Over-Acidity: The Underlying Cause of Disease

Our bodies were designed to be healthy, slender, energetic and well. We were intended to have smooth, supple skin and a quick, alert mind. Why, instead are so many people overweight, tired, sluggish and sick?

Robert O. Young, Ph.D. has authored several books on the effect of over-acidification of the body as the single underlying cause of all disease. He says, "When the fish is sick, change the water." Dr. Young has found that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, pathogens are unable to get a foothold. According to his philosophy called New Biology, all disease is caused by an acidic body. If you alkalize your body through proper eating and healthy living, you can overcome disease and reach your ideal body weight.

The first part of alkalizing the body is to eat more alkalizing foods. Most vegetables have an alkalizing effect. Green vegetables tend to be the best. Making sure to eat alkalizing foods with every meal, will assuredly create an alkaline body.

The second part of alkalizing your body is to reduce the amount of acidic foods you eat. Sugary and processed foods are usually acidic. Saturated fats, meats, and dairy products also have an acidic effect on the body.

Dr. Robert Young posts regularly on his blog.

Starting to alkalize the body, will release stored toxins. Some people may feel sick when toxins are released in the system. This will pass once they are eliminated. Drinking lots of water helps flush from the body system.

Colon hydrotherapy can effectively assist the body in efficiently removing toxic waste. Colonics are like opening the window of your house when the dust gets stirred up while cleaning.
