Alkaline Food Diet (taken from eating-veggies.com)

When alkaline foods are eaten in abundance, they become the true nourishment needed to calm the unending urge to eat. When your body thinks that it is starving, it will conserve fat and began to signal the brain to activate your appetite. Veggies and fruit are full of the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that we need to live. And still we continue to eat the same acidic, lifeless foods everyday, slowly starving our bodies cells. And the body continues to store this food as fat everyday.

Many plant foods are anti-inflammatory foods, which means that they can help reduce the inflammation found throughout the body. Much inflammation is the result of a poor diet high in pro-inflammatory foods. Many alkaline foods are anti-inflammatory. Some researchers believe that inflammation is the root cause of most disease suffered by people in the modern world.

The cure for many sick and overweight people in the modern world may be an alkaline foods diet that contains live enzymes.

Eating cooked vegetables and other cooked alkaline foods is better than not eating any veggies at all but eating an abundance of living raw foods is the key to healthy living. The optimal strategy for good health is a 50-80% alkaline foods diet daily. Eating alkaline foods in their raw form is best for rejuvenating your body. Live enzymes are found in raw plant food. Enzymes are essential in building and maintaining health. These living microscopic structures are in all fresh, raw fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables and are necessary to help digest food when we eat it.

Digestive enzymes are used to break food down into its nutritional component parts so that our bodies can sort out the nutrients and utilize them throughout the body for repair and maintenance. However, cooking alkaline foods also destroys enzymes. While trying to digest cooked food, our body has to rob enzymes from our own enzyme reserves, ultimately depleting them and weakening our immune system and decreasing our ability to fight off unfriendly bacteria and viruses. What was once a living alkaline edible substance becomes totally dead very rapidly with exposure to high heat.

Eating mostly cooked acidic food every day is not helping to improve our health situation. Actually, it is beginning to age us very quickly. Today, doctor's are treating children for diabetes, juvenile arthritis and other degenerative diseases that used to afflict people in their older years. Almost all non-genetic diseases are a result of lack of digestion of raw, alkaline foods and improper elimination of the foods we eat. Plant foods that are high in fiber should become an important part of your diet. Some people go an entire day without an elimination and in most cases, this is not healthy. Eating processed, lifeless food stuffs in huge amounts every day is draining you of your life-force. Alkaline foods contain the life giving properties that we need to help pH balance.

In order to live long healthy lives, humans must eat plenty of living, alkaline foods at every meal. Enzymes are the life force of all people and can be found in raw, plant foods. If we do not eat enough enzymes, more digestive enzymes must be taken from our bodies own dwindling enzyme reserves. Over time our enzyme reserves are depleted and our immune systems become weak and acidic, which in turn leads to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and most non-genetic diseases known to man.

* Cooking destroys the enzymes we need to live and slow aging.
* COOKED FOOD is DEAD FOOD!
* Eating an abundance of nutrient dense foods such as green, leafy veggies can slow aging.
* Alkaline foods are needed to prevent the leaching of calcium from our bones and teeth.
* Enzymes are needed to help prevent body toxicity. (waste backup)
* Un-eliminated waste poisons the body and weakens our immune system.
* Acid-forming foods such as meat and dairy are aging us quickly!
* Our bodies prefer a slightly alkaline pH balance.
* We must eat meals rich in live, alkaline foods everyday.

Eating a plant-based, high alkaline food diet is best for the human race and the more plant foods you eat, the better you will probably feel. Alkaline foods are essential to a healthy lifestyle! Your body needs plant enzymes from green, alkaline foods to help regulate every biochemical and metabolic process in your body. Cooking food destroys the very force that keeps us alive and healthy. When eating to improve your pH balance, always eat a diet high in raw fruits and veggies.
