STRUGGLING WITH YOUR HIGH ALKALINE FOODS DIET

 As a young man growing up in the deep south, eating foods that are considered unhealthy is sort of a fact of life. I mean, we deep fry everything in the south: okra, catfish, whole turkeys, Twinkies, snicker bars and pretty much any animal that can't crawl fast enough and hide. Fried chicken with mac and cheese is a favorite of mine and it's flavor is embedded deep in my psyche. This presents problems for me as i continue this ongoing project of overhauling my diet in favor of a much healthier foods.

 Focusing on eating foods that have an alkaline pH is one of the best ways to optimize your diet and melt away body fat. It seems that all of the "sin" foods are acid in nature, which is fine if you indulge occasionally. I guess that's my point: if you eat a diet of 50-80% alkaline foods, you can eat a few sinful delights everyday! So once or twice a month i can eat my fried chicken dinner or take my daughter to the local ice cream shop and share a banana split. But the satisfying feeling of knowing that i had a few pieces of fruit for breakfast and a large salad full of alkaline vegetables and fruit for lunch or a plate full of veggies for dinner makes me feel even better. Eating like this will make me lose more fat and keep me healthy for a long time to come! EAT YOUR ALKALINE FOODS EVERYDAY

OVERWEIGHT TEENS COULD BENEFIT FROM HIGH ALKALINE DIET

 I was at the local high school enrolling my daughter when i couldn't help but notice the size of the teen girls walking the hallway. I mean these girls were FAT! Of course this didn't apply to all the girls but definitely MOST of them. And there were more fat girls thean there were fat boys, which says to me that there is a diet AND exercise problem among teen girls. This is the starting point of future Diabetes problems.

 We need to find a way to begin educating our youth of the future problems that will arise if they continue eat the way they presently do. I don't mean more goverment programs. The private sector, meaning BIG Business has a responsibility here as do churches and any good parents who want the best for their children. Refined starches are keeping our kids fat and we are raising future diabetes patients. It is time to become accountable for this epidemic.

 Eating whole foods such as veggies and fruits is the foundation of any good, healthy diet and is an effective way to fight diabetes, heart disease, cancer and obesity. Teaching the health benefits of eating 50-80% of our diet in the form of alkaline foods can help turn this problem around immediately. We cannot assume that our children will learn to eat correctly on their own or that other parents will teach their kids. It becomes the community's responsibility to end this problem because if we don't, Big Business will continue to reap profits at our health's expense! Reap the benefits of a high alkaline foods diet
