Ever wonder why people get heavier as they age? Ever wonder why exercise never works unless you continue it for life? Ever wonder why kids are thinner than adults? All the crap out there all the foods, all the diets ,the Jenny Craigs, the Richard Simmons, the south beach diet and on and on never ending bs getting your dollars. There is no magic pill, there is no exercise, there is no special diet.Here is the best kept secret in the USA. This information is there but no one is shouting out, no one but me. The body maintains a 7.365 acid alkaline balance. When that balance gets a little more acid the body stores acids to keep the acids from affecting vital organs. The storage system the body uses is fat,water weight, and cholesterol to protect the body from acid. Cancer can not and will not exist in an alkaline body. There are many more details and much more information I can post but that is roughly the answer. The body gets alkalized by alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables and eliminating sugars,artificial sweeteners, meats,dairy, processed foods,alcohol, tobacco, and other highly acidic products.
