The premise of an alkaline diet is that the nutrients found in supplements,
alkalizing foods, and water can bring the body back to balance.

These vitamins, minerals, and herbs infuse the body with new energy, vitality and better health.
Alkaline foods and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients the body
needs to neutralise acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, tissues, and cells.


When pH balance inside the body is ‘out of balance’ the body tries to correct that
sensitive pH balance. That process shows up as uncomfortable symptoms,
including colds, allergies, diseases, viruses, and bacteria.
When the pH level in our body is unbalanced, almost any area of the body can be
affected. For example when the nervous system is affected as the result of
unbalanced pH balance it shows up in the form of depression. When the
cardiovascular system is affected we could have heart disease or experience other
heart-related problems, including thickening and hardening of the arteries,
coronary heart disease, pain or discomfort in the chest, stroke, high blood pressure,
and heart failure. When muscles are affected we often feel fatigue and lack of
energy. When skin is affected by improper pH balance we age quicker than
normal.

When the body’s pH level is in balance, the body reaches ideal weight and corrects
negative health challenges naturally.
Transition to a more alkaline healthy diet requires a shift in attitude towards food.
The important point to remember is that small changes go a long way. Add more
alkaline foods to your diet gradually.
