What is the most common reason why people gain weight? If you’re like most Americans, you might believe it’s because a person lacks willpower and just eats all day. Well, according to many doctors, what causes obesity is not self-control, but rather a low ph level. When the ph level is adjusted, the body is able to excrete the chemical byproducts responsible for holding onto fat. This process is known as alkalizing.

To get the body in an alkalizing mode, a person must eat the right type of foods. Green vegetables are especially good, because they contain the alkaloids the body needs to maintain a healthier ph level. Omega 3 fats, derived from fish and some plants, can also jumpstart the alkalizing process.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are foods that negatively interfere with alkalizing. Beef, chicken and dairy products are a few examples. Surprisingly, so are mushrooms. Despite the fact that they are high in zinc and germanium, mushrooms by nature have toxins that produce too many acids in the body. As a result, the ph level gets thrown off… just like it would if a person ate less ‘healthier’ foods.

Sodas are also horrible for the alkalizing process. It doesn’t matter if they are regular or diet. As long as they have carbonation, they make the alkalizing process more challenging. That’s why vegetable juice should be consumed when one has an urge to drink something other than water.

Why vegetable juice over fruit juice? Well, if you want the best alkalizing results, vegetables usually contain more alkaline compounds than fruit. But this is not to say that fruit juice should be eliminated, especially if someone is in the mood for something sweet. They should just make sure that they consume juices containing citrus fruit, such as lemonade. Again, it’s not as good as vegetable juice, but it does contain some alkalizing ability.

In conclusion, if you want to lose weight, focus on consuming a more alkaline diet. If you do this, it’s possible you’ll be able to lose 30 pounds a month without starving yourself or exercising 8 hours a day.

It is a land so enchanting, it’s hard to believe it’s real. It is a land where both men and women live to be 120. It is a land where there are absolutely no ailments or disease. It is a land where all of the residents have achieved perfect health. It is the Hunza.

Located in the mountains of Pakistan, the country of Hunza can almost be considered a heaven on earth. But to its residents, nothing seems unusual. They just go about their business working the land… even if they are over 100 years old!

For years scientists have wondered what made the Hunza people so different from everyone else. But aside from increased physical activity, the Hunza don’t really do anything differently from Americans. Even their diet contains foods that people in the U.S. are familiar with.

So, if this is the case, why are the Hunza so healthy? The answer can be summed up in two words: alkaline water. Since the Hunza are located in the mountains, all their water contains the highest concentration of oxygen possible. In addition, the water possess alkaline compounds, which are essential for maintaining good health.

In America and other Western countries, alkaline water does not come naturally. Even popular brands of bottle water may not contain the right amount of alkaline minerals. That’s why many people are opting to get their own alkaline water through ph drops.

How do ph drops create alkaline water? Basically, they add alkaline compounds that raise the water’s ph level. As a result, the person drinking the water increases their own ph level. When this happens, the body is in a better position to lose weight and fight off bacteria.

Of course, if you start drinking alkaline water later in life, you probably won’t live to be 120. But there’s a greater possibility of reaching your 90s, which is still extraordinary in Western culture.

Alkaline pH is the measure of the acid or alkaline solutions. Its range of 7.2 to 7.4 is best for the body to function and heal itself. The blood must maintain this pH to withdraw calcium from the bones. The withdrawing of calcium from bones neutralizes the blood pH that is too acidic. By a rough estimate, for every soda that is taken, the body should withdraw certain amount of mg to neutralize the acid.

Alkaline reserves act as a stock to maintain proper reserve of alkaline pH in the blood. If we consume more alkaline forming minerals in our body than required, it gets accumulated in the body tissue for future use.

When food is digested it is carried for the oxidization. Then the carbonic acid salts of the alkaline elements react with the circulating acid and release weak carbonic acid. Weak Carbonic acid then is readily destroyed through the lungs as carbon dioxide and water. It is then both alkaline and acid are set free. When the acid and alkaline elements are freed simultaneously, alkaline elements neutralize the acids without any delay. And, if by chance they are not neutralized then the acid elements are neutralized by the alkaline that is stored as a future reserve. Thus, the alkaline reserve is must for a healthy function of the body at all times.

To simplify, if there is any need to neutralize the acid, the body will release and consume the alkaline elements stored in the reservoir of the body. Thus, your body tends to be slightly alkaline.

When you add poor diet to the creation of these acids, you start to slow down the ability to cope with the acid. This is where the problem crops up. Fat is one of the problems associated with the acidity in the body. Due to the acidic problem, you may not properly metabolize the extra weight.

With acid-alkaline imbalance, you may not just experience weight gain but confront with numerous problems. The problems are aplenty; however, some of them are mentioned here. These are lack of stamina, energy, kidney problem, thyroid problem, poor circulation and metabolism, headaches, lack of enthusiasm, and several other complications.

Most of health problems are associated with the level of pH. Thus, for the proper functioning of body pH level should be stable and it should not be imbalanced. Our body is never ending process of chemical reactions, thus a balanced pH level is desirable for the body to be free from any ailments.

So, you must concentrate on the formation of alkaline instead on the formation of alkaline. You must consume all the fruits and vegetables that include the most of the alkaline forming. Also, with the consumption of green vegetables you must drink lot of water. Alkalinity condition stimulates nerve action while acidic condition inhibits it.

To maintain the alkaline pH balance of the blood, you must have a balanced diet plan. However, results are not to be expected to come in a day or two. A balanced food plan is a great help in replenishing and sustaining your alkaline pH balance of the blood.

What type of food is normally served on the American kitchen table during breakfast time? For meat, people usually consume eggs, sausage, bacon or ham. For carbs, people eat pancakes, cereal, pastries, muffins or toast. None of these options are the healthiest choice, even if they happen to be low in calories.

Why is this so? It’s because they lack alkaline compounds, which are essential for maintaining a healthy ph level. In fact, since many of these foods are high in fat, they could actually make a person’s ph level worse, (since digesting fat releases a lot of harmful acids).

So, instead of going for these more acidic foods, you should opt for alkaline food. With alkaline food, your body maintains an appropriate ph level. As a result, you feel completely revitalized. Not only will you be more energized, but you will also rev up your metabolism.

The only challenge you will have is getting used to eating alkaline food so early. Since alkaline food consists primarily of green vegetables and fish, it may seem out of place in the morning. Most Americans are just so used to eating these types of foods at lunch or in the evening at dinner.

Yet, if you want optimal health, alkaline food is the only way to go. You just have to recondition your mind. Really, who says that fish and vegetables can’t be consumed as a ‘breakfast’ meal? If Americans can get used to eating breakfast at night, (due to diners like I-Hop or Denny’s), surely they can learn to eat alkaline food in the morning.

Now, if you find that you honestly don’t have time to eat alkaline food for breakfast, you may want to consider consuming a green powder shake. Green powder shakes moderate your ph levels because they contain nothing but green vegetables. Plus, many of them contain additional flavoring, so in actuality they are just as palatable as any other health food drink on the market.
