Why Alkaline diet??
Alkaline diet is the best way to detox our body effectively and regularly .
Alkaline diet is the powerful tool for alkalizing the body and balancing the pH of our internal environment.
Alkaline diet is the answer for many diseases like Arthritis,Autoimmune diseases, Respiratory diseases,Hypertension, Fatty liver etc .
Lets get started by understanding little about pH
pH is the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution and a scale that measures acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
pH of human blood is maintained between 7.35 to 7.45(on the alkaline side)
Everything on the earth from enzyme kinetics,photosynthesis,aquatic life and many more is affected by the ph concentration.
All the body organs especially liver and kidneys perform to maintain a constant internal environment and keep the balance
PH BALANCE CONTROLS BODY'S SELF HEALING BY MAINTAINING A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR ITS REPAIR AND IMMUNE SYSTEM
How does wrong eating habits and acidic pH ruins our system?
