Your body pH — a measure of acidity or alkalinity — plays a key role in your health because overly acidic or overly alkaline conditions can stop your enzymes from working properly, essentially stopping cellular function. This is the basis for the alkaline diet.
The alkaline diet is an eating plan often used to enhance health.
With an emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruits, it's based on the idea that after all foods are digested and absorbed, they reach the kidneys as either acid-forming or base-forming compounds.
Proponents of the alkaline diet suggest that a diet high in acid-producing foods disrupts the blood's normal pH level and, in turn, triggers the loss of essential minerals (such as calcium) as the body attempts to restore equilibrium.
This imbalance is said to increase susceptibility to illness.
Why do people follow an alkaline diet?
Not only thought to improve health, the alkaline diet is said to preserve muscle mass, slow the aging process and protect against a variety of health problems, ranging from headaches and the common cold to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney stones, and osteoporosis.
Proponents also claim that the alkaline diet can boost energy levels and help with weight loss.
