Gastric hyperacidity is one of the most common medical conditions.
Furthermore, metabolic acidosis is said to be the basis of all diseases, as it is directly related to various kidney problems, diabetes, ulcers, and many other internal diseases.
Therefore, the purpose of the alkaline diet is to bring pH back to normal and help with weight loss, not through calorie deficit, but by replacing certain other acidic foods with alkaline foods.
The alkaline diet is a mod that was born out of people’s desire/need to treat gastric hyperacidity and prevent or postpone problems caused by acidosis.
The alkaline diet plan involves making compound meals as follows:
a) 75% of alkaline foods, which have a pH higher than 7.4, closer to 8;
b) 25% acidic foods;
What is the difference between acidic foods and alkaline diets?
In chemical terms, acidic foods are saturated with hydrogen ions, while alkaline foods have a chemical structure that allows the absorption of hydrogen ions.
Normally, the internal pH (of the blood) is 7.38 to 7.52. It is important that the pH does not fall below 7, as this can lead to grade IV coma and death of the patient.
Moreover, the blood should not have a very basic character, but only slightly alkaline, otherwise there is a risk of involuntary muscle contractions, extremely powerful and painful.
Which foods are alkaline and which are acidic?
In the acidic food category are all traditional foods, sodas, pastries, and of course alcoholic beverages. Chicken, beef, turkey, pasta, refined oils, pickles (very acidic!), All cookies and all derivatives of the above products have relatively high acidity, the value of which can increase or decrease depending on the method of preparation.
In the category of alkaline diet foods we have:
a) cheese, cucumber and lettuce, avocado and all vegetables and edible plants rich in chlorophyll;
b) soy milk, soy chunks, coconut, lemon, millet, beans and buckwheat;
c) seabuckthorn;
d) cold pressed oil of any kind;
Alkaline water is vital to the alkaline diet!
For those who cannot maintain the recommended percentages in the diet (75% alkaline foods and 25% acidic foods), it is recommended to replace drinks with alkaline water. Any water that has a pH greater than 7.7 is considered alkaline water and can be consumed in large quantities. The risk of blood pH rising to critical values is very low, 2.5-3 liters of alkaline water a day helps anyone maintain their optimum health and always helps detox the body and scavenge free radicals Is.
No smoking allowed!
Smoking is one such habit which creates a lot of acidity in the body which happens when we drink alcohol too.
Hence it is advised to minimize or completely eliminate these activities from your daily routine so that the body has every chance of staying healthy and clean. Therefore, smoking is strictly prohibited in the alkaline diet.
