Alkaline Diet Cookbook: Eat Well on Alkaline Diet and Reclaim Your Health

The alkaline diet is also known as the acid-alkaline diet or alkaline ash diet.Its premise is that your diet can alter the pH value the measurement of acidity or alkalinity of your body. Your metabolism the conversion of food into energy is sometimes compared to fire. Both involve a chemical reaction that breaks down a solid mass. However, the chemical reactions in your body happen in a slow and controlled manner. When things burn, an ash residue is left behind. Similarly, the foods you eat leave an "ash" residue known as metabolic waste. This metabolic waste can be alkaline, neutral, or acidic. Proponents of this diet claim that metabolic waste can directly affect your body's acidity. In other words, if you eat foods that leave acidic ash, it makes your blood more acidic. If you eat foods that leave alkaline ash, it makes your blood more alkaline. According to the acid-ash hypothesis, acidic ash is thought to make you vulnerable to illness and disease, whereas alkaline ash is considered protective. By choosing more alkaline foods, you should be able to "alkalize" your body and improve your health. Food components that leave an acidic ash include protein, phosphate, and sulfur, while alkaline components include calcium, magnesium, and potassium.Certain food groups are considered acidic, alkaline, or neutral: Acidic: meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, grains, alcoholNeutral: natural fats, starches, and sugarsAlkaline: fruits, nuts, legumes, and vegetables
