Halt Compulsive Aging
with the pH miracle diet

"DIET" usually means a struggle for weight loss to many people. Our society's constant focus on wrapping our movie stars in the rawhide and whale bone thinness mantle of perfection has equated this puny word "DIET" with ripping a few pounds off bodies that may be healthier with them on there. However, what the word "diet" really means is simply any food or drinks you put into your body.

Food and drinks coupled with choice has a profound impact on the nature of your overall health.  Gaining health, not losing weight, should be the primary purpose in choosing what food and drinks you consume. The pH miracle diet was dedicated to health in general in the original edition of the book. It focuses on many issues, including aging.

What does aging have to do with pH and acid/alkaline foods? Some experts contend that the reason we age has to do entirely with the amount of acidic foods that we eat. The theory is that we get older because we do not effectively get rid of the wastes and toxins that accumulated through our bodies.

We burn nutrients within our cells to get energy, maintain our body temperatures and get our bodies to function correctly. No matter what type of food you eat, vegetable or meat, acid or alkaline, gourmet food or junk food, they are composed of the same elements: carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.

In order to function correctly, the cells use these nutrients. They "oxidize" them or burn them up into natural acids: carbonic acids, uric acids, lactic acids and fatty acids. The cells expel these acids as waste into urine and sweat. When the body is functioning properly and in a balanced manner, these waste acids are no problem. The body can get rid of them quickly and easily, and you can maintain a normal pH of around 7.4.



However, the modern way of living has resulted in our bodies not being able to rid themselves of the acids correctly. Lack of sleep, lack of exercise, overwork, stress, smoking, pollution and high acid diets (heavy in meat and dairy products) all prevent our bodies from properly expelling these acids. There is too much acidic production from these lifestyle and diet factors, and the body simply cannot get rid of it.

Even worse, modern farming and food production practices are making foods more acidic than they used to be. Inorganic acid minerals like chlorine, phosphor and sulfur seep into meats, grains and root crops through soil, air quality and farming practices. We are consuming more inorganic acid minerals than ever before in the history of the world. All of this contributes to our body's inability to rid itself of acid.

Aging occurs because of the build up of acidic elements in the body. The pH miracle diet is a perfect counter-balance to our over-acidified lives that cause premature aging. Healthy cells naturally have a slightly alkaline pH level, and since acid and alkaline are chemical opposites, high acid levels will destroy a larger share of your cells.

In order to stop aging and reverse the affects of acidic damage of your cells, you must start alkalizing your diet, according to the principles set out in the pH miracle diet. You must help your body develop a better system to rid itself of the acid wastes. Then you must facilitate it in pulling old wastes out of your body.

The first step requires simply that you drink plenty of water, especially acid free alkaline water if you can get it. Some people hate drinking water.. Well, just drinking 4 glasses of alkaline water is more effective than drinking 8 glasses of regular water.

Water ionizers are available to help you create alkaline water in the comfort of your home. This kind of water will help flush out your system and get rid of the acid build up within it.

The pH miracle diet also encourages people to eat a higher percentage of food naturally alkaline in their preferred diet. Changing our diets to offer more alkalizing foods will help restore balance to the body and push the remaining acid waste build up out of the body. According to pH miracle diet fans, the results are a more youthful glow, more energy and a vast relief from some of the symptoms of aging, like arthritis.
