May 11, 2007, Newsletter Issue #64: Alkaline Diet

Tip of the Week

The human body is slightly alkaline, so, the alkaline diet proponents claim, the foods we eat also be slightly alkaline. Meanwhile, we eat mostly acidic foods - meats, poultry, sugar, caffeine, starches, and foods that become acidic in process of preparation, conservation, etc. Most of the US population is also lacking the alkaline minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

There's no scientific evidence to support his theory but some alternative medicine practitioners claim that they have plenty of case histories describing their patients who felt bad on high fat, low carb diets and improved their health after switching to the mostly vegetarian diet with plenty of raw vegetables such as: dark green leafy vegetables, many kinds of sprouts, fresh herbs, kale and other sea plants. Nuts and oils are considered very beneficial though highly alkaline are only pumpkin seeds.

There's no highly alkaline fruits and only a few only slightly alkaline - all citruses and coconuts.
