NEWS FLASH: 6 out of 10 Americans are overweight and over
acidic!

Dr. Robert Young author of "The pH Miracle" has shown that fat
is actually an over-acidification problem. What does that mean?
The body creates fat cells to carry acids away from your vital
organs, so these acids literally don't choke your organs to
death. Fat is saving your life! Fat is actually a response from
the body to an alarming over-acidic condition.

Here are some aspects regarding pH you may find useful. The
body's pH is measured on a scale of 0 – 14. Midrange at 7 is
where the pH is balanced. Anything below 7 is acidic and a
state where your body does not function as designed. Above 7 is
called Alkaline. Alkaline is the state in which your body
thrives. Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment.

With that said: when you remove acid toxins from your body, you
will:

FLUSH Fat Fast resulting in easy weight loss
GAIN Muscle Mass
WATCH your skin glow
ENJOY maximum energy all day, everyday.

Here's how to rid your body of that over-acidic state:

Alkalizing Secret #1 -- Drink Pure Alkaline Water – lots of it!
Pure water meaning water that is filtered. At a minimum, you
should be drinking 7 ounces of water for every 10 lbs of your
body weight. So, if you weigh 130lbs, you need to drink a
minimum of 91 ounces of pure water (that's about 3 liters).
Pure water meaning water that is filtered – the finest choice
is an alkaline ionization unit (Jupiter is one of the finest on
the market). If you don't have this resource available,
distilled water is a great choice with reverse osmosis coming
next. Alkaline water means water with a pH over 7.5. Alkaline
water adds oxygen to your water and helps to neutralize acids.
A simple way to alkalize your water is with a dash of baking
soda. There are also wonderful alkalizing agents you can
purchase to buffer and alkalize the water.

(P.S. Avoid: coffee, black tea and sodas. – These drinks are
highly acidic and do not count towards your daily water intake)

Alkalizing Secret #2 --- Eat Celery…. This is one of the most
alkaline foods you can eat. It quickly neutralizes acids. Eat
it before, after or during a meal. Celery is so high in water
content that is also works as an excellent thirst quencher.
Celery is excellent for digestion.

Alkalizing Secret #3 Eat Green Salads – forget the cheese and
croutons! Always have a green salad on hand. Make a huge salad
every 3 days and keep it in your fridge to make it very easy to
alkalize your body. Some greens that have the highest water
content are: cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, celery, broccoli,
cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, carrots, and onions. A great
dressing would be cold pressed extra virgin olive oil with some
lemon juice and Braggs Amino Acids. Keep this in a bowl in your
fridge (tip: add cucumbers and tomatoes right before eating).
Eat a HUGE salad with every meal!

Alkalizing Secret #4 - Switch from cow's milk, to almond, soy,
or rice milk. Cows milk has shown to produce an abundance of
mucous in the human body. There are also few adults who can
metabolize the protein in cow's milk properly. This protein,
casein, is what a cow's metabolism needs for proper health, not
for a human beings health. Also note that most dairy cows are
injected with hormones such as the Bovine Growth Hormone to
increase their milk production. Many of these hormones have
potentially horrific side effects that can be passed on when
consumed. Almond, soy and or rice milk are excellent
alternatives to dairy. They are well worth trying out.

Alkalizing Secret #5 – Avoid artificial sweeteners! This
includes: NutraSweet, Sucralose, Aspartame, Saccharin…. Not
only are these acidic they also have other highly detrimental
effects on the nervous system and neurological disease.
Saccharin even tells you right on the package that it may cause
cancer.

There is one natural sugar substitute that has had no reported
side effects: Stevia.

Alkalizing Secret #6 - Eat a grapefruit in the morning wait 15
minutes before ingesting a carb or protein. Grapefruit, similar
to lemons, is also alkalizing when ingested. Some people believe
grapefruit to be a miracle fruit and I tend to support that
group. Grapefruits have a very high water content and are
highly alkalizing. Eat one first thing in the morning, and wait
15 minutes before eating a carbohydrate or protein (one or the
other – do not mix). (The 15-minute suggestion is in accordance
with proper food combining and allows your system to more easily
digest. This recommendation applies to eating any fruit – fruit
shouldn't be combined with any other food type. Once eaten,
wait 15 before consuming any other food type…ie: protein or
carbohydrate) .

Alkalizing Secret #7 - Eliminate consumption of red meat, pork,
lamb. Red meats, pork and lamb are highly acidic a very
low water content, not to mention being hard on the digestive
system. If you must have meat, opt for chicken or turkey. Fresh
wild fish is another excellent route to take.

Alkalizing Secret #8 - Reduce stress daily by adding yoga, tai
chi, meditation, and proper breathing. An additional factor
that adds to acidosis (acidic bodies) is stress. When the body
moves into stress mode the digestive system shuts down and
toxins cease to be eliminated. Thus the more toxins you keep in
your system, the more the body will store them away (acids) in
fat cells! Anything we can do to calm the mind/body will have a
huge impact on alkalizing the body.

Alkalizing Secret #9 - Drink a top quality super green
supplement. : Organic super greens are known to be some of the
most nutrient dense foods on the planet. They infuse the body
with easily absorbed vitamins, minerals, amino acids
chlorophyll, enzymes, phytonutients and alkaline salts that
help neutralize acids in the blood and tissues. There are
several I recommend on my website. www.transformitnow. com.

Alkalizing Secret #10 – Minimize/Avoid… . processed and refined
foods. That means anything made with white flour and white
sugar or food coloring. Our bodies were not designed to digest
these chemicals and so it must do one of three things: 1.
Eliminate them (if you are not hydrating properly this is very
hard to do) or 2. Neutralize them by pulling alkaline buffers
where it can – like from your bones leaching calcium, or from
your blood, leaching iron. Or: 3. Park them away (in fat
cells). Bottom line here – stay away from processed food as
much as possible.

In Summary: If you will start out by going down the list of
tips and add one secret each day, there's a tremendous
possibility that you will be amazed with what you experience.
Simply increasing the amount and type of water you drink can
and often will be a HUGE shift in how you feel. Let me tell you
– it only gets better! And remember…the name of the game is
progress not perfection. Be gentle with yourself – for many
people, these secrets represent a huge life change. I urge you
to educate yourself on pH balance with the acid/alkaline dance.
