Many fad diets ignore your body´s fundamental physiological makeup and can put you at a higher risk for health problems later on. Weight loss is not really the issue, eating healthy is. If you eat properly, losing excess body weight will occur as a natural result. At the Soup & Salad Club, we have reviewed and tested over one hundred different diet and health programs and have included in our program only those elements that contribute to both short and long-term health.
It is important to understand that there are only two food groups that create the good alkaline environment within your body. They are fresh fruit and vegetables. Notice the word fresh. If you cook (steaming is okay) or dry fresh fruit or vegetables, they become acidic, and no longer provide the alkaline benefits to the body. Processed sugar is almost completely acidic, which explains why it is so detrimental to your health. Eliminating as much processed sugar from your diet as possible should be a high priority. Replace it with an alkaline-based sweetener like Xylitol or Erythritol which are major tools for not only restoring a healthy pH balance, but are effective disease inhibitors as well.
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables makes good sense for another reason too. Our bodies are made up of approximately 80% water. Isn´t it reasonable to eat more foods that have a high water content like fruits and vegetables? Meat, which is acidic, is considered a “compressed food” or a food that is not rich in water. To eat more sensibly, consume only one compressed food at each meal.
Eating water-rich foods has still another benefit as well. They help hydrate the body. In fact, they do a better job of giving your body the water it needs better than drinking multiple glasses of water each day. Remember the lymph system we mentioned earlier? Water rich foods also aid the lymph system in flushing out body waste.
