DiseaseAfter centuries of significant societal changes, a trend towards less physical activity and the ascent of fast-food marketing, the Western World now faces more dietary-based health challenges than ever before. With the rise of consumption of unhealthy foods – such as sugars, saturated fats and oils – the rate of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and a host of other diseases has increased proportionately. At the same time, there is a trend towards eating less fresh vegetables and fruit so essential for a balanced diet. This – coupled with the consumption of fast foods and other unhealthy elements – inevitably leads to the accumulation of excess acid in the body.
Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones, kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates and sulfates. These acidic waste products have been linked to premature aging and the onset of chronic disease. Japanese researchers have established an association between degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cardiac disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, indigestion and osteoporosis and the accumulation of acids. The same researchers also observed a relationship between common complaints - such as migraines, back pain, constipation, high cholesterol levels and obesity – excessive acid accumulation in the body.
