This expanded second edition provides the latest information on restoring your body’s acid-alkaline balance • Discusses the role of enzyme supplements, prebiotic and probiotic complexes, and antioxidants in neutralizing and eliminating acids • Addresses the relationship of proper hydration to essential enzyme activity and acid elimination • Outlines a sample alkaline detoxification diet Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body. As a result, they are afflicted with health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis. To enjoy optimum health, the body needs balanced quantities of alkaline and acid substances. 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 two new chapters, this updated and expanded second edition provides the latest information on proper hydration and deacidification, important alkalizing supplements, and how to eliminate the body’s accumulated acids through intestinal cleansing. It also includes a new, detailed example of an alkaline detoxifying diet. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods based on their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods by their effect on the body, explaining that some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them. He describes how to determine your acid levels and how to design a diet best suited for your particular health needs.

The Acid Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health by Christopher Vaseyis an informative book on the need to reduce acid pH in the bodyby eliminating junk food, highly processed foods and eating moreleafy green vegetables and beets. Vasey discusses the role of enzymesupplements, prebiotic and probiotic complexes, and antioxidants inneutralizing excess acids.The author explains that most consumers eat too many highly processedfoods that acidify the body. The result is a range of health problems likechronic fatigue, ulcers and greater sensitivity to arthritis and relateddiseases of the skeleton. Optimum health requires that the body have aproper balance of alkaline and acid substances. The problem is thatVasey doesn't support these statements with authoritative research findingsfrom places like The Lancet. Scientists know inferentially that the bodydecays and becomes more acidic after death occurs.Generally, a pH up to 6.9 is acidic. A pH of 7 is amphoteric and beyond 7is the alkaline state. Vasey defines the acid/alkaline measurement statisticsproperly with various urine tests to measure the pH. The problem is thatthe author needs to relate these measurements to authoritative medicaljournals either in the USA or overseas.Much of the book is dedicated to eliminating excess acid through diet,supplements and all natural remedies like reducing the overconsumptionof red meat. In addition, a sedentary life style with little exercise iscited as a contributor to excess acidity. The converse or rigorousexercise is associated with alkalinity which contributes to the desiredbody chemistry balance.
