Alkaline acid diets are not a new concept but it is starting to become more widely known for a number of health benefits that people in our fast paced, instant fix world desperately crave! The benefits are many but can be traced back to a few core concepts: The human body is naturally more alkaline than acidic with a pH level slightly above the neutral 7 mark.
Many foods we now consume and have been consuming for centuries are products of technology that our ancestor's bodies never had.
These new foods send our body and blood to a more acidic level which causes many health problems by eating away at tissue, overloading our immune system and poisoning our bodies.
The alkaline acid diet is designed so than you can change your polluted body to one that is cleaner and functioning more optimally and some of the benefits people who undertake this change in nutrition are:

• More Energy - By reliving the body of the burdens of detoxifying itself and fighting off other illnesses caused by and acidic body you will free up more energy.
  The food you consume in this diet also releases more energy that can be used than more acidic foods too.
  
• Boosted Immune System - A more efficient and well greased immune system can be gained by a natural alkaline body which has many knock on effects.
  You fight off colds and flues better as well as many other germs and bugs.
  Immune system related diseases of the skin can also be reversed such as eczema, psoriasis and so forth.
  
• Weight Loss - I am not a huge fan of using this diet as a catalyst for weight loss only because so many people are looking for a quick fix.
  However this diet does help with weight loss as the sugars that are a prime cause of additional fat are largely removed and increased fiber and roughage help to break down those that are already there even if your calorie consumption does not vary as much.
