About this listen
This expanded second edition provides the latest information on restoring your body’s acid-alkaline balance
- Discusses the role of enzyme supplements, prebiotic and probiotic complexes, and antioxidants in neutralizing and eliminating acids
- Addresses the relationship of proper hydration to essential enzyme activity and acid elimination
- Outlines a sample alkaline detoxification diet
Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body. As a result, they are afflicted with health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis. To enjoy optimum health, the body needs balanced quantities of alkaline and acid substances. In The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in vast improvements in health.
With two new chapters, this updated and expanded second edition provides the latest information on proper hydration and deacidification, important alkalizing supplements, and how to eliminate the body’s accumulated acids through intestinal cleansing. It also includes a new, detailed example of an alkaline detoxifying diet. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods based on their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods by their effect on the body, explaining that some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them. He describes how to determine your acid levels and how to design a diet best suited for your particular health needs.

Story
Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion—most of what we’re consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become.

Seeds, as well as grains and nuts, are the essence of many flowering plants’ reproduction. They are the basis of biodiversity on this planet, and as such are necessary for the continued existence of our world. Seeds, grains, and nuts are powerful food reserves encased inside a protective hard exterior. When consumed instead of being left to grow into another plant, they provide a number of significant benefits for animal and bird diets, including that of the human.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Time is running short: Discover how your “healthy” diet might be poisoning your body, and why you should act now. Fasting and plant-based diets have been linked to cell renewal, which opens up a world of possibilities when it comes to treating cancer and other chronic diseases. The fact that we buy medicine for every single thing that bothers us is a result of a decades-long marketing campaign conducted by the pharmaceutical industry. There are certain things the industry is not telling you, things that are crucial for your health and benefit.

You think you’re doing everything right. You switched to whole-grain varieties, you avoid red meat, and you only buy low-fat dairy products. Most nutritionists and dietary experts would congratulate you on doing a great job. But what they don’t know (or pretend to not know) is that such “healthy” diets may harm your body immensely and can cause a spectrum of inflammatory diseases.

There are a number of vitamins, minerals, plant components, and herbs that are beneficial to the immune system. Finding specific foods that boost the immune system can be complicated, because certain vitamins work best when taken with other vitamins. For instance, vitamin C, probably the most commonly recommended vitamin for infection resistance, works best when taken with calcium and magnesium. Calcium, among the other vital roles that it plays in the body, helps the cells absorb vitamin C and other nutrients more efficiently.

This book has everything you need but never found before. Most of us wasted our time, energy, and money trying workout plans, signing up for diet regimens—but all to no avail. Understand what is primarily important and ditch the nonsensical advice, the culture of consumerism with flashy advertisements, and ubiquitously brilliant colors brought to you. Never forget that habits make the human. And your diet is more or less a habit, a conscious decision that you take every day. What you eat reflects who you are as an individual.

If you don’t know the benefits of keto diet yet, this is a diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. By following a keto diet plan, you’re going to eat less carbohydrates and more fats that will be burned first. As for all types of diets, the more specific they are for the user, the more they will be effective. That’s the goal that Felicity Healthy wants to reach with Keto Diet for Women over 50 - the best and specific keto eating plan for women over 50 years old.

Narrator is slow
I had to read this in a week for a grad school class. It’s great info if you’ve never read it before, but the narrator was super slow and killed it. I normally listen on 2.5 I had to speed this one up to 3. I got my assignment done so four stars.
