| Eat Right for Your pH
Type Eating For Your Body Chemistry It should come as no surprise that American women spend much of their lives on one weight-control diet after another, usually the latest fad diet. But these diets are just a set-up for failure. In fact, the success rate of maintaining a lower weight from fad dieting is less than 10 percent. We’ve all heard the expression you are what you eat. I have a slightly different spin on that idea. I believe you should eat for your body chemistry. By that I mean you need to eat the right foods to support your health, in the right amounts, if you want to be in nutritional balance. It’s about eating healthfully and being the right size for your body type rather than counting calories. If you are eating properly, and your body is in balance chemically, you will be at the right weight for you. To establish what foods are right for you, you have to evaluate your pH level and determine if you are overly acidic or more alkaline. Women who are overly acidic need more carbohydrates to feel their best, while those who tend toward the alkaline side need to eat more protein. Women who are able to readily maintain a healthy pH balance, which becomes more difficult as we get older, can eat a wide variety of foods from both sides of the spectrum. Learning where you fall on the metabolic continuum is the first step in picking a diet that’s perfect for you.
