The Complete Idiot's Guide to the pH Balance Diet

The Complete Idiot's Guide to the pH Balance Diet is a guide for readers who are suffering from symptoms that may be caused by an unbalanced pH level in their blood. Healthy human blood is slightly alkaline, and the theory behind the pH balance diet is that an acid-producing diet (that includes lots of grains, meats, sugar, and dairy) is the cause of a number of chronic diseases, debilitating symptoms, and weight gain. It is believed that by balancing blood pH through a diet of alkaline-producing foods, the body's natural equilibrium can be restored and negative symptoms and conditions can be reversed. Readers will learn from a comprehensive food list what alkaline foods are right for them and how, through a program of meal plans and delicious, healthy recipes, they can bring their natural pH levels back into balance and restore their health.
