Over the last five years, there has been an
explosion of bestselling acid/alkaline based diets. These have ranged
from weight loss to diabetes management. While hundreds of thousands
of people have gone on this diet that balances the pH level of your
body, they have had to put up with the limited food guides contained
in each book. Now, health experts Dr. Susan Brown and Larry Trivieri
have created a complete resource for people wanting to widen their
food choices. The Acid/Alkaline Food Guide offers dieters
an easy-to-follow guide to the most common foods that influence
your body's pH levels.
The book begins by explaining what the acid/alkaline
of your body has to do with the acid/alkaline influence of foods.
It then explains how the pH of foods, once eaten, may change in
your body--as citric acid fruits, once digested, become alkaline.
As complicated as this process is, the authors provide the guidelines
for the analysis of the foods covered in the book. This section
is then followed by a listing of thousands of foods and their acid/alkaline
ranges. Included are insets and groups that can help the reader
better direct their food searches.
