6 Easy Solutions To Heal An Acidic System And Restore Proper Alkalinity Of The Body

Image
Food faddists and self-proclaimed experts with a modicum of nutritional knowledge will suggest that we should alkalize our diets.  So we should all become vegetarians, right? WRONG Many well-meaning people are SO confused about this topic.  I had a poor woman come into my office last week who currently had metastatic breast cancer telling me that she only eats alkaline and neutral foods – on this diet, she was eating lots of beans, vegetables, fruits, and sugars.  She was terrified of meat and animal fat as she was concerned about the acidity.  Meanwhile, she was clearly wasting away from a lack of protein and fat in her diet, and regardless her saliva was still extremely acidic. Please, please, don’t be fooled by the alkaline / acid myth. The issue of acidity and alkalinity is important to the body.  Frequently when someone has cancer and they look at the ph of their saliva they see that they are acid.  The obvious solution – eat an alkaline diet...
