Well, since the beginning of time actually. Some people may think that the alkaline diet is just another fad diet, but nothing could be further from the truth. Our stone age ancestors, also known as hunter gatherers, lived on a diet consisting of largely the fruits and vegetables that they could gather up, and smaller amounts of meat obtained from hunting. A natural alkaline forming diet. This diet was rich in minerals, a key factor in maintaining alkaline balance. It's only with the advent of modern food processing, increased consumption of sugar and artificial sweeteners, greater reliance on grains and an overall increase in junk food that has swung the pendulum to the acid side of the scale. I personally focus on a more natural diet, truly fit for human beings. The benefits are clear enough to me, increased energy, mental clarity and a loss of nagging health problems.
The alkaline diet has become more and more popular in recent years. Dr Robert O. Young has been instrumental in boosting the popularity of the diet with the release of his book, The pH Miracle, Balance Your Diet Reclaim Your Health. Several other books are now available including, The Acid Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, by Christopher Vasey, N.D. as well as, The Alkaline Balance Diet, An Innovative Program for Ridding Your Body of Acidic Wastes, by Felicia Dury Kliment. |
