Product Description
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 bodys 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 bodyas 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. This is the first complete acid/alkaline food guide to include todays modern diet. It will quickly become the first resource to turn to when preparing meals or ordering food.

 Unravelling the mystery of a healthy diet December 25, 2008

Are you as confused as I am about what constitutes an ideal diet? Susan E. Brown's book provided just enough information to address my questions about how the acid-alkaline factor in the foods we eat affect our bodies and how the information she presents was actually determined.
Through the book, I learned that a typical American diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, sugars and caffeine leave acid residues in our bodies that contribute to aging and many chronic health issues. I learned the old remedies we use to combat "acid indigestion" (bland foods and Tums) are counter-productive and why. I learned the "alkaline" foods that can help us achieve an optimum neutral acid-alkaline balance are primarily fruits and vegetables that surprisingly include items like citrus fruit.
The list of foods are categorized in a way that makes them easy to reference in a book thin enough to carry in a purse or notebook. I read the book in a couple of hours and began my nutritional experiment before the holidays. I recommend this book as a useful reference to anyone interested in making a long-term commitment to improving diet and health.

this is one of the best books i have read on understanding the importance of acid alkaline balance inside the body. The author doesn't overwhelm you with information, and puts everything in easy to understand terms. I especially love the last section of the book, which lists hundreds of foods and whether they are acid or alkaline forming inside the body.
I have learned alot from this book. I thought orange juice was acidic since it was citrus, however, inside the body it yields alkaline. Another good one is that table salt is very acidic, yet sea salt is alkaline. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants to learn the right types of food to eat to make sure you body is always in a slightly alkaline state.
