Does the Alkaline Diet Work?

By Vadim Guchinskiy

In order to answer that question, first we need to ask ourselves this:
1. What exactly do we mean by "alkaline diet"?
and...
2. How do we define or determine what it means for it to "work"?
So let's take those two things one at a time.
First:
The alkaline diet is a diet designed to "alkalize" the body. The goal of alkalizing is to promote the slightly alkaline state in which the body operates best. To reach this goal, the alkaline diet promotes eating larger amounts of fruits and vegetables, and fewer meats and certain other foods. Many alkaline "experts" recommend about 80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic foods. The bottom line for most people is that the diet usually entails a lot more fruits and veggies, and a lot less meats and dairy.
Second:
There is evidence that eating an acid-producing diet can lead to many health problems, including osteoporosis and cancer. The alkaline diet, then, has the goal of being the logical opposite of an acid-producing diet.
If too much acid can cause stomach and esophageal cancer or osteoporosis, than one might reach the logical conclusion that the alkaline diet would drastically reduce the chances of the same.
While many people follow the alkaline diet for these reasons, many others follow the diet for the same reasons most of us follow any diet:
To be healthy and lose weight.
So can the alkaline diet, as defined above, help you accomplish these goals?
Will eating less meat and dairy reduce your risks of some cancers? Yes. There is evidence that high consumption of meat in the U.S. contributes to the prevalence of colon cancer.
Will devoting a larger portion of your diet to fruits and vegetables help you to lose weight and feel healthier, and reduce your risk of certain cancers? Again, the answer has to be "yes". Many organic fruits and vegetables are good alkalizing foods and show promise in numerous other areas of health. And when re-balancing your diet in a way similar to that which is promoted by the alkaline diet, you almost cannot help but lose weight. Most people fall to a healthier weight naturally over time when they make the change.
So from our perspective, the answer has to be "yes". The alkaline diet, and the process of alkalizing, does indeed "work" in the ways we expect it to.
One key thing to understand though, is that just because a food is considered "acidic" doesn't mean that it produces acid in the body. A good example of this is citrus: a lemon is acidic, but when metabolized by the body it has an alkalizing effect. So don't make the mistake of avoiding citrus or some other foods that may be considered "acidic". Instead, focus on result that the food produces in the body.

Your Breakfast Determines the Course of Metabolism And Why We Need Alkaline Foods

By Dr. P. Jentschura

In our time, burdened with illnesses caused by modern-day civilization, many people have the course of their physical and psychological health predetermined upon waking in the morning. Does the day begin with instant psychological stress for the soul followed by a "Greek breakfast" for our physicality? For many men and women in the generation under fifty, the Greek breakfast is "cool" and "in".
Maybe you belong to the older generation and aren't familiar with this "Greek breakfast". It consists of a cup of strong black coffee and a cigarette. That makes one feel alive after a short night and ready for another stressful day. That's why one cleverly begins with immediate physical and psychological stress, and insists on continuing this familiar rhythm.
Fortunately, this Greek breakfast is more likely the exception than the norm on most breakfast tables. Yet, unfortunately, the other four breakfast types are not more "healthy". In fact, they give way to metabolic problems, rather than strengthening our metabolism, immune system, and overall physical health. We differentiate between the four breakfast types as follows:
The Gluten Breakfast
The gluten breakfast is the most common white flour breakfast with bread and buns, and it is also the crunchy-muesli-breakfast. People who are allergic to gluten should avoid this kind of breakfast, and many people who suffer from digestive problems should reduce their intake of grains. After being consumed over years and decades, gluten has the tendency to congeal, and become lodged in our organs. These constrictions are the reason for the rise of high blood pressure, which reveals itself over the decades of our lives. This rise in physical pressure can have many effects such as inflammations or physical stress, and also the constrictions and congestions of our blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, and other conductors such as the fallopian tube, ureter, or seminal duct.
The Milk Breakfast
The daily milk breakfast equally contributes to constrictions and congestions of our vessels. Milk does not only contain a high degree of congestive components, but also many elements of phosphate and the enzyme catalase. The high amount of phosphate is the reason that milk and milk product are not calcium providers, but actually calcium robbers.
The catalase in cows' milk is an oxygen robber and sets in motion all kinds of deficiency diseases. Catalase reduces the intake of oxygen into our blood, and therefore into our whole organism. However, oxygen is the great receptor for all substances reaching into our organism.
Our body as a whole consists of 80% oxygen. This element is the main axis of our entire metabolism. Even our bones chemically consist mainly of oxygen.
The element oxygen is a so called "negative element." It doesn't mean it is a bad element, it means it is an "absorbing" one. Diseases like iron deficiency anaemia are solved in no time; if one eliminates milk and milk products while introducing oxygen therapies, such as the haematoma oxygen therapy or a pointed supply of ionic oxygen.
The Sugar Breakfast
The ingredients of a sugar breakfast rapidly ferment within our bodies, causing many negative consequences. Bread and buns themselves are derived from a fermentation process. The huge consumption of sugar in jams, nut spreads, chocolate drinks and other drinks introduces constant alcohol fermentation in the intestines. Over the years this hidden inebriation of our youth may be the less observed reason our young people tap into an over-consumption of alcohol.
The constant overload of bad alcohol derived from the fermentation in the small intestines in the organism of the child has already lowered the IQ level and the whole spirit and body performance levels.
Children like the typical toast or white flour bread with chocolate spread, which contains much sugar and fat. The result is our children become overweight and weak, while the acidity of the body increases, leading to diabetes and excess weight. The vessels become burdened with sticky gluten, and fungal diseases will also rise.
Due to the sugar portion and the missing fibre in the diet, the blood sugar level will rise. After that, the insulin level will rise to transfer the sugar and fat into the cells. The blood sugar level then rapidly drops and the brain again signals food cravings. New energy has to be activated to overcome the low level of energy. If again sweets, coke, energy drinks are consumed, the whole dangerous cycle is repeated, and the blood sugar levels again play roller-coaster. Boredom and lack of motivation rotates with aggressiveness and hyper activity. Soon there is the need for "helpful" psychological drugs.
The Salty Breakfast
Business people know this breakfast as the "New York breakfast." It consists of a plate of scrambled eggs, white bread with fried sausages and fried ham. The 'normal' salty breakfast consists of ham and sausage, egg with salt and pepper, and tasty cheeses.
The salt lovers normally aren't aware that the two kidneys generally are only able to eliminate daily 5-6 grams common salt. Notice, this is in reference to both kidneys! This so called "salt barrier" causes a salt congestion, which manifests itself as lard fat in the kidneys and then as lard fat in the intestines. With a continuous excessive consumption of salt and subsequent accumulation of waste products, cellulite, back tension, causes damaged intervertebral discs; in the end these so called "new hips" are further steps of a career ladder, which all began with an overload of the kidneys. There are two recommendations for salt lovers in restoring internal balance. The first is to reduce the salt intake. The second well-meaning advice is to strengthen the two kidneys in their ability to release acidity and sodium chloride. This strengthening takes place through an extensive provision of omni molecular vital substances. For example: zinc is a great support to the kidneys in eliminating acids and poisoning salts. Now we come to the fifth type of breakfast.
The Gluten Free and Lactose Free Vital Substances Breakfast
This fifth breakfast is a kind of "quinta essentia" for our health. Greece in the old days knew four elements--water, earth, fire, and air--while searching for thousands of years for the fifth element, the "quinta essentia".
How does the best possible "quinta essentia" breakfast look like? It is a salt free, dairy free, sugar free, and gluten free breakfast. It is also not a raw breakfast, it will be cooked for a short time, and therefore digestible and absorbable for all constitution types, as well for babies, seniors and people with allergies. This breakfast is mineral rich and filled with vital substances. It is an ideal metabolism starter. It is composed of non-allergenic gluten free seeds such as millet, buckwheat, amaranth, sweet almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, which are providers of high quality fatty acids.
Such a breakfast is an integral part of an omni molecular supply of vital substances for our organism providing a health start in the early morning. With such a nutrient-rich supply we strengthen our immune system and support our organism in overcoming the many allergies in our time. It is also the ideal breakfast for an anti fungus diet, and for weight loss. It is a breakfast with a high density of nutritional value, but without empty calories.
Of course, such a breakfast is a helpful tool for regeneration, in any convalescence, and for any high performance sportsman, for any person who suffers digestive weaknesses, and of course, for our children and babies from months 10 until months 12 years old. It is a breakfast without any additives and of course, without any refined sugar.
I have called this fifth breakfast "MorgenStund". In doing so I followed a German proverb "The early bird catches the worm". In the early morning, one sets the course of metabolism for a day of stress and sluggishness, or for a day of radiant happiness and vibrant health, where we have an abundance of creative energy to accomplish our day's work. I am the intellectual father of this breakfast. The ingredients were created by my brilliant team of dieticians and my beloved friend and Co-author of my books, Josef Lohkaemper.
Morgenstund is teeming with a rich array of vital substances and nutrients... Your entire physical and mental health will greatly benefit from this powerful morning start.

Alkaline Breakfast Ideas

By Andrew John Cowan

The alkaline diet advocates eating alkaline and acid foods in a ratio of 4:1. According to advocates of the diet, this promotes the best pH balance within the body.
Having followed this dietary protocol for two months I certainly agree that it benefits overall health and well being. The alkaline diet is very close to what most people would simply regard as a healthy diet. The acid/alkaline terminology is one possible explanation as to why increasing alkaline foods in our diet is a good thing.
There is contradictory information regarding what is and isn't an acid food. It may not be 100% accurate to believe that all fruit and vegetables are alkaline foods while almost everything else is an acid food. However it is a straight forward guideline to follow. The alkaline diet is not specifically a vegetarian or vegan diet. It simply advocates increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables in our diet.
Eating an alkaline breakfast is an excellent way to start the day getting plenty of nutrition as well as giving your body an alkaline boost. If we take our definition of alkaline foods to be fruit and vegetables, an alkaline breakfast is a breakfast loaded with fruit and veg.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 report recommends 9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day. An alkaline breakfast puts you well on your way to reaching this target. 9 servings may seem like quite a high number. When I started my alkaline diet, my aim was 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. The best way in my opinion to greatly increase your consumption is to make your own fruit and vegetable juices. Two juices a day with a minimum of 3 pieces of fruit and vegetables gives you a minimum of 6 servings. Then it's easy to reach double figures with a couple of bits of fruit and some vegetables at meal times.
Here are a few examples of alkaline breakfasts:

Carrot (3) and ginger juice followed by a banana or two.
Grapefruit (1 or 2) and a large glass of water.
Apple (1 or 2), spinach (20+ stalks) and ginger juice with scrambled egg whites.

Even without a fruit and vegetable juicer it is easy to eat an alkaline breakfast. One option is to grate a couple of carrots and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
As a transition to an alkaline diet, starting with just one meal is an easy way to go. I started with breakfast and as I began to feel the benefits, particularly in my energy levels, I gradually increased the amount of fruit and vegetables in my other meals.
If you are keen to eat more healthily and improve your physical well being, from personal experience, I recommend starting the day with an alkaline breakfast.

Why Juice Plus+ can Help to Promote Weight Loss and Prevent Food Cravings.

The reason why Juice Plus+ products can be highly effective at reducing food cravings and promoting weight loss is simply because their primary ingredients are dried, organic, fruits and vegetables.What this means is that when they are mixed with water, they help to promote an alkaline PH within the body by releasing powerful antioxidants. Through my research over the last five years into the benefits of maintaining a healthy alkaline balance within the body through diet and exercise, I have discovered that maintaining an internal alkaline environment is the most effective way to promote weight loss and prevent food cravings and here's why: In an over acidic body caused by a typical western diet and the stresses of daily life, we produce a fatty substance known as cholesterol to wrap up acidic, radical toxins, to protect our vital organs from radical damage, otherwise known as oxidative stress which is also the cause of pretty much all disease. The body then stores this fatty substance in areas such as the stomach, however it can't be released until the toxins have been neutralised or flushed from the body. In an over acid body we also crave carbohydrates and sugary foods because our cells can only produce cellular energy known as ATP, via a process known as glycolysis, better known as fermentation, this means that we require 18 times more calories to produce the same amount of cellular energy, therefore we will be 18 times more hungry when we are over acid, than we will be when we are healthy and alkaline. Therefore, because Juice Plus+ is full of natural ant- oxidants, it neutralises acid radicals and in turn, helps to restore the body's PH to an alkaline equilibrium and this allows our toxic fat reserves to be released and curbs our hunger and ultimately provides us with more energy to live a healthy and active life.

Eat Alkaline To Promote Weight Loss And Good Health with "Quantum Alkaline Cuisine"

Alkaline Diet Recipes, Qauntum Alkaline Cuisine This blog; "Alkaline Diet Recipes,"along with "Quantum Alkaline Cuisine," and "Harradine Health" are all based on the discoveries I have made regarding the importance of maintaining a healthy, alkaline balance within the body and its connection with the food we eat , our thoughts and the energetic , health principles of the east. I have then combined my experience as a chef and knowledge of alkaline cuisine and nutrition to create a huge range of delicious, alkaline adaptations of popular dishes, and many tasty new creations, as well as an advanced alkaline diet plan entitled the " V 10 HPlan," that has been specifically created with the founding principles of alkaline nutrition to promote weight loss, disease regression and greater levels of health and vitality.My journey of discovery started around five years ago and has allowed me to uncover how eating a healthy alkaline diet, is quite literally; "the most powerful thing we can all do to prevent disease and illness, promote weight loss, postpone ageing and manifest greater levels of health, vitality and mental clarity." My discoveries have also provided me with a comprehensive, quantum understanding, of the workings of health, disease, nutrition and life itself. However, despite all of this knowledge being known by eastern health practitioners, monks and yogis for millennia , its importance is still relatively undiscovered by western health and nutrition. This is one of the reasons why alkaline cookery still remains on the back burner, and has not yet been fully embraced by enough chefs, restaurants or supermarkets to become a mainstream, approach to health and cuisine. Another reason for this is because most of the current attempts at alkaline cuisine remain to diverse and extreme compared to the diets many are used to.Therefore, my mission for the foreseeable future is to promote the scientific importance of eating a healthy alkaline diet and to create many of my delicious, alkaline recipes so that we can all continue to enjoy the food we love and stay alkaline simply by making a few minor changes to our cooking techniques and ingredients. My ultimate aim however, is to ensuring "Quantum Alkaline Cuisine" becomes the first approach to prevent disease and promote health and vitality in the future.
