The latest diet to hit the health world is the pH Miracle Diet. Different diets appear to come and go as noted by health experts. The low-fat diets were all the rage in the 90s. In the 21st century however, low-carbohydrate diets such as The South Beach Diet, The Atkins Diet, Sugarbusters and Protein Power all experienced popularity. When someone fails to lose weight after trying one diet, they will move on to the next diet. That next new diet is the pH Miracle Diet.

The pH Miracle Diet offers relief from the low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets of the past few years. The diet approaches nutrition from a new way and was created by Robert Young. The diet is also known as the Young Diet or the Alkaline Diet. The new approach is looking at what the human body needs and balancing those needs. Nutritionists and Holisitic doctors agree with this approach.

The human body has a bit of an alkaline pH. We know our body works at this pH, so it makes sense that any foods we ingest should also be slightly alkaline. Right now, most Americans ingest acidic foods, such as animal proteins, sugars, caffiene and other processed and packaged food. The acidity of these foods tamper with our body’s pH and cause problems in our body. The acidic foods change how our bodies handle alkaline minerals according to those who support the pH Miracle Diet. These minerals are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and can all correlate to chronic diseases.

This is the lynchpin of the pH Miracle Diet. The nutrition and health industry understands that the overall health of our body is affected by what a person ingests. While mainstream doctors as a whole promote well balanced diets including fruit, vegetables, meats and dairy; the pH miracle diet doesn’t stop there. The diet shows how eating acidic foods will steal minerals that your body needs. Followers of the pH Miracle Diet are saying no to foods that can harm their bodies and their lives.

A lot of common foods are not allowed on the pH Miracle diet. Wheat and wheat products are a banned food prouct on the diet. You are probably wondering why as many, including the FDA, consider whole wheat products to be healthy. The pH Miracle Diet shows that grains such as wheat, oats, rice and millet are actually acidic and are harmful to our bodies. Only alkaline grains such as buckwheat, quinoa and spelt are encouraged.

All meats and diary products are also probitied on the pH Miracle Diet. Goat milk, however, is ok as it is slightly alkaline. Other protein sources can be found in beans, tofu, nuts and seeds. Most vegetables, except mushrooms, are also encouraged because they are alkaline. Fruits that are acceptable are coconut, grapefruit, lemon and lime.

Positive changes to your health are felt within the first few weeks, as noted by those who have begun the pH Miracle Diet. It is good for your body’s health to cut down on processed foods and increase the amount of vegetables you eat, whichever diet you follow. In fact, critics of the pH Miracle Diet claim if you are already eating health fresh foods and drinking and adequate amount of water then starting the diet will not benefit you further. But these critics are not looking at the aspect of balancing acid and alkaline levels.

There are no concrete scientific testing results on the pH Miracle Diet and many mainstream medical doctors do not see any advantages to the diet. The theories behind the diet are rooted in holisitic and Chinese medicine that have existed for hundreds of years. These principles are being tested right now at the Johns Hopkins’ University and by Dr. Neil Solomon of the United Nations. The results from these may cause critics of the pH Miracle Diet to eat their words.
