Obesity in America is at an all-time high according to research released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Just look around, the evidence is everywhere! Almost 70% of the country is overweight and the numbers are rising. The number of fat kids walking the malls is increasing at an alarming rate. Fat parents teaching their fat children how to eat in the same disgusting way that they have learned to eat means that this problem is not going away any time soon.
Betwen the poor excuse that they call school "lunch" and the processed stuff that they eat at home, most kids are destined to be overweight and diabetic. Exercise and a lot of veggies is one sure way to beat this and should be part of your children's daily activity. For that matter, the parents of these kids should consider doing things outdoors with their children several days a week. Make exercise a family event and beat obesity and diabetes.

FIGHTING DIABETES WITH A HIGH ALKALINE FOODS DIET
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

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

HIGH SODIUM MEALS KILL!
If you are of African or Hispanic descent then you have to take the sodium issue more seriously than what you already do. With the microwave oven now a couple of generations old, many people feel that frozen foods is the way to prepare a meal. Most frozen food dinners are loaded with half the sodium that is recommended for an entire day. With everyone in such a rush for time, it may seem logical to work these time-savers into your schedule but at what risk. Your families health has to mean more.
Take time to cook your own meals at home using spices and whole foods. Your family will appreciate a home cooked meal without the health risks of fast food. A high alkaline foods diet is one way to get nutritious veggies and fruits inside your body without all the sodium processed sugars and trans fats found in fast foods. The big food companies say that all that sodium makes the food taste better but it's just not ethical to risk a person's health in the name of profits! GET HEALTHY WITH ALKALINE FOODS DIET

MELT YOUR EXCESS FAT
Eating a diet high in alkaline foods is an effective way to keep off those extra pounds if you have been struggling with some other plan that does not work. Many people give up on trying to lose weight when plan after plan fails on them yet this is not a time for dieting gimmicks. You need a plan that works well for the 21st century lifestyle yet gives your body the nutrition it needs to deal with daily stress.
A diet high in alkaline foods melts off body fat when eaten at the right time of day and when substituted for the calorie dense starches we eat in abundance. Unless you are an athlete in training, you should consider not eating much refined wheat, rice and potatoes from your diet. Eat more whole foods such as veggies and fruits to give your body what it really needs to fight off disease and extra body fat. MELT FAT WITH ALKALINE FOODS

TEEN OBESITY LEADS TO EARLY FEMALE PUBERTY
I wish i could quote you the exact study that this information comes from but i heard it while watching one of the local morning shows (FOX 5, Good Day Atlanta!). There is a direct link to teen obesity and early puberty among girls in America. African-American girls seem to suffer far worse while whites and Hispanics lagged behind.
There seems to be a problem with the diet of these teens that is throwing their body out of hormonal balance and the problem may begin with what kids are eating at home. Learning proper eating habits in respect to your own health is not being taught anymore as many parents were feed the same garbage while growing up. It is just to easy to toss something into the microwave and have a highly processed starch and high sodium meals in minutes.
Replacing these fiberless, high sodium foods with an abundance of alkaline fruits and veggies is the most effective way of optimizing health and drop extra pounds without going on some kind of extreme diet. All that sodium and refined starches will only make fat, hypertensive and diabetic. You will burn fat naturally if you eat a diet of 50-80% alkaline foods daily. Teaching our children to eat healthy at home is the only way that they will learn the correct way to feed their body! Burn Body Fat with a High Alkaline Foods Diet

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
