This one single, simple mistake you could be making with your health could be the biggest mistake you can make:
Not consuming enough alkaline minerals on a daily basis could be the single most damaging thing you could possibly do to your health. And yet 99% of us never get enough.

A study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry has revealed that people who ate mainly alkalising foods such as vegetables, low sugar fruits and oily fish were less likely to get depression 6 years later, compared to those who ate highly acid-forming foods such as meat and bread.
The researchers at University College London examined the link between the diet and depression by studying data from 3,500 civil servants who were ‘middle aged’ and discovered those who ate lots of vegetables, low-sugar fruit and fish had a 26 per cent lower risk of future depression. The combination of these highly alkalising foods (including omega-3, too) decreased the risk of depression.

alkaline diet evidence
A recently published study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (Vol 94, No 1 96-102, 2009) has provided further evidence that the consumption of and supplementation with alkaline minerals is essential for good health.
The objective of the study was to understand the effect of alkaline minerals (potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride) on bone health – specifically, the ability of these alkaline minerals to slow the bone resorption rate and calcium excretion.
The researchers measured the urinary N-telopeptide and calcium of the trial group (receiving the supplements) and control group every 24 hours for 3 months. And the result?

I’m often asked: if Dr Young is so sure about this Alkaline Diet theory, why hasn’t anyone ever validated it with a study.
A fair enough question.
My answer is this:

Another top scientific research journal has published findings that prove that the alkaline diet is beneficial to human health.
The article, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism states that compounds in alkaline-forming plant foods, help preserve bone and muscle mass.
The study (abstract here) was conducted by researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, in Boston, Mass.
Here is the context (background/reason) and objective of the research:
Context: Protein is an essential component of muscle and bone. However, the acidic byproducts of protein metabolism may have a negative impact on the musculoskeletal system, particularly in older individuals with declining renal function.

We know that living alkaline increases your energy, vitality and wellness, but I must admit that this recent news caught my eye. I had seen recent research showing that increasing alkalinity was improving the performance of athletes (speed-based sports in particular) but I must admit my surprise at finding that a huge number of athletes at the Beijing Olympics were turning to alkalising to increase their performance.
And that alkalising was more effective than performance enhancing drugs!
A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine (June 2008) has shown that by increasing the pH of the blood (with alkaline salts) elite swimmers were able to significantly improve their performance times.

It is not that often that you seen top medical and scientific journals backing the theories behind the alkaline diet so this was a nice bonus to find this morning!
An article led by Lynda Frassetto, an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, has given wholehearted backing to the alkaline balance approach to health.
The article, titled ‘Diet, evolution and aging‘ proposes that changes to our diets in the past 200 years have created a mismatch between what our bodies require (nutritionally) and what we actually put in our mouths.
