The following is an interesting presentation about the effects of pH values in food and their impacts on the body. One fact I found especially noteworthy was the link of diet soda to weight gain! It is suggested that this
relationship exists because the soda contains phosphoric acid. This chemical directly impacts iodine levels,
a major component in the healthy functioning of the thyroid gland (in charge of metabolism). To hear more, go to: http://www.wimp.com/dietsoda/
I am neither a doctor nor nutritionist, so I am unable to substantiate these claims with my own expertise. However, the suggested regimen is congruent with those being recommended by doctors and nutritionists alike. Focus primarily on unprocessed fruits and vegetables, and be sure to manage your stress levels. This information gives further validation that the food from the garden is the best ally in attaining and maintaining a healthy weight.
