GET OFF YOUR ACID

With alkaline recipes, this health transforming book looks at the four-letter word that's secretly destroying your health - ACID. It causes inflammation and is the culprit behind many of our current ailments from weight gain to chronic disease and cancer. The good news is that health visionary Dr Daryl Gioffre shares his revolutionary plan to rid your diet of highly acidic foods, alkalise your body and balance your pH. An acidic lifestyle includes consuming foods such as sugar, grains, dairy, excess animal proteins, processed food, artificial sweeteners, along with lack of exercise and proper hydration - and stress. They all cause inflammation. The plan outlined in the book in seven steps and seven days will help you gain more energy, strengthen your immune system, diminish pain and acid reflux, improve digestion, focus and sleep and lose excess weight and bloating naturally. Taking minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium bicarbonate is a fast way to neutralise acid so that your body doesn't need to do it all on its own. Alkaline minerals are also very calming to the nervous system and will put your body into a deeper REM sleep when it needs it most. With recipes for easy, delicious snacks and meals like Apple Cabbage Salad with Beetroot, Spiced Cold Tomato Ginger Soup and Savoury Avocado Wraps among them, all about dietary, metabolic, emotional and environmental acids, there are also quizzes to help you test your levels, much about breathing, saunas, kidney stones, limiting net carbs, how dairy is scary and much more. 284pp in very large softback.
