Alkaline Diet

The Secret to Abundant Energy and Vibrant Health

Most middle age people have lost much of their health and vitality. They try to eat well and exercise and yet they still suffer from chronic ailments that cannot be explained. They accept that it is all part of the aging process. They take medications to relieve symptoms of pain and end up dealing with side effects.

The truth is that most people are eating food that is dangerous, often toxin. It is only recently that the medical profession has acknowledged the role that diet plays on health and disease.

Here is the nasty truth that the beef, wheat, and dairy farmers do not want you to know.

The Western diet consists mainly of highly processed foods, red meat, dairy, wheat products. These foods acidify the body causing a wide range of chronic ailments. We are told to follow the Canada Food Guide that encourages inclusion of these foods and we have been brought up to eat fats, meat protein, vegetables, and wheat products together foods together. Roast potatoes, gravy, dinner bun, vegetables. Sounds good! Let me ask you. How do you feel after eating that meal? Are you tired, bloated, constipated, smelly flatulence, acid reflux, or heartburn?

A change in HOW WE EAT can restore your acid-alkaline balance, which can vastly improve health. You don't have to become a total vegetarian. You don't have to deny yourself a drink or two on occasion. You don't have to count calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. Make small changes to your diet. Just keep adding more alkaline foods to your diet. You will find that you crave less junk food, sugar, coffee and you will desire more alkaline foods. The bad bacteria in your body feeds on these foods and cause you to crave them. Once you make changes to your diet, these nasty bugs die and your body will not crave these foods any more. Also, when you start to see the weight drop off, you will be motivated to make better choices.

Your body functions best when neither too acid nor too alkaline. Unfortunately, almost all of us have become acidic due to our diet, drinks, and stress -- both psychological and from pollution. Acids can build up in our body, causing systems to be out of balance.

A Slightly Alkaline Body is a Must For Good Health

Maintaining proper acid/alkaline balance is one of the best things you can do for your health. When you adopt a different lifestyle your body has the ability to heal itself. A Ph reading between 6.75 and 7.25 is good. When your body fluids fall below 6.75, it means that your tissues are acidic. This acid environment makes the perfect breeding ground for microforms, which deplete the alkaline minerals in our bodies. This can cause a multitude of problems including low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even ore serious disorders and diseases.

If you suffer from gas, diarrhea, bloating, constipation, yeast overgrowth, or more serious digestive conditions there is hope. Understand that there is a war going on between good and bad bacteria in your gut! Many people lead lifestyles that kill off beneficial bacteria (also called probiotics or friendly flora). 85 percent of the bacteria living in your gut should be good, and only 15 percent should be bad. Eating yogurt with probiotics is a start but it will not win the war.

Watch these symptoms improve or completely disappear!

Acid Reflux
Bad breath
Bloating
Body odor
Cancer!
Candida (yeast overgrowth)
Constipation
Diabetes
Diarrhea
Dull skin and hair
Eczema
Fatigue
Fewer moodswings

Smelly flatulence

Eating a Ph balanced diet will reduce or get rid of body toxins and nasty bacteria. However, when the body is out of balance, the bad bacteria eat important minerals in our bodies leaving us vulnerable to health conditions and disease. It is important that the body has mineral support containing Colloidal Silver. It is a mineral that has the ability to target the bad guys in your gut by stopping the growth of the bad bacteria and leaving the good bacteria alone. Your choice of Silver should be true colloid, not silver compounds, or proteins bound with silver. It should be formulated to have a safe amount of silver, preferably between 5-10 parts per million (ppm). It should be tested to be non-toxic and be efficacious.

The effects on the body

Anthony Robbins, Author of "Awaken The Giant Within" says that "Alkalize your body and live a healthier, more energized, and ultimately more fulfilling life. According to Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky, "Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates, and sulfates. These acidic waste products are the direct cause of premature aging and the onset of chronic disease."

When this occurs, the body will restore its optimal pH by depleting certain minerals, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, from organs and bones. In addition, your immune system may become fatigued from dealing with an excess of acid. Your body then stores acidic wastes in 'hiding places' such as muscles etc. rather than releasing the acids into the bloodstream.

The body needs minerals to help fight these nasty microbes. Unfortunately, most of us do not eat perfect diets rich in minerals therefore, an alkalizing mineral supplement is recommended.

As Dr. Robert Atkins, the well-known author, health and diet expert, notes, "Just about every condition I can think of, from arthritis to diabetes to cancer, is associated with acidity."

Dr. Theodore Baroody ND, PhD, who is a foremost authority on acidity of the body, has written a five star book called "Alkalize or Die," which is a must read for those concerned with health and longevity.

He states that it is imperative to keep the body more alkaline so the body can heal itself. We should be eating 80 percent alkaline forming foods and 20 percent acid forming foods. Unfortunately, the average western diet is skewed the other way around, which after a period is a recipe for disaster. He goes on to state: "In my opinion, distilled water and alkaline restructured water are the safest forms of water at this time of our earth's toxic exploitation. It is not advisable to drink city tap water no matter what city you live in. It is nauseating to see what is precipitated out of an apparently clear glass of tap water. The chlorine in it breaks down to form chloroform. The fluoride is a waste product. The aluminum, used to make the water sparkle, has been linked by responsible researchers to many illnesses, including Alzheimer's disease."

"Electronically restructured water is produced through a special Electrolyzing unit. This method yields alkaline drinking water and has another facet that is particularly interesting -- it lowers the millivoltage of the water. This means that the water molecule is re-figured into a lighter, simpler form that is definitely more absorbable in the body.

So not only are you getting a more alkaline product, but also there is a hertz frequency charge that is beneficial. Since we cannot destroy matter, but can rearrange the electrons, when we produce Alkaline Water, we also produce Acid Water, which can be used as a skin spray disinfectant that will heal and cleanse the skin of any number of bacterial, fungal, or environmental problems. (Cold Sores, Eczema, Psoriasis, Burns, Sunburns, Insect Bites, Wounds, Acne, Herpes, and Hives to name a few)". "The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause...too much tissue acid waste in the body!"

Refresh, Renew, Revitalize

What if I told you that YOU have the ability to change all that and feel radiant good health like you use to? What if I told you that YOU can get rid of your chronic health problems? No more fatigue, achy bones and muscles, pains in your joints, stomach and digestive problems or bothersome skin ailments. Are you sick of feeling sick and tired?

The truth is, we are killing ourselves with all the goodness the western world has to offer. Plenty of red meat, dairy, wheat for refined carbohydrates and vegetables and fruits, all accompanied by additives, chemicals, hormones, anti-biotics etc. We can't avoid it. Unless you can afford to eat only organic food our bodies are stockpiling all these chemicals because it can't get rid of them.

What is the answer? Well, detoxifying the body on a regular basis is key. Get rid of the junk that our bodies can not metabolize. It will only make you sick and die. Find out what your body is really saying with a simple Ph test to find out the acidic/alkaline value of your bodily fluids.

By simply understanding the basic concepts of acidic/alkaline, good and bad bacteria and what are bodies need to be well and heal themselves you WILL feel better.

A vast body of research reveals that you can help neutralize acid build-up in the blood and maintain a balanced pH, by:

Detoxifying the body
Getting regular exercise
Avoiding highly acid-forming foods and drinks
Drinking the RIGHT water!

Our precious water could be killing us!

We all know how important it is too hydrate well by drinking eight glasses of water a day. Did you realize that water can be acidic or alkaline, good or poor quality, even in this part of the world? Good water is pure, is alkaline, is oxygenated, and contains quality minerals. Unfortunately, our tap water is treated with chemicals.

Is Your Water Bottle Safe?

If you are concerned about the leaching of plastic chemicals into your water the right bottle for you is a BPA free water bottle. It will protect the water's integrity and taste and has no plastic taste or smell.

What is the "right" water?

"International studies show that populations with little or no history of illness, such as cancer, drink higher pH (alkaline) waters. After all potential risk factors were considered and factored out; it became evident that they had been drinking waters with a pH of 9.0 to 10.0." Dr. Leonard Horowitz in "Aids and Ebola"

Alkaline ionized water "first came to notice in Japan, where researchers noted that people drinking water that came from certain fast- moving rocky mountain streams enjoyed extraordinarily good health. It turned out that this naturally occurring water was alkaline and had a different structure and electrical properties. Larry Clapp, PhD. in Prostate Health in 90 days.

Alkaline water is produced at home with a small kitchen appliance called a water ionizer (long in use in Japan and Korea). As water ionizers have become popular in North America, more health professionals have had the opportunity to evaluate their effects on clients:

Sue Pollock, N.D. writes, we can "assist the body in being more alkaline with ...drinking alkaline water." Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky states, "I believe that the best water is water that is alkaline (reduced) and purified using a small device known as a water ionizer."

Dr. T. Baroody states in his book, "Alkalize or Die" "It is my opinion that ionized water will change the way in which all health practitioners and the public approach their health in the coming years." .

What if I change my diet?

According to Sang Whang, researcher and author of "Reverse Aging", states that the danger is that we might omit important foods:
"Since the waste products that we are trying to discharge are acidic, the right kind of water is alkaline water...My personal recommendation is to enjoy the foods that we like, but do not over-eat or exclude any food. Eat in moderation following the professional dieticians' balanced diet concept, and let alkaline water do the job of cleansing acidic wastes."

What are the benefits?

Your health problems will improve while you loose unwanted weight but increase muscle mass.
Dr. Robert O. Young, MS, D.Sc., Ph.D., Author of "The pH Miracle" states that "The energy and vitality you had as a child will return. You will have a new mental clarity and improved concentration. Your strength and stamina will improve. Your eyes and skin will be bright and clear. You will feel terrific!"
