A Total Body Makeover

By Samantha Terry


You have found, in this short piece of writing, the answer to better living through how we eat and how we live. It is too easy to get lost among the latest and greatest diets, and to pick out the facts from the fiction.

Pollution has become a major factor in an industrial world. Everything we eat or drink has been affected by the environmental toxins that surround us. In order to be rid of these toxins, we must change how we live and what we eat, including how we define our nutritional needs so that we can cleanse ourselves of those internal toxins.

Introducing an alkaline diet to your life is the best way to get results to repair the damage we have caused ourselves by eating badly. An alkalizing diet tweaks our body's Ph level to healthy zones. People require around 7.4 to maintain good health. The trouble is, what we eat does not promote that currently. When our body's Ph levels are too high or too low, our bodies will react negatively. Symptoms ranging from low back pain, kidney stones, and chronic diseases forming are just a few of the ways our body is crying out for help. Blood pressure and cholesterol levels become unmanageable, we become obese, and we struggle to repair the damage. We can reverse the damage by simply choosing to eat and drink the right things that will get our body back into safe Ph levels.

The key to fixing any problem is to solve it at it's source. We tend to treat the side effects, rarely the cause. There is not much we can do to fix the industrialized world and keep it from leaching toxins into the earth our plants grow from, that feed the things we in turn consume. What we can do however, is recognize where the toxins come from, and how to go into battle with them fully prepared.

We have not been hunter/gatherer's since ancient times, so why continue to eat as though we were? Due to an agricultural revolution and industrialization, our diet has reflected drops in potassium, magnesium, and fiber and an increase in chlorides, fats, sugars, and sodium. This results in metabolic acidosis (chronic renal failure) which means our kidneys are not removing enough acid from our body. Our poor kidneys just cannot keep up. Metabolic acidosis can lead to academia whose effects include coma and death.

Benefits from eating alkalizing foods instead include the retention of muscle mass as we age, due to the high potassium level in fruits and vegetables, and a reduced acid load. It has also been shown to improve growth hormones, which improves our quality of life by reducing cardiovascular risk factors, and helping memory and cognition. People who suffer chronic low back pain who have switched to an alkaline diet have increased their intracellular magnesium resulting in the proper function of enzymes and activation of vitamin D, which in turn, removes the pain.
