by Jakk Williamsonn The latest diet to hit the health world is the pH Miracle Diet. Different diets appear to come and go as noted by health experts. The low-fat diets were all the rage in the 90s. In the 21st century however, low-carbohydrate diets such as The South Beach Diet, The Atkins Diet, Sugarbusters and Protein Power all experienced popularity. When someone fails to lose weight after trying one diet, they will move on to the next diet. That next new diet 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. The human body has a bit of an alkaline pH. We know our body works at this pH, so it makes sense that any foods we ingest should also be slightly alkaline. Right now, most Americans ingest acidic foods, such as animal proteins, sugars, caffiene and other processed and packaged food. The acidity of these foods tamper with our body’s pH and cause problems in our body. The acidic foods change how our bodies handle alkaline minerals according to those who support the pH Miracle Diet. These minerals are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and can all correlate to 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. Many commons foods are prohibited

on the pH Miracle Diet. One such common food is wheat and wheat products. You may find this contradictory as the FDA recommends whole wheat products. But grains including wheat, oats, millet and rice are acidic and according to the pH Miracle diet are harmful to our bodies. There are alkaline grains and these include buckwheat, quinoa and spelt. These are good for our body. 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. According to people who have tried the pH Miracle diet, you will feel beneficial effects on your health within the first two to three weeks of starting the diet. Regardless of if you follow this specific diet, eating less processed foods and more vegetable is good for your health. This has actually been a criticism of the pH Miracle Diet. Those against this diet claim that for those who already eat healthy and drink a lot of water, no future gains can be had from the diet. They are not taking into account the balance of acid and alkaline in the body. There has not been scientific tests or published results yet on the principles behding the pH Miracle Diet. The conventional medical industry does not give much credence to the diet either. The science behind the diet relies on Chinese and holisitic medicine that have been practiced for several hundred years. Johns Hopkins University and Dr. Neil Solomon with the United Nations are both conducting research studies on the these principles. What their findings reveal may proof the critics of the pH Miracle Diet wrong. About the Author: After a long day of exercise, why not search for Mayan hammocks to relax and unwind in.
