Aside from the ever present high blood pressure problem, diabetes seems to be the curse that ravages the north American population. It is common (especially in the African American community) to see someone in a wheelchair with a lower leg amputated due to diabetes. There are millions of people walking the street right now who don't have a clue that they have developed diabetes and will allow the problem to get worse due to lack of knowledge and the "that can't happen to me" attitude. I guess the constant bombardment of advertising selling refined starches, hyper-sweetened food products and alcohol is making a lot of money for the Big Medicine companies at the expense of the lives of the American people.
Eating a diet high in alkaline foods will help keep your blood sugar levels lower due to the fact that these foods are low glycemic and very nutritious. Besides providing your body with minerals and phytonutrients, these foods will encourage your body to burn your own body fat as fuel. Remember to eat over half your daily food intake in the form of alkaline foods to fight disease, viruses and obesity. You will feel much more energy and move lighter on your feet as your body begins to return to its natural state of existence.
The human body works most efficiently in state of low blood sugar. Not so low that you pass out, just enough carbohydrates as you need to burn as energy over the course of the day. Try spreading your meals out as several small meals instead of gorging on food once or twice a day. We cannot expect to keep our health at its best when we continue to wolf down deep-fried potatoes, doughnuts and sugar-laden breakfast cereals while washing down fast food lunches with 32 oz soft drinks. The effect that all those refined starches and sugars have on your cardiovascular system compile over time and the damage is hard to reverse. The answer is to slow the damage NOW by cutting WAY back on those high sugar drinks and eating wheat products that are 100% WHOLE wheat (or 100% whole grain). Beat diabetes with a diet of 50-80% alkaline foods

ReplyDeleteIndeed alkaline acid diets is the diet that we should follow. It is a diet where we should eat 75-80% of alkaline foods and 20-25% of acid foods. However, this ratio varies from person to person. But, overall to maintain good health, you should eat 60% of alkaline forming foods and 40% of acid forming foods.
