The pH Miracle Diet Basic Idea
May 20th, 2009
The hip new diet on the market is the pH Miracle diet. Health experts have seen that new diets tend to rise and fall in popularity. For instance, the diets of the 1990’s fixated on low-fat and the diets after the turn of the century were all fixated on low-carbohydrates. The Atkins diet, South Beach diet, Protein Power and Sugarbusters all revolved around low-carbohydrates. When a diet stops working, or the results someone wants are not achieved, they will usually turn to another diet. The pH Miracle Diet offers a new approach to dieting.
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’s pH is somewhat alkaline. Our body operates at this pH so it is a good assumption that any foods we take in should also be somewhat alkaline. Most Americans eat somewhat acidic foods, such as animal proteins, sugars, caffeine and other processed food. These acidic foods wreak havoc on our body’s pH levels and can lead to other problems. According to the pH Miracle diet, the acidic foods tamper with how the body uses alkaline minerals. Minerals such as sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. Tampering with these levels can contribute to chronic diseases within our bodies.
This is the lynchpin of the pH Miracle Diet. The nutrition and health industry understands that the overall health of our body is affected by what a person ingests. While mainstream doctors as a whole promote well balanced diets including fruit, vegetables, meats and dairy; the pH miracle diet doesn’t stop there. The diet shows how eating acidic foods will steal minerals that your body needs. Followers of the pH Miracle Diet are saying no to foods that can harm their bodies and their lives.
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.
The pH Miracle Diet also restricts all meats and dairy products. The exception is goat milk due to it’s slight alkaline quality. You can load up on protein in the form of beans, nuts, tofu and seeds. Alkaline foods include most vegetables except for mushrooms. Fruits that are allowed are grapefruit, coconut, lemon and lime.
Positive changes to your health are felt within the first few weeks, as noted by those who have begun the pH Miracle Diet. It is good for your body’s health to cut down on processed foods and increase the amount of vegetables you eat, whichever diet you follow. In fact, critics of the pH Miracle Diet claim if you are already eating health fresh foods and drinking and adequate amount of water then starting the diet will not benefit you further. But these critics are not looking at the aspect of balancing acid and alkaline levels.
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.
