Recently alkaline diet has become extremely popular. Firstly, because it moves the masses first Hollywood beauties, and, secondly, as they say, "practice", it really works. Let's see what the "so" and that "wrong" with the "alkaline" diet.
1. pH-diet - heals and cleanses
Having come to our country from America, this diet has quickly found its fans. It has its main goal - to cleanse the body after eating or prolonged malnutrition. The essence of the diet - the food a person should be brought closer to its natural pH level. The fact that the average level of the "alkali" in our small blood - 7.40. Therefore, the power must be conformed to this concentration of pH. That is the amount of "alkaline" products should prevail over "acidic" food. Products with an acidic medium and increase the level of acidity in our bodies, and this, according to experts, is harmful to our health and figure.
2. What makes this diet?
Care extra pounds and extra inches - it's not all that is capable of an alkaline diet. It improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, has a beneficial effect on the skin and even elevates mood, making you a lifelong optimist. The main thing to remember that the smaller part of your kitchen should be products of animal origin, and more - the plant. In a ratio of about 4: 6. Moreover, plant foods should be consumed raw or with a small heat treatment. This, of course, for vegetables and fruits instead of pasta and cereals. An alkaline diet can not move sharply. The main thing - gradually. About a month before the two-week training course. If you've read that the "stars" are sitting on this diet for life, it does not mean that you should follow their example. Alkaline diet is good as a way of unloading, and not as a way of life.
3. Who should stick to this diet
We have already said that the pH-diet is good as unloading. It also does not hurt those who decided to lose a little, who lack energy. People, something bothered, annoyed, nervous, this diet can be very useful. Basically, eating fruits and vegetables in large quantities is always a beneficial effect on the nervous system. Stress or depression - eat foods from the garden. Other reasons for the alkaline diet include nasal congestion, frequent colds, immune failure and ovarian cysts.
4. Who should not
Medics can confidently say that the alkaline diet is not a "way out" for people with heart disease and acute or chronic renal failure. The fact that the pH-diet affects the level of potassium in the body. Excess potassium negative for people with kidney problem, and a deficiency of this element is dangerous for the cores. Of course, it is not necessary to practice this diet for pregnant and nursing, children and adolescents. You have to be careful, and those who are not accustomed to such an abundance of fiber. Your digestion will take time to configure to "kletchatochnyh-carb" wave.

For example, cucumber and bell pepper, carrots and lettuce, peas and yellow tomatoes. In between meals you need to drink a lot. Permission is granted: water, juices, fruit drinks, herbal teas, broths, infusions. Excludes: alcohol. But after 18.30 you can not drink nothing but herbal tea without sugar naturally. Of course, should know in advance that an alkali (useful) products, and that - to acidifying (harmful in our case).
6. "Alkaline" products
Deconstructing atoms products, we must understand that the acidic foods and eating sour taste is not the same thing. Say lemon - is an alkaline product, though it tastes and Kiesel. Grapefruit, limes, apricots, apples, pears, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, garlic, ginger, onions, beets. All the greens of parsley and dill to arugula and iceberg. Exotic - papaya, avocado, mango and nuts - almonds, pecans, walnuts. Other pH-products include: cereals - brown rice, buckwheat, cereals, seeds - sunflower, sesame, pumpkin. If broths are excluded from alkaline diet, the vegetable - a straight road. Alkaline broth is not difficult to prepare. In addition, it can be frozen, so he was always at your fingertips. Simple recipe is as follows: cut the vegetables into small pieces 1 small zucchini (courgette), 2 cups sweet potatoes, celery 3 cups 2 cups broccoli, spinach 2 cups. All this boil in 2 liters of water. After boiling, make a fire and keep quiet about half an hour. Then remove and drain. The broth is ready. Cooling may be stored in a refrigerator until 3 days.
7. "acid-forming" foods
Red meat - pork, lamb and beef fat, poultry meat - duck, goose. Processed cereals - rice and oats without shell, oat and cornflakes and so on. All the high-grade baking, is the bread made with white flour, yeast products, soda, sweets, including chocolate milk, coffee, tea, fast food.
Serious research in the field of pH-diet was not conducted. Therefore, official medicine skeptical silent, while noting its beneficial side. However, no doctor would argue that vegetables and fruits, especially with minimal thermal treatment, harmful to health. Experts also can not claim 100% that this diet completely relieve a person from weight problems. Of course, this requires avoiding harmful habits and serious physical activity.
