How does an alkaline diet work?
Food consumed by man directly affects the state of the body. Getting into the digestive tract, it is broken down and absorbed by the body, having a direct impact on the composition of the blood. So, dairy products form an acidic environment, but vegetables and fruits - alkaline. It has long been proven that acidity adversely affects the overall health of a person. That is why, in order to neutralize acidity, to prevent oxidative processes, it is necessary to eat as much as possible alkaline foods. Due to this, the body is cleaned, restored and rehabilitated.
