    Why Adopt an Alkaline Diet?

    After working with thousands of patients over two decades on their diet and nutrition, there is one
    thing that I have observed time and time again: Those who can successfully adopt an alkaline diet get
    better and recover faster than those who do not, regardless of the condition. It is really that simple.
    The problem is that it is not always easy. It can be very time consuming and is not always cost effective. The biggest problem of all is that it is denitely not palatable.

    Here we will discuss the history and efficacy of the alkaline diet, measuring pH and why it is important, and new and effective strategies that allow everyone to attain and maintain an alkaline lifestyle.

    What is an Alkaline Diet?

    So what actually is an alkaline diet? Simply put, the foods that we eat each and every day fall into one
    of two categories: they are either acid-forming or alkaline-forming foods. Generally, acid-forming
    foods are traditionally associated with increasing inammation throughout the body, and inammation is associated with most health challenges that people suffer from today. Alkaline-forming foods
    are traditionally more oxygenating foods and are more likely to assist in recovery and maintenance of
    good health.

    So which foods are acidic, and which are alkaline? Okay, get ready, because here comes the bad
    news. Meat, chicken, sh, cheese, milk, bread, pasta, coffee, beer, wine, soda, and ice cream are all
    examples of acidic foods. (See next page for a more complete listing of acidifying foods.) Examples
    of alkaline foods include broccoli, kale, chard, cabbage, wheatgrass, and barley grass. (See next page
    for a more complete listing of alkalizing foods.)

    Why Dont Most People Eat an Alkaline Diet?


    These examples should give you a pretty good understanding of why it is so hard for people to eat an alkaline diet. We are
    ruled by our palates. If broccoli tasted as good as an ice cream sundae, then everyone would want to eat an alkaline diet.
    Most people remember the rst time they tried wheatgrass, because it is usually also the last time they had it. The commentary usually goes something like this:
    It tasted like I just licked the bottom of my lawnmower. Im never doing that again.
    And thats the end of their alkaline diet.
    Most of us end up subscribing to a philosophy similar to that of Mark Twain, who I believe once said, I know I would live ten
    years longer if I quit smoking, but that would be ten years without cigarettes.

    History of the Alkaline Diet


    Although the alkaline diet has become quite popular over the past few years, it is not a new concept. French surgeon and
    biologist, Dr. Alexis Carrel, winner of the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was quoted as saying, The human cell
    is immortal, as long as we maintain the alkaline uids that it is bathed in.
    In 1933, Dr. William Howard Hay, originator of the concept of food combining said, Now we depart from health in just the
    proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount...
    It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily
    so.
    Perhaps the most straightforward statement on the subject is from Arthur Guyton, MD, author of the Textbook of Medical
    Physiology. In his denitive textbook, Dr. Guyton states, The rst step to maintaining health is to alkalize the body. The cells
    of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are acidic. Since our bodies do not manufacture alkalinity,
    we must supply the alkalinity from an outside source to keep us from being acidic and dying.
    Fast-forward to today, in the internationally acclaimed book, The pH Miracle, Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD, states, A new day is
    dawning. A day of truly holistic health, vitality and well-being. A time of energizing our very cells, maximizing the life force
    of our bodies. An era of naturally lean and strong physiques! An era of focusing on the right foods instead of the wrong
    drugs.
    Dr. Young continues, It's all about balancepH balance. The universe operates by keeping opposites in balance, and the
    universe contained within your body is no exception.
    He then goes on to say, The pH level of our internal uids affects every cell in our bodies. The entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. Chronic over-acidity corrodes body tissue, and if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular
    activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural ring of your brain. In other words, over-acidity interferes with life itself.

    Measuring pH
    The abbreviation pH stands for potential of hydrogen. Saliva and urine pH are measured using litmus paper. A scale of 1 to 14
    is used to measure pH, with 1 being most acidic, 7 being neutral pH, and 14 being most alkaline (see Figure C). Blood pH is
    usually measured in a hospital using a specic pH test called an arterial blood gas (ABG). Blood pH runs ideally at 7.365 and
    does not vary up or down by even a decimal point unless the body is in an acute health-care crisis. It may seem that the
    difference between, for example, 6.2 and 7.2 is a small thing, because it is just a point, but this is a big thing since the pH
    scale is logarithmic. This means that if you test at 6.2, youre actually ten times more acidic than if youre testing at 7.2. If
    youre testing at 5.2, then youre a hundred times more acidic than at 7.2! Thats a big deal when it comes to your health.
    For our purposes, we can get a lot of information about the state of health of our internal body systems by regularly checking our saliva and urinary pH. Although there are a variety of reasons why pH can vary up or down, as a general rule, we are
    at our healthiest when the pH of our tissues runs consistently on the slightly alkaline side.
    In his book, The pH Miracle For Weight Loss, Dr. Young states, Both the salivary and urine pH should be between 6.8 and
    7.2, with 7.2 being ideal.

    Where We Are Now


    So where are we today as a nation? Where have our overly acidic diets gotten us? Some sources are now reporting that four
    out of ve Americans will die of cancer, heart disease, or stroke. Diabetes is quickly becoming an epidemic, with sixty-nine
    percent of the population considered overweight or obese. We are not getting any younger either, since every six seconds,
    one of our over seventy-six million baby boomers turns fty years old. In the March, 2005 issue of the New England Journal of
    Medicine, Dr. David S. Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Childrens Hospital Boston, states, Obesity is such that this
    generation of children could be the rst, basically in the history of the United States, to live less healthful and shorter lives
    than their parents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2015, approximately two point three billion adults
    worldwide will be overweight, with more than seven hundred million obese. Talk about some heavy stress on the adrenals!
    Pretty scary stuff, huh? Well, it doesnt have to be. Just take a look at a documentary that was done not long ago called,
    Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. In this program, Gabriel Cousens, MD assembled a medical team to see what
    would happen if six insulin-dependent, type II diabetics were fed nothing but raw, green, plant-based, whole foods for just
    thirty days. Although I highly recommend watching this compelling documentary in its entirety, here is a brief summation of
    the results. After just forty-eight hours on this raw, plant-based diet, everyone who followed the program was able to lower
    their insulin dose. Thats just forty-eight hours on real food! After just two weeks of eating this way, they were completely off
    insulin, and by the end of the thirty days, they were medically released as non-diabetic. It really is that simple. The only problem is that the diet is not easy to do. One participant was quoted as saying something to the effect of they would rather be
    dead than to have to spend their life having to eat this way. Herein lies the human condition. As the legendary Jim Henson
    Muppets character, Kermit the Frog, once put it, Its not easy being green.
    Looking at adopting an alkaline diet is not a fad; it has become a necessity. Diabetes and obesity are just the tip of the iceberg. Here is a partial list of conditions that have been associated with chronic acidosis:

    Headaches and migraines

    Yeast or fungal overgrowth

    Bladder conditions

    Hormonal problems

    Kidney stones

    Premature aging

    Immune deciency

    Loose and irritated teeth

    Lack of energy and fatigue

    Excess stomach acid

    Acne

    Lack of drive, joy, and enthusiasm

    Dry skin

    Low body temperature

    Hyperactivity

    Insomnia

    Dizziness

    Viral and bacterial infections

    Panic attacks

    Respiratory issues

    Joint discomfort

    Learning disabilities

    Depressive tendencies

    Loss of memory and concentration

    Cardiovascular issues

    Ulcers

    Food allergies

    Bone disorders

    Chemical sensitivities

    Hair loss

    Weak nails

    Slow digestion and elimination


    ... the list goes on!

    Does that list sound like anyone you know?

    Okay, so we need to eat Alkaline, but how are we going to do it? If it were easy, everyone would probably be doing
    it already. After twenty-three years of practice, Ive seen less than two percent of my patients change their diets
    completely, as described by Doctors Young, Cousens, and Campbell. So what about the other ninety-eight percent?
    Are they doomed?

    The Easy Way to Go Alkaline


    After years of frustration due to lack of compliance, follow-through, and maintenance of an alkaline diet, I decided
    to nd a solution rather than to continue to throw my hands up in disappointment. I worked out a program that anyone and everyone could do, whether young or old, sick or healthy, and even those who hated greens. I helped design a line of products to support and supplement any diet and turn it into an alkaline diet which are now being produced by SevenPoint2. For the rst time in history, it is now simple, easy, cost-effective, and most of all, palatable
    to be alkaline. Anyone can do iteven you!

    simple (adjective): not hard to understand or do

    Most people have, at some time in their lives, tried a diet.


    While most traditional weight-loss plans can help you lose
    weight, the biggest challenge is that many times they can
    make your health worse by causing your body to become
    too acidic. This, in turn, can cause a major disruption in
    your metabolism, so even if you do lose weight, you end
    up gaining it back even faster. That is why we have developed the Weight Loss Made Simple program.
    The key to Weight Loss Made Simple is alkalinity. When
    you eat acidic foods, it can send the body into a ght-oright response, causing it to store the excess acid as fat.
    When you eat alkaline foods, your body tends to emulsify
    fat (take big fat and turn it into little fat), making it easier
    for your body to better digest and eliminate. This one fundamental key is what makes the SevenPoint2 Weight Loss Made Simple program so effective for dramatic and
    lasting results.
