According to the American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition, the health problems associated with diet ‘represents by far the most serious threat to public health’.
The modern diet has facilitated the production of acid in our bodies. Having a high acidic body creates a hostile environment where chronic illness thrives.

He talks about called Alkaline diet but what is it and how does it benefit your heart?
Read on.
What is an alkaline diet?
An alkaline diet is a diet that promotes health by eliminating what is called acidic food and incorporating vibrant alkaline food.
Acidic foods are meat, dairy, refined sugar, alcohol, and processed food, and alkaline food include delicious fruits and vegetables.
The alkaline diet believes the system that illness only grows in an acidic excessive environment.
This excess acidic environment is caused by modern eating habits where processed food, meat, dairy products refined sugar, alcohol are at the center of the diet.
To be able to reverse or cure diseases you have to create a more alkaline environment for your body.
What is pH levels and how does it affect our health?
pH stands for potential hydrogen. It is a scale to measure the acidity or alkalinity of your body is.
You can measure your Ph on a scale of 0 to 14. With 0-7 being acidic and 7- 14 being alkaline.
You have to see it like this.
When a soil pH level is not balanced a flour can’t flourish.
This is the same thing you. We can't experience optimal health if your pH isn’t balanced.
When our body is balanced pH it lowered to chances for chronic diseases, low immunity, and cellular damages.
It gets better.
Our bodies constantly shift and adjust to keep balanced naturally.
But the problem is that we don’t eat natural food to help the body do its work.
Our diet consists of food that has an acidifying effect on the body.
This lifestyle makes us prone to inflammation and sickness such as acne, skin diseases, bowel problems (affect how your body digests and absorbs food), depression, sleeping troubles, migraines, brain fog, weight problems, infertility.

What do you eat on an alkaline diet?
Most of the food we eat releases an acid or an alkaline base in the blood.
Although the alkaline diet encourages to eat fruits and vegetables, not ALL are eligible.
According to the teaching of Dr. Sebi, some fruits and vegetables are GMO and hybrids. These are not good for you.
GMO is genetically modified is when an organism is being modified in a laboratory.
This means that it is not in its original form anymore.
Hybrids are when combining the organism from two different species to create something this is previously nonexistent.
It’s not natural and this not good for you.
In my following article, I’m going to talk about GMOs and hybrids' food more extensively.
For now, Dr. Sebi left us with a great list of foods we can eat. This is what he called: The Nutritional Guide.

If you use this list as a guideline it will help you keep the guesswork out of the thing you should or shouldn’t eat.

The list can have some vegetables that are not easily found especially if you are in Europe.

Give Yourself Try out time
DM me your story, I will respond personally.
Don’t
Don’t worry about perfection. You don’t have to be 100% immediately.
Don’t think about this as a “diet” that comes and goes. This is a lifestyle.
Don’t wait until you sick to start making some dietary changes.
I was an extreme meet lover, and extreme eater, I love food. Till the day of today, I am the ONLY one in my entire family (that I know off) that is plant-based vegetarian. So I’m depending on myself and I’m enjoying this new lifestyle still. If I can do it you can do it too. It’s cliche, but it’s true.
