The acid-alkaline balance of your body has a strong impact on how energetic you feel and your health. Some people are naturally more alkaline, and have apparently endless source of energy no matter how much energy they consume and are slim no matter how bad they eat. The acid-alkaline balance is expressed in pH, with a 7 being neutral, below 7 acidic, and above 7 alkaline. In optimal health, the human body’s blood is in a slight alkaline state, with a ph of 7.4.
The prevailing Western lifestyle and food intake is very acidic, which causes both a feeling of low energy and a breakdown of the body, sooner or later. Want to be full of energy, feel good and be healthy instead? Read our prior blog article on alkaline foods to restore a healthy balance in your body.
That article was a basic general primer.
Now I’d like to introduce this follow-on article on alkaline foods and alkaline lifestyle that is a bit more specific. It’s written by Dr. Robert Young ans is called ‘The Top Ten Causes of Death Can Be Prevented’:
“There is a lot you can do to decrease your risk of many of the major acidic causes of death in the US. An alkaline lifestyle and diet and at least 1 hour of exercise a day can increase 15 to 20 years to your life and prevent all sickness, dis-ease and most accidents.
Top 10 Preventions
Here are the top ten preventable deaths in the USA (together with their prevention):
1. Heart Disease
* % of Deaths: 27
* Prevention Methods: maintain the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. This includes eating and drinking more chlorophyll, oil, alkaline water, mineral salts and exercising at least one hour daily.
2. Cancer

3. Stroke
* % of Deaths: 6
* Prevention Methods: maintain the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. This includes eating and drinking more chlorophyll, oil, alkaline water, mineral salts and exercising at least one hour daily.
4. Chronic lower respiratory disease
* % of Deaths: 5
* Prevention Methods: maintain the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. This includes eating and drinking more chlorophyll, oil, alkaline water, mineral salts and exercising at least one hour daily.
5. Accidents
* % of Deaths: 4.5 (motor vehicles accidents: 2%)

6. Diabetes

7. Alzheimer’s disease

8. Influenza and pneumonia

14.6% of all mortality in the US is from other causes which are related to acidic lifestyle and dietary choices.
Sickness and disease is not something you get or catch, it is something you do. You don’t get cancer you do cancer with your lifestyle and dietary choices. For example, if you smoke you are doing lung cancer. If you drink alcohol you are doing liver and/or kidney disease. If you eat pure acid like sugar and/or animal protein you are doing diabetes or bowel cancer. The top ten killers in the US are ALL caused by personal dietary and lifestyle choice.”
