Hello. These days I’ve been searching the net to find some diet that fits me. There are tons of them online, some of them are clinically tested, some of them aren’t, some of them are short term diets, some of them last longer…. It is so difficult. There are so many of them. How am I supposed to decide which one to try? I have never been on a diet before. So I gave up the internet and I asked my friend from high school. He always had problems with obesity and he is always following some diet program, so I thought he will know better than me. He suggested alkaline diet. He explained to me the basics. He said that the whole point is to change pH body level to alkaline. Can someone tell me what are the consequences of changing your body pH level with this diet?
Well, since you know the basics, I suppose you are familiar with the fact that health problems could appear more often if your body is too acidic. This mostly depends on the foods that you eat, especially meats, soda and coffee.
If you eat foods that can help you create more alkaline environment in your body, you will feel better and chances are you will prevent many possible diseases.
Changing your body pH level from acidic to alkaline can be a challenge. You must focus on eating the right types of foods. How much healthy foods you eat directly determines how alkaline your pH levels is going to be.
I was going to avoid discussing this topic but your question really bothers me. How can you believe that stuff?
I see advertisements for products such as alkaline water all the time. This alkaline water is supposed to help you to neutralize acid in your bloodstream? Drinking alkaline water and eating ‘’alkaline food’’ will not affect your blood acidity. Remember that. If someone told you that certain foods will make your stomach or blood acidic he/she does not understand a thing about nutrition.
It doesn’t matter whether the foods are acidic or alkaline. Foods can change only the acidity of your urine. Our stomach is so acidic that there is no such food that can change its acidity. You could take an entire bottle of antacids and your stomach’s acidity wouldn’t be changed for more than a few minutes.
