The acid-alkaline diet for optimum health: restore your health by creating a balance in your diet
A practical diet plan for restoring acid-base 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
• Class food according to its acidifying or alkalizing effect on the body rather than the 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 cause 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, therefore, suffer from many of these diseases. Naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-base balance can lead to great improvement in health.
Vasey provides easy test methods to determine your acid levels, how to interpret these test results, and how to establish an adequate diet to maximize your health. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods based on their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods based on their actual alkalizing or acidifying effect on the body so that you can design a plan best suited to your particular health needs. It goes further to explain how some foods such as fruits, can have an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them, and how to use alkaline supplements to support your dietary needs.
