pH And The Miracle Diet?
The pH Miracle diet it the latest and greatest diet on the horizon. Health experts are aware that new diets fade in and out of style. The 1990s saw the rise and fall of low-fat diets. The early 2000’s saw the rise and fall of low-carbohydrate diets such as The Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, Protein Power and Sugarbusters. People will attempt a new diet after failing with their current one. A new diet on the rise is the pH Miracle Diet.
The pH Miracle Diet offers relief from the low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets of the past few years. The diet approaches nutrition from a new way and was created by Robert Young. The diet is also known as the Young Diet or the Alkaline Diet. The new approach is looking at what the human body needs and balancing those needs. Nutritionists and Holisitic doctors agree with this approach.
A slight alkaline quality exhibits in the human body’s pH. Since our body functions this pH level, in theory, the foods we eat should also be alkaline. The foods we currently eat, such as sugar, animal protein, caffience and processed foods, are all acidic foods. These acidic foods unbalance the pH in our bodies and contribute to other health problems. Supporters of the pH Miracle diet will tell you that how our body deals with alkaline minerals is affected by the acidic foods we eat. These minerals are sodium, potasssium, magnesium and calcium to name a few, and can all play a role in chronic diseases.
The pH Miracle Diet revolves around this concept. Nutritionist and health nuts agree that anything a person puts into their body contributes to how a person feels and their overall health. Mainstream doctors will certainly advocate a well balanced diet that includes fruit, vegetables, proteins and dairy products; but the pH Miracle diet goes beyond this. The diet stresses how ingesting acidic foods will eliminate essential minerals from your body. By adhering to the pH Miracle diet, a person is not eating dangerous foods that can wreak havoc on their bodies.
The pH Miracle Diet avoids many common and popular foods. For instance, wheat and wheat products are prohibited on the diet. This may be surprising, because the FDA encourages us to eat whole wheat products as part of a healthy diet. But the pH Miracle Diet shows us that acidic grains like wheat, oats, millet and rice are dangerous. Alkaline grains, however, such as buckwheat, quinoa and spelt are beneficial to our bodies.
Diary products and meats are also not allowed on the pH Miracle Diet. Goat milk is slightly alkaline so you can have some of that. To get protein you can eat beans, tofu, nuts and seeds. Except for mushrooms, most vegetables are alkaline and are promoted. Grapefruit, coconut, lemon and lime are the only vegetables allowed.
Within the first few weeks of going on the pH Miracle Diet you will see positive effects on your health, according to people who have tried it. Reducing processed foods and adding vegetables to your diet is good for your health, whether you adhere to this diet or not. The pH Miracle Diet’s detractors that this is the problem with the diet. If you are already eating a fresh and balanced diet and ingesting enough water, following the diet won’t make a difference. But this theory does not account for the acid and alkaline in our bodies.
It is true that as of yet, there are no scientific findings to back up the theories of the pH Miracle Diet. Many traditional doctors will not support the diet either. The diet’s principles are founded on Chinese and holistic medicine dating back centuries. These principles are being studied now at Johns Hopkins University and by Dr. Neil Solomon with the United Nations. When the findings are released, critics of the pH Miracle Diet may have to assess their position on the diet and it’s scientific theory.
