The Acid-Alkaline Diet For Optimum Health, by C. Vasey

Restore your Health by Creating PH Balance in Your Diet

Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body and, as a result, are afflicted with many chronic ailments. In The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid alkaline balance can result in vast improvements in health. With more than 50,000 first-edition copies sold, this expanded second edition provides the latest information on restoring your body’s acid-alkaline balance.

To enjoy optimum health, our body needs balanced quantities of alkaline substances and acids. An imbalance can result in health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, depression, arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis.

With this new release, Christopher Vasey provides easy test methods to determine your acid levels, how to interpret these test results, and ways to establish a proper diet to maximize your health. In addition, he provides the latest information on proper hydration and de-acidification, important alkalizing supplements and how to eliminate the body’s accumulated acids through intestinal cleansing. As an added bonus, the book also includes a new, detailed example of an alkaline detoxifying diet.

Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods on the basis their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods based on their actual alkalizing or acidifying effect on the body so that you can design a diet best suited for your particular health needs. He goes further to explain how some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them, and how to use alkaline supplements to support your dietary needs.
