Product Description
Review
"If you are looking for a simple plan for detoxification and rejuvenation, you will find this book very useful."
Product Description
A practical diet plan for restoring the acid-alkaline balance your body needs to experience optimum health- Explains how acidification of the body contributes to disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, and ulcers- Categorizes food according to its acidifying or alkalizing effect on the body, rather than by chemical composition- Contains food tables to help readers design the best diet for their health needsTo 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, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis.Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body and, as a result, are afflicted with many of these ailments. Naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in a vast improvement in health.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. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods on the basis of 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.

This review is from: Acid Alkaline Diet For Optimum Health 2nd Ed (Paperback)
Excellent book.It is clear and concise and was a great help to me in dealing with health problems created by excess acids in my body! Thank you Christopher! The other books I read were too radical and self promoting, this one promotes good health and tell you how to do it!

This review is from: Acid Alkaline Diet For Optimum Health 2nd Ed (Paperback)
This is a book everyone should have. It gives a person an understanding how the body functions, how diseases start when the pH in our bodies is out of balance. It's a book well worth reading and applying to keep ourselves healthy.

Acid-Alkaline,
By Babs "Must-Shrink Collector" (Kingston ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acid Alkaline Diet For Optimum Health 2nd Ed (Paperback)
This is well-written, plausible even to me, a skeptic. All it lacks is the science to prove that it's so. I got it for more info when making decisions about foods. If all things are close to equal, it doesn't hurt to know about this when eating. (I'm a diabetic with gout, and more).
