Lastly Alex's transition to Alkaline Diet

Dr. Young has spent many years comparing healthy & diseased blood cells and plasma under a microscope, and learning about the way internal environment contributes to health or disease.

He found that our internal environment gets acidified through destructive lifestyle, diet, and stress and consequently our body begins compensating. For instance, the body might begin drawing upon the minerals from the bones and muscles to alkalize itself. As a result our internal physiological processes eventually breaks down and has difficulty warding off illnesses.

According to Dr Young, maintaining an appropriate internal alkaline environment is crucial in allowing our body to function optimally.

You may already know that the top-most health problems and killers such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are related to diet. Further, obesity is an escalating problem in our society affecting even the younger generation.

Fortunately, alkaline diet, which is gaining even more popularity, has provided relief from some of the most severe symptoms and health issues, and has helped people regain their vitality.

saturated & hydrogenated fats, and heated oils,
coffee, fruit drinks, alcohol, and pop,

3. Stop Consuming Acid Creating Drinks and Hydrate Your Body With Alkaline Water.

One of the most important ways of promoting health is drinking enough alkaline water.

Start by reducing then eliminate habitual acid forming drinks such as alcohol, coffee, and pop. Hydrate your body with alkaline water. Aim for at least 2-3 litres a day to begin. Alkaline water serves to neutralize excess acids in your body and creates appropriate environment for your blood to perform its functions.

4. Exercise Appropriately

Regular and appropriate exercise is one of the best ways to prevent disease, promote health, and increase your vitality.

Over-exercising, under-exercising, or inappropriate exercising can increase your acids and cause increased risk of injuries. Three important aspects of exercise include aerobic exercise, stretching, and strength training (especially core strength).

Exercise enough so you sweat but avoid exercising to the point of pain or exhaustion. Dr. Young recommends appropriate exercises such as walking - long and fast enough to sweat, jogging, and exercising on a rebounder to exercise numerous body parts including your muscles, tendons, and bones.

Other beneficial exercises include yoga, pilates, stretching, and correct forms of weight training. In addition, deep breathing and massage helps by moving lymphatic fluids and release toxins. In his book "The pH Miracle For weight Loss: Balance Your Body Chemistry and Achieve Your Ideal Weight" he provides specifics about exercising appropriately.

Your health can profoundly impact every area of your life. Decide to begin transforming your health, one step at a time, and make a difference to your life and the lives of your loved one's.

Make note of the negative consequences of unhealthy lifestyle and positive benefits of health and vitality. Write down a compelling vision for your health regardless of where you are at right now. Remember the objective is not perfection but progress.

Set realistic goals and record your progress. Reward yourself when you make progress and evaluate what is working and what is not working, and make changes accordingly.

As you embark on journey towards phenomenal health make note of the way your symptoms are decreasing and how you are benefiting from better health. Initially, you may feel worse as your body craves acidic foods and releases toxins but in the long run you will experience the worthwhile benefits.

Write down your current baseline including your blood pressure cholesterol levels and so forth, so you can track your progress. Work with your physician, if needed, to note changes in your health.
