The Acid-Alkaline Food
Guide
A Quick Reference to Foods & Their
Effect on pH Levels by Susan Brown,
PhD and Larry
Trivieri, Jr.
Over the last five years, there has been an explosion of
bestselling acid/alkaline based diets. These have ranged from weight loss to
diabetes management. While hundreds of thousands of people have gone on this
diet that balances the pH level of your body, they have had to put up with the
limited food guides contained in each book. Now, health experts Dr. Susan Brown
and Larry Trivieri have created a complete resource for people wanting to widen
their food choices. The Acid/Alkaline Food Guide offers dieters an
easy-to-follow guide to the most common foods that influence your body's pH
levels.
The book begins by explaining what the acid/alkaline of your
body has to do with the acid/alkaline influence of foods. It then explains how
the pH of foods, once eaten, may change in your body--as citric acid fruits,
once digested, become alkaline. As complicated as this process is, the authors
provide the guidelines for the analysis of the foods covered in the book. This
section is then followed by a listing of thousands of foods and their
acid/alkaline ranges. Included are insets and groups that can help the reader
better direct their food searches.
