Acid
Alkaline Diet Guidelines:
Becoming
alkaline, or alkalising,
emphasises a reduction of foods
which have an acidifying effect
on the body and an emphasis on those that are alkalising. These
healthy, alkaline, nourishing and life
giving foods include green, leafy vegetables, salads, nuts, low-sugar
fruits and healthy fats & oils. The reason we need to alkalise
our body is because the Western diet has become so focused
upon acid-forming foods such as sugars, trans-fats, dairy, fizzy
drinks,
chocolates and cigarettes.
The result? Just
take a look around you. At least one person you know will be obese,
fatigued, chronically ill, or prematurely aging.
In the UK over 40% of deaths are related to heart disease1 and
over 2 million people have diabetes2 .. 1 in 4 children are obese
today3
, and this statistic has doubled in the last decade.
So what is
the answer? The answer is to focus our diet and lifestyle on foods that alkalise
our bodies, infusing us with the nutrients we need to flush out
the toxins and return our bodies to their natural state. Through
over-acidification we have literally become sick and tired.
