Acid Alkaline Balance Diet

Apparently I’m not in balance. At least my blood may not be.

I recently discovered a weight loss system called an Alkalizing Diet. It’s all to do with the types of food I eat and how the blood needs balancing to keep its natural pH levels. Foods either leave behind traces of acids or alkaline in your body once you have processed and metabolized them. Either substance is naturally then in your blood and can affect the rest of your insides and general health.

Your blood typically is a little on the alkaline side, but, it’s fair to say that the western world’s favoured diet isn’t one that leans towards the side of the alkaline (such things as fruit and vegetables). This is where the alkalizing diet comes into its own, for it attracts the right foods onto your dinner plate which contains that all important alkaline instead of acids.

When the body, especially mine, takes in too much acid from all the good things like sweets, alcohol and dairy products the blood’s natural balance is disrupted. Losses of minerals, like calcium, sodium and potassium are then in a state of loss as the body tries to repair the balance. Common ailments such as headaches, colds, flu and anxiety have all been linked to having too much acid in your diet, according to some practitioners. It’s all to do with this imbalance.

The alkalizing diet will bring fresh fruits and vegetables, and add nuts and legumes for a bit of protein. A quick search on the internet turned up a whole list of alkaline and acid based foods, so you can’t go wrong. Not only does this balance up the body and promote general good health, apparently the alkalizing diet is also great when it comes to weight loss. It gives you the right types of food to help shed some pounds, so it’s an all round home run if you ask me.

70% to 80% of alkaline based foods should be going into my body on an alkalizing diet. I guess that big bowl of ice cream will have to transform into a pineapple. See, it’s not hard to change your lifestyle. As long as you see plenty of fruits and vegetables before you, you should find a good balance and reap the healthy benefits of an alkalizing diet.
