| A practical diet plan for restoring the acid-alkaline balance your body needs to experience optimum health • Explains how acidification of the body contributes to disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, and ulcers • Categorises food according to its acidifying or alkalising effect on the body, rather than by chemical composition • Contains food tables to help readers design the best diet for their health needs To enjoy optimum health, our body needs balanced quantities of alkaline substances and acids. An imbalance can result in health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis. Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body and, as a result, are afflicted with many of these ailments. Naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in a vast improvement in health. Vasey provides easy test methods to determine your acid levels, how to interpret these test results, and ways to establish a proper diet to maximise your health. Rather than organising alkaline and acid foods on the basis of their chemical composition, Vasey categorises foods based on their actual alkalising or acidifying effect on the body so that you can design a diet best suited for your particular health needs. He goes further to explain how some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalising or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them, and how to use alkaline supplements to support your dietary needs.
