There are those who think that alkaline diets don’t matter, but alkaline diet also means “Whole Foods Plant Based Diets”… they are one and the same.
Lots of Veggies is the Key to Health
Some alkaline diets still have animal protein in them, but animal protein creates acid… and because of that they are not true alkaline diets.
Having an alkaline system leads to less inflammation and studies show that inflammation is one of the major causes of disease.
Eating a Whole Foods Alkaline Diet means the following:
Cancer – Whole Foods Alkaline Diets have a much lower chance of coming down with cancer. See the movie “Forks Over Knives” you can watch it for free on-line if you google it.

Disease – And those who eat plant based diets have less disease in general… even up to 40% less in some studies.
Dr. John Furhman says – “Multiple studies have shown that vegetarians live longer than non-vegetarians do. The research shows those who avoid meat and dairy have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, which are the leading causes of death in America.”
Inflammation – Whole Foods Alkaline Diets are anti-inflammatory and thus help to keep away heart disease, strokes, cancer and just about all diseases in general including arthritis, autoimmune disease, and much more.
Obesity – Whole Foods Alkaline Diets have been confirmed to control obesity and thus preventing metabolic syndrome and prolonging life.

Diabetes – Studies show that Whole Foods Alkaline Diets prevent diabetes and also metabolic syndrome which causes disease. Check out “Simply Raw” on youtube it shows how eating a raw plant based diet cures diabetes.
Many doctors eat plant based diets… in fact Dr. Neal Barnard is a vegetarian and a leading proponent of a plant-based diet.

Diets high in animal protein or even veggie protein is not good for the kidneys… and that’s why the 5 or 6 percent low protein Whole Foods Alkaline Diet is great for the kidneys. The average Western diet full of lots of animal protein can do extensive damage to our kidneys.
Dr. John Mcdougall a specialist in diet and kidney health says the following – “The human body needs no more than 5% of the calories consumed to be from protein in order to build all cell structures, enzymes and hormones; once these needs are met then the excess must be excreted from the body. The typical Western diet, focused as it is on meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products, is loaded with protein; as a result, many people consume a diet with 30% or more of the calories from protein.”

More Calcium – Lots of people think they need lots of calcium and that’s right… but most people don’t know that most of the calcium in milk is not absorbed. But calcium from plants like brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and other green veggies is absorbable, in fact 3 times more absorbable… thus you get a lots of calcium from green veggies.
Iron – Iron is important but from plant based sources that don’t cause health problems. Did you know that chai seeds contain 2.4 times the amount of iron found in beef? It’s True! Plants have lots of iron – 100 grams of spinach has the same amount of iron as a 100 grams of beef.
Protein – The USDA says we need at least 20% protein in our diet, but studies show that we only need 5 or 6% protein in our diet… and that’s exactly what a person gets from a Whole Foods Alkaline Diet. All that excess protein causes cancer and kidney disease.
