Database of diseases - Obesity and overweight

In planning everyday meals it is important to skilfully select products and their correct combination, including the balance of acidic foods and so-called. alkaline.for the symptoms of chronic acidification of the organism are: permanent tiredness, headaches, drowsiness, unpleasant smell from the mouth, apathy and metabolic disorders, which can cause overweight, hypertension, diabetes, kidney stones, atherosclerosis ...


Of particular importance in the development of many disorders of health and diseases is the so-called visceral fat tissue. Obesity initiates such diseases as: diabetes, hypertension and lipid disorders, spine diseases and many more. That is why it is worth taking the trouble of rational weight loss!



Foods that we eat include acidic or alkaline.

Food products act on the acidifying or alkalizing system - depending on the acid and base-forming elements contained in them, therefore the composition of the diet affects the acid-base economy of the body.

The diet generally acidifies the body

Most of the foods consumed by conventionally have an excess of acidifying ingredients, which is why we are more likely to be acidifying the body than with alkalosis.

What are the symptoms of acidifying diet?

The symptoms of chronic acidification of the body are: permanent tiredness, headache, drowsiness, unpleasant smell from the mouth, apathy and metabolic disorders, which can cause overweight, hypertension, diabetes, kidney stones, atherosclerosis ...

Meanwhile, the human body requires that there be an acid-alkaline balance in it

In other words, the reaction of bodily fluids and urine should be closest to pH = 7.
The more acid becomes acidic, e.g. after prolonged physical activity or eating acid-bearing meals, the greater the excess of free oxygen radicals that threaten our health in the body. Therefore, it is assumed that all body fluids (in addition to the stomach) should be alkaline - while the correct diet should contain 75% of alkaline products and only 25% of acidic ones.

The health benefits of acid-base balance

Restoration and maintenance of the acid-base balance has an extremely beneficial effect on the course of many biochemical processes occurring in the body, in particular on maintaining stable homeostasis. This promotes regular, correct operation of individual internal organs, especially the liver, kidneys, heart and brain, as well as the entire immune system.

Examples of acid and alkaline food groups

silage, eg cabbage, cucumbers, beets

green vegetables, e.g. lettuce, broccoli

bee honey, e.g. honeydew or multi-flower honey

Dietary recommendation:

It is necessary to combine / consume products from both groups in one meal. For example, to eat a portion of meat or a sandwich with smoked meat, eat a portion of vegetables.
