Chapter 1: What is the Alkaline Diet?

T he Alkaline diet is a diet that helps to not only get your bodys pH level back to where it should be, but to also maintain this in the long term. All living organisms and life forms depend on set pH levels, although, each organism has different levels compared to what the human body is. Your pH level changes depending on the foods that you eat. The meaning of pH is potential of hydrogen, and this is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of the body. Essentially, this is why if you eat a lot of food which is high in acids, your body goes into a state of acidosis - which is fundamentally an electrolyte imbalance.

The human body has a range of 7.3 to 7.4 on a balanced level with 7 being neutral, this is normally lower than what your body will be depending on what you eat or have eaten and the time of day. It is worth noting when acidity in the body raises the levels of minerals fall. It is possible you could see a level of between 5 and 7, when acidity takes over.

Here I will explain how the diet works and some points of how the diet can be of benefit to you. It is believed since the cave man days to the present day, there have been changes in the acid load of the human diet. Due to food being mass industrialized over the last couple of hundred years, food crops now contain less chloride, magnesium, and potassium, with increased sodium.

It is the kidneys function to maintain the electrolyte levels so when you are exposed to over acidic foods, the electrolytes are used to counteract the acid buildup. With the changes in the way, food crops are processed and the average American consumes three times as much sodium as potassium. With the increase in sodium levels being consumed, there are also decreases in potassium, magnesium, fiber and antioxidants, so on top of all this, an average diet is very high in refined fats and sugars.

As a result, these changes mean that an average persons pH level is no longer at the optimal level, and this is coupled with a low nutrient intake especially magnesium and potassium. Effects on the body because of this are accelerated aging, a gradual loss of organ functions and lessened bone strength, which is the result of high acidity which steals minerals from the bones, cells, and tissues.

The complete pH level range is 0 14 with 7 being neutral and above 7 being called basic, so anything under 7 is acidic. There are many people who test their pH level by their urine, although this can be used as a guide, it is not totally reliable as this is the way the body flushes out the system so the levels may be interpreted incorrectly. Actually, the ideal way is to use litmus paper on the tongue. It is also worth noting that litmus paper is inexpensive and can be bought easily online. Some parts of the body are supposed to be acidic for the body to function - a good example of this is the stomach which is filled with acids which break down the foods we eat.

In the case of a persons blood falling out of the pH range, this can really be very serious, especially if it continues long term.

One subject which can be added, although not essentially a part of this diet is the use of Alkaline drinking water. Fundamentally, this does have a higher pH level than normal tap water which is classed as slightly acidic, and it is stated that the consumption of Alkaline water gives more nutrients and is more easily absorbed by the body. Additionally, at present there have not been enough studies conducted to prove that the use of Alkaline water does present any adverse health effects. If Alkaline water is consumed and the pH level change is correct to what people have said, this can actually have a major positive effect on the body. It is a highly convenient way to help keep your pH level remain in range, but should not be used as the only solution. It should be used in moderation and in conjunction with the diet, with most of the Alkalizing effects coming from your food.

If you happen to be vegetarian or vegan, this diet can easily work for you as the food contents are nearly all vegetables and fruits .

The recipes included have not been written with using meats in mind, although one or two have meat or fish as the primary source of protein as they were written as a balanced meal which gives the 80/20 split of alkalizing/other foods as is recommended. So, if you read a recipe and meat or fish is included, you can just omit this and continue with the recipe as it is, or you can add something to substitute the meat or fish which could work just as well. Either way, you choose, because they are designed so they are highly adaptable and varied in tastes, so there is something there that will satisfy your appetite.
