Alkalize

Following an alkalizing diet, in addition to taking alkalizing supplementation, is probably the single most important heath regime that a person can undertake.

Most diseases are a result of allowing the body to become too acidic. For example, it has been proven that cancer cannot exist in an alkaline environment. Heart disease will mostly only occur when the body has been subject to acidic conditions for long periods of time. The blood needs to maintain a balance of between 7.35 – 7.45, otherwise the person will die. If the blood starts to become too acidic, the natural body response is to take alkaline minerals from other parts to correct the pH balance. One of these minerals is calcium from the bones and teeth. The result is blocked arteries, tooth decay, osteoporosis and arthritis. Another alkaline mineral to be taken seriously is magnesium. This is required for over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. The majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium, and possibly explains why the general health status has deteriorated. Magnesium is so important that it deserves its own page.

The best alkaline foods are raw vegetables, live sprouts, and nuts. Dr Robert Young (“The PH Miracle) suggests that 80% of your meal should be alkaline foods, with the balance being acid foods. However, for his alkalizing program, Dr Young suggests that the first nine weeks of changing over, the meals should be 100% alkaline. He has achieved miraculous results with this method including with cancer, diabetes, gout and many others.

Below is an example of a man who followed Dr Robert Young’s program (he is in his 40’s):
