It is no secret that many food products have a positive effect on our body, while others, on the contrary, have a negative effect. But how do you determine which ones are useful and which are not?
An interesting fact is that some products are alkaline, while others are oxidizing. Hence, the different effects of products on the human body follow. Acid destroys, and alkali suppresses it.
Why is the optimal ratio of acid and alkali in the body so important? Yes, all because the excess of one of the components of the acid-base balance leads to a significant failure in the human body, a sharp decrease in immunity, leads to the development of various diseases. So, for example, with increased acidity (acidosis), calcium, magnesium and other minerals are very poorly absorbed, as a result of which fragility of bones begins to develop, and weight gain occurs.
First of all, a powerful blow of excess acid falls on the gastrointestinal tract, heart and kidneys suffer. Also, at the same time, you can notice excessive mucus secretion, weakness, nervous excitement. In this regard, food products are divided into groups depending on their belonging to an acid-base environment.
The group of alkaline products includes: all fatty types of fish, nuts, watermelons, lemon, sesame seeds, young potatoes, lentils, buckwheat, peas, zucchini, carrots, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, etc.
The group of oxidizing products includes all types of dairy products, sweets, fatty animal oils, alcoholic beverages, poultry and animal meat, baked goods, etc. How, in this case, to eat properly? Indeed, unfortunately, foods that oxidize the body cannot be completely eradicated from the diet. There is only one answer - to reconsider your diet in favor of alkaline foods. Better yet, stick to the alkaline diet, which is based on an 80/20 food ratio. This means that only 20% of the diet should be oxidizing foods, and the rest should be alkaline.
Such nutrition allows you to put blood counts in order, cleanse the intestines, and normalize the liver. It is - an indispensable guarantee of excellent health.
In recent years, the alkaline diet has been gaining more and more popularity among healthy lifestyle advocates. And some nutritionists generally believe that an alkaline diet is not a diet as such, but a healthy way of eating, aimed specifically not at certain restrictions, but at improving the body. By the way, the alkaline diet is a powerful weapon in the fight against obesity. However, you should not use it for people suffering from alkalosis, renal failure and other diseases. In any case, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
