My mother had some health issues lately.
She doesn’t feel good. She lacks energy and lately, she catches every single virus and cold. I don’t know what is going on, she have always been very energetic and I saw her sick maybe twice in my entire life.
A friend from work told her about Alkaline diet. This diet is suppose to change her body pH level from acid to alkaline, and then, she is suppose to feel energetic, livelier and her immune system should be able to protect her better.
Is this diet really that good or is it a scam?
I am familiar with this diet. I once heard some guy in the bus talking about it with another guy who is a nutritionist, if I understood him correctly. They were saying it is great. The nutritionist advised him to try it.
The whole idea of this diet is to eat less acidic food and as much as you can alkaline food. The alkaline food will affect your body pH level in a way that it becomes more alkaline. And everybody says that our body pH level should be more alkaline than acidic, so that the immune system can defend us easier from all the viruses and diseases that come after us.
I think it is just a scam. My sister followed this diet for a while.
About a year ago, she was not feeling very well, she was constantly sick ( nothing serious, but very frequent) and her friend suggested her to try this diet.
I must say she lost three pounds for the whole time, she was feeling week and lacking energy. She did not notice any improvement whatsoever.
I think that it might be the best for your mother to eat healthy food, full of vitamins and minerals, regardless of its acidic/ alkaline forming tendency. You will see how she gets better.
