12 Reasons to Eat an Alkaline Forming Diet

12 Reasons to Eat an Alkaline Forming Diet - Reasons #3 & 4

3) An Acid Formng diet Robs Us of Energy! When your body is in an acidic state more often than not, it will begin to leach alkaline minerals from our bones, muscles and other tissues to ensure that the blood maintains its delicate alkaline balance. This removal of alkaline minerals (particularly calcium) inhibits efficient and effective cellular and body metabolism - making us sluggish, tired and cloudy. In a Nutshell - over acidification drains our bodies of energy and inhibits the body’s ability to use stored energy reserves.

And as if that was not enough - with the leaching of calcium from our bones, Osteoporosis very often follows.

4) Causes Allergies: A diet that is highly acid forming puts a lot of strain on the digestive system, which in turn strains the immune system - leading to it being constantly overworked and stimulated into response mode. The result of this is a heightened sensitivity to nutrition and chemicals, or what is more commonly known as an allergy. Excess mucus, soreness, swelling, eczema, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, hives etc are all ways that the body responds to toxins & attempts to eliminate them.
