The rate at which diseases and unhealthful conditions are escalating
in today's world is really alarming. Regions, countries and villages
that never witnessed some of the conditions like obesity and diseases
like cancer before are today suffering from the same. The lean bodies
that were characterized with some continents are no more. And what could
be the cause of all these?
Although there are a number of factors
that are considered responsible for the observable change we are
witnessing in the society today, diet comes tops. The truth is that most
communities have long left their traditional dietary systems. Their
traditional cuisines are today prepared to them as special diets. In any

Recently
a good number of celebrities have been endorsing the alkaline diet. One

What Constitutes the Alkaline Diet?
It
is proven that once someone's body is loaded by too much protein
especially the animal based amino acids, too much caffeine, excessive
refine sugars, alcoholic and fermented substances together with highly
processed foods, the body pH goes down correspondingly. As a result, the
body acidity raises a precursor for weight gain and almost all the
diseases today. The remedy for this is to increase the body pH or rather
make it alkaline. This is done by eating much of fresh vegetables and
fruits and their raw juices together with other alkaline promoters which
include legumes, soy products together with a number of grains and
nuts. These should replace the acid promoters such as poultry, dairy
products, meat, aquatic animals, white flour, refined sugars, and
caffeine among other highly processed foods.
