For whom?

It should be said right away that this is not an easy and quick way to lose weight, but a daily work on yourself. If you want to make proper nutrition your habit, this approach will definitely suit you.

Initially, this system was intended for people with digestive tract problems to normalize acidity to bring the pH-balance of the body back to normal. Later it was noticed that in addition to restoring the balance, the patients’ appetite stabilized and metabolism accelerated. As a result, after six months of following such a diet, the weight of the subjects decreased to normal.
It is worth trying such a diet for those who regularly suffer from mood swings, GI problems, acne, have a dull complexion and get tired quickly.

What is the essence?

During the day you should eat 80% alkaline and 20% acidic foods. At first glance – not very simple. But it’s not as complicated as it seems. In the human body, the level of acid-alkaline balance (the same pH) should be neutral and equal to 7. In the blood this indicator is higher, in the stomach – lower. But any jumps have a negative impact on well-being and health in general.

Overweight in the acidic side doctors call acidosis.
