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!

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.
