With alkaline diet, the body can easily flush out toxins and waste
products. Harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi won't easily thrive. In
other words, the body can heal on its own with nothing but alkaline
diet.
Consuming an acidic diet on the other hand militates against the
natural design of the body. The acidity weighs the body down from trying
to function optimally. Obesity, heart disease, and cancer are three
common effects of accumulated acids in the body.
Linda Churchill, a mom of two, grew up eating meat and loving it. She
saw no harm with it since the school and the media advertises it. She
was steadily gaining weight over the years and she considered it a
natural occurrence. She thought it was because she had had two children.
Besides, she sees the gaining-weight phenomenon almost with everyone
she knows. Wheezing at the slightest physical activity made her visit
her doctor. Her doctor advised her to lose some weight. "How do I lose weight naturally without losing my cash savings? was the first question I asked myself," she shared.
"Money is a big issue when you have growing kids," Ms. Churchill added.
Fortunately, her doctor introduced her to the concept of alkaline
diet.
Since it does not involve spending extra, she gave it a go. The
noticeable changes after just 2 weeks of following the alkaline diet
came as a pleasant surprise to Ms. Churchill.
Now, she's implementing it to her two kids too who coincidentally began
performing better in their school after following the alkaline diet.
Dr. Jason Park, a respected physician, explains this as a natural
phenomenon of the body. "Following an alkaline diet is simply being kind
to your body. You provide the food that is preferred by the body," Dr.
Park explained.
"When a body is already provided with alkaline foods, it doesn't have
to work so hard in maintaining the slightly alkaline ideal pH of the
blood. In other words, the body can work on other things like flushing
out toxins and repairing tissues. The sad thing is, alkaline diet is not
known to everyone."
Coffee: An effective weight loss tool
Can coffee play a role in helping people to lose weight and reduce the
risk of adult-onset diabetes? That seems to be the case, according to a
number of studies reported in medical journals.
One clinical study published in the scientific French review
Phytothérapie demonstrated fat-reducing effects of a green (non-roasted)
coffee bean extract. One group of volunteers was given 400 mg of a
decaffeinated green coffee extract daily, and the second group received a
placebo. After 60 days of supplementation, participants who received
the green coffee extract had lost 5.7 percent of their initial weight.
By contrast, the group that received a placebo had lost 2.8 percent of
their initial weight.
While this study does not show the kind of rapid weight loss touted by
many diet fads, it does point to a steady decrease in weight as a
result of the use of green coffee extract. Furthermore, since the
extract was decaffeinated, the weight loss does not appear to be due to a
calorie-burning effect noted with caffeine.
Coffee, one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world,
contains a plethora of naturally-occurring compounds, including several
classes of antioxidants. Coffee is already known to be a preventive
factor against mild depression, Parkinson's disease, and colon and
rectal cancers. Now it appears that compounds in coffee also help to
regulate blood glucose, reduce fat production, and enable steady weight
loss.
The compounds responsible for the weight-controlling effects of coffee
are antioxidants known collectively as the chlorogenic acids. These
acids appear to slow the production of glucose in the body after a
meal, by modifying the activity of certain enzymes in the liver.
Additionally, the chlorogenic acids cause a more slow and sustained
release of glucose into the body after eating, thereby reducing the
production of new fat cells.
This process sheds favorable light on the practice of drinking an
espresso after a meal. Espresso, made by steam expressing finely ground
coffee, is rich in flavor and aroma and chlorogenic acids, but not very
concentrated at all in caffeine. Drinking an espresso after eating
causes a suppression of glucose production and release, in addition to
causing the body to produce more gastric juices, which aids digestion.
Furthermore, coffee also appears to act as a preventive factor in type 2
diabetes. In one Harvard University in the journal Annals of Internal
Medicine, researchers found that drinking coffee daily reduces the risk
of the disease. In another study reported in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, researchers from Amsterdam concluded that
regular coffee consumption is associated with considerably lower risk
of developing type 2 diabetes. And yet another study conducted in the
Netherlands showed a direct connection between coffee consumption and
lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
What conclusions can we draw from this work? For a start, coffee with
lots of cream and sugar will do little to control weight or prevent
diabetes, due to the load of calories in such a beverage. But black
coffee, espresso, coffee with a small amount of milk, or a green coffee
bean supplement all appear to support weight reduction and lower rates
of diabetes. In the studies cited above, decaffeinated coffee and
caffeinated coffee alike worked equally well.
Just as it has been discovered over the past few years that coffee
provides significant antioxidant protection, it now appears that coffee
consumption may play a valuable role in fighting epidemic obesity and
high rates of diabetes. These studies suggest that drinking coffee daily
and enjoying an espresso after a meal may provide significant benefits
to health.
