to either maintain your weight or lose weight.

Many calorie controlled diets are meant to be short term options.  However, quite often they are used in extreme ways which results in the body becoming malnourished.  Not only that, in the long term most people end up putting on even more weight!

So what is different about the Calorie Restriction Diet Plan?  Well, firstly, it involves restricting unhealthy calories – which are essential if you want to lose stored fat and excess water and toxins.

Secondly, it involves a step by step approach to planning a healthy balanced diet – one that is catered to your individual needs.  This involves a gradual reduction in the amount of calories consumed versus the amount of energy expelled.

Generally speaking about a 25% reduction in calories is deemed as healthy so long as the calories that are being consumed are made up from healthy nutritional foods.

In order to calculate how many calories you should be consuming, in order to lose weight, then you need to take into account how much energy you are using at rest (average of 1400 calories) and then how much is used in activities and exercise.

The Calorie Restriction Diet Plan is seen as a long term solution to combating obesity and managing weight in a sensible way.

It’s hot news right now due to the high success rates, and if you’d like more information then you can get more details of this plan as well as delicious calorie restriction recipes.
