by utilizing alkaline food and hair care products I have compounded myself after the cancer diagnosis almost a decade ago. Cancer is metabolic acidosis thriving in a body of acid.

Diet & PH Management

Alkaline Diets: the alkaline diet -- also known as the alkaline ash diet or alkaline acid diet -- can help you lose weight stabilize your PH and avoid chronic disease problems like Ra, arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and the dreaded cancer. The “terrain theory model” which I have personally practiced for over a decade since my own cancer diagnosis, is that most foods, like meat, wheat, refined sugar, and processed foods, cause your body to produce acid, which is bad for you and allows the viruses to continue to feed and thrive in the body causing a list of (symptoms “ like the (flu).  So, according to the "science" behind this LIfestyle change , eating specific foods that make your body more alkaline can protect against those conditions as well as shed pounds and lower inflammation.

What You Can and Can't Eat

Most fruits and vegetables, quinoa, and some nuts, seeds, and legumes are alkaline-promoting foods, so they're fair game. Dairy, eggs, meat, most grains, and processed foods, like canned and packaged snacks and convenience foods, fall on the acid side and are not allowed.  My book that touts the alkaline diet for hair and health also says you shouldn't have alcohol or caffeine, either as mold can be found in the beans Acidosis forming drinks and elevated the heart rate

Level of Effort: High

You'll be cutting out a lot of foods you may be used to eating.  Limitations: Many foods are off-limits, and so are alcohol and caffeine.  Cooking and shopping: You can get fruits and vegetables at the grocery store. It may take a while to learn how to prep and cook your meals when you use fresh foods I give you a simple list.

In-Person Meetings: Yes 

Exercise: required.

Does It Allow for Restrictions or Preferences?
Vegetarians and vegans: This diet is mostly to become completely vegetarian. It also works for vegans, in that dairy is off-limits.

Gluten-free: The diet excludes wheat, but to avoid gluten completely, you'll need to check food labels carefully, as gluten is not just in wheat.

Besides wheat, the diet nixes most of the other major triggers for food allergies, including milk, eggs, peanuts, walnuts, fish, and shellfish. It's also good for people who are trying to avoid fat and sugar.

What Else You Should Know
Cost: My website The Holistic Apothecary Shop will supply you with information about the alkaline diet also sell courses, books, supplements, and alkaline-infused water, food, and drinks to get started

Support: This is a diet you do on your own after I coach you for a few weeks

First, a little chemistry: A pH level measures how acid or alkaline something is. A pH of 0 is totally acidic, while a pH of 14 is completely alkaline. A pH of 7 is neutral. Those levels vary throughout your body. Your blood is slightly alkaline, with a pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Your stomach is very acidic, with a pH of 3.5 or below, so it can break down food. And your urine changes, depending on what you eat -- that's how your body keeps the level in your blood steady.

The alkaline LIfestyle helps your body maintain its blood pH level. In fact, nothing you eat is going to substantially change the pH of your blood. Your body works to keep that level constant.  But the foods you're supposed to eat on the alkaline diet are good for you and will support a healthy weight loss and lower inflammation: lots of fruits and vegetables, and lots of water. Avoiding sugar, alcohol, and processed foods is healthy weight-loss advice, too.

Is It Good for Certain Conditions?

Following an alkaline diet means choosing fruits and vegetables over higher-calorie, higher-fat choices. You will detox before feeling relief to rid the body’s excess heavy metals and indigestible processed food stored in the colon.

That’s great news for heart health because these steps help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, which are big risk factors for heart disease.

Getting to a healthy weight is also important in preventing and treating diabetes and osteoarthritis.  Some studies have found that an alkaline environment may make certain chemotherapy drugs more effective or less toxic and it has been shown that an alkaline diet can do this or help prevent cancer. If you have cancer, this is a key component for removing acidosis and nutritional needs .

The Final Word

We don’t get Cancer we (do cancer) same as ALL (Dis-Ease) The emphasis on fruits and vegetables that is at the core of alkaline diets offers the promise of healthy weight loss and a PH range of 7 . No special gear or supplements are required but YOU .

You’ll have the best success with it if you like to choose and experiment with new foods and love to cook.  But following an alkaline diet will be tough for many people.

A lot of favorite foods that are allowed in moderation in other plans (including lean meat, low-fat dairy, bread, and sweets) are forbidden here. Protein is limited to plant-based sources such as beans and quinoa . This means you will have to make sure you get enough protein and calcium.

Eating out also can be a challenge. If you travel a lot for work or have a busy schedule, you might feel bogged down by all the food selection and prep.

Finally, many alkaline diets fail to address a major factor in weight loss and wellness success: exercise. You should include fitness in any healthy eating plan that you exercise
