It is often said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, since around 70% of the illnesses and diseases today are caused by food, it will definitely take more than an apple to maintain your health. Nowadays, everyone is exposed to poor quality food, meaning that its highly processed and has already lost most of its nutrition value during processing. Due to a very stressful and always on lifestyle, people dont have the time to have proper lunch breaks or breakfasts and often indulge in unhealthy food. Some are already addicted to junk food and the adjacent drinks and snacks; thats why many people are facing different illnesses caused by junk food, or by the excess sugar from the drinks and sweets they are consuming. As a result, they have lost control over their weight and immune system. They have become vulnerable to diseasesnot just heart disease, liver or kidney diseases, diabetes or cancer, but also to the plain colds and flu.

Obesity and diabetes are serious problems, as in many cases they are linked to each other. Unfortunately, in the Western world, these two problems are becoming trends, as a high percentage of the population are affected by them. Children are exposed to them more than ever. Two-thirds of the American population is overweight, and half that number is considered obese. Diabetes rates are at an all-time highan estimated 25.8 million people in the United States have diabetes. Take a stroll down any urban main street and the signs and symptoms are there. We are getting bigger. And despite advances in modern medicine, we are still plagued by chronic disease. Most worryingly our children are getting bigger and facing a future of widespread health problems. Currently, one in three children is overweight, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that one in three children born after the year 2000 will develop diabetes at some point in their life.

People have tried to look for alternatives, for a healthier lifestyle and ways to lose weight. Once you know exactly the nutritional value of what you are eating, you can easily decide whether its worth eating that type of food or not. The normal person eats plenty of carbohydrates, so the body mostly runs on the glucose from these carbs. The problem is that people dont burn all the calories from their foodsome dont even get close so the excess calories are stored as fat, which is less likely to be burned. However, this is only the smallest problem, as serious diseases can come as a result of consuming a diet heavy in carbs and not burning the excess fat. Food processed at an industrial scale tends to be very harmful to the body. Thats why its good to eat as naturally as possible. The meat simply isnt too natural nowadays, since most of these animals are fed in such a way to grow really fast in an artificial way. Even fruits and vegetables are grown very fast, thereby sacrificing important growth time that generates vitamins and minerals. Because of the economic concerns that drive the food industry, its very difficult to find food which is 100% natural.

Understanding the food pyramid can help you decide what you need to consume the most and what to eat less. It has six different levels; the lower the level is, the more basic the food type is. The lowest level is represented by water, as no human being can survive without water for a prolonged period. Water represents more than 90% of the bloods volume and more than 60% of body weight. At the second level of the pyramid, we can find fruits and vegetables, which are at their highest nutritional value when consumed raw. They are very good sources of minerals, vitamins, glucose, lipids, and proteins. The third level of the pyramid is represented by wheat, bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice, which all represent the most consistent sources of carbohydrates. Carbs are often regarded as the main energy sources used by the body to function properly. However, you should not eat excessively from any of the food types in this level of the pyramid. Milk and dairy products can be found at the fourth level of the pyramid, and although they represent a very good source of calcium and proteins, you still need to avoid consuming too much of them, especially if the food type is highly processed.

Eggs and meat are at the fifth level of the pyramid, and they represent a very good source for vitamins, proteins, fats, minerals, and iron. Also, they should not be consumed in excess. The last level of the pyramid is represented by sweets and they have to be consumed (if you think you cant live with them) in very moderate quantities, as they are very rich in sugars, and all the studies have shown that this substance has no benefits to your health, only harmful effects. Sugars can cause obesity, significantly increase the risks of getting heart disease, diabetes, cancer, are linked with acne, can speed up the aging process of skin and cells, can lead to a fatty liver, and can also drain the energy out of you. If you feel that you cant drink your coffee or tea without sugar, then you need to significantly lower the amount of sugar you use, try to avoid any soda or juice with a high amount of sugars, or try to use stevia as an alternative for sweetening up your drinks or sweets.

With so many risks of serious diseases just from eating what is today considered normal, finding solutions to secure their health and control their weight has become the top priority for many people. This is where the alkaline diet can step in, and as you will discover in the following chapters of this book, it can prove very helpful for your health and also for losing weight. This book will provide you the most important information about the alkaline diet and its benefits, pH, alkaline food and even a detailed meal plan for a 30-day alkaline diet.
