Lose weight by controlling the level of acid in your body!

I thought you might be interested in this article written by Alderin Ordell.

In order to lose weight effectively you have to be mindful of how much acid you consume. The body creates fat in order to trap and neutralize acid. So, if your diet consists of lots of meats, grains, tea, coffee, soft drinks and even acidic water, your body needs fat in order to stay alive! You won’t lose weight like you want no matter how much you work out!

If you’re like most people trying to lose weight, you’ve reduced your portion size or reduced calories – but if the food is acidic this only partially decreases acid intake, and your body still needs the fat. Some people work out at a gym three times a week only to find out they’re not losing weight like they want. Exercise increases the production of acids, such as lactic acid. And if you’re drinking acidic water or sports beverages while you work out, you are consuming lots of acid, so your body still needs the fat.

According to Dr. Young author of The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, the only way to lose weight effectively is to consume alkaline foods and beverages, such as vegetables and many fruits, lentils, potatoes, peas, cashews, etc, to balance out your body’s acid. You should eat 80% alkaline foods to 20% acidic foods.

The most important thing you consume is water because your body is 80% water and the water you consume is directly responsible for the quality of the tissue your body creates.

Almost all your bottled waters, filtered waters, and your tap water are acidic and harmful. Natural water, like the water from a spring or glacial stream is alkaline. The only way to make your water natural and alkaline again is through the use of a water ionizer.

When you drink alkaline, ionized water the acidity built up in your cells is neutralized, and your body no longer needs the fat cells for storage. Also, the antioxidants in the ionized water clean out the toxins in your body so that it runs more efficiently.

The best combination for weight loss is an alkaline diet featuring lots of ionized water, moderate exercise and stress management.

A healthy, non acidic body will return to its ideal weight naturally. You don’t have to suffer with too much exercise, or try to trick the weight away with a fad diet like Atkins. All you have to do is be mindful of your acid intake, balance it will alkaline foods and water, and your body will gladly shed all that extra storage it has created.
