Alkaline Dieting | The Truth about PH Diets - Thomas DeLauer:
Playing up on our body's pH has allowed a lot of people to make millions of dollars talking about their various diet plans, but let me tell you something right at the beginning of this video. Your body's pH needs to be between 7.3, and 7.45, we're not going to change our body's pH, so an alkaline diet, or an acidic diet, is not really a true thing, but I want to help you understand what is going on in the body.
All right, let's talk about pH for a second. PH stands for the power of hydrogen, all it really is, is how effective the hydrogen is within your body. If we have a pH that is lower than seven, then we're technically acidic, if we have a pH that's a little bit higher than seven, then we're technically alkaline, or basic. Now, our bodies are designed to operate between 7.3, and 7.45, and nothing outside of that.
If we are outside of that range, we begin to die, our cells do not function there, so where does all this stuff come in when we talk about the alkaline diet, or our bodies being too acidic, and in a diseased state, and all this stuff? Well, it all has to do with people having good intentions, and also money driven intentions, but let's just say that it's just good intentions for the sake of this video, okay? When it comes down to the pH, we think that foods can affect it, but really, there's just a little bit of remnants that actually ever have any impact in our body whatsoever.
You see, when we consume foods that are too acidic, there is an acid ash that remains after the food is digested, and when we consume foods that are alkaline, or more basic, there is an alkaline, or basic ash that is left over. Think about it like this, whenever you burn wood in a fireplace, there's an ash that's left over, okay? Well, that same kind fo ash applies to food that's undigested, so we have a little bit of an excess acid ash, or a little bit of an excess alkaline ash, and that's where all these alkaline base diets come into play.
They always say that, "Okay, you leave this ash, and it's going to change your body's pH." Well, it can't really change your body's pH, because if your blood pH changes, you would die, but where things get a little bit funky, is when we start looking at urine pH. Here's the thing, a lot of those say, that if you go on an alkaline diet, and you utilize a urine strip to test your pH, that you'll be able to tell that your body is more alkaline, or more acidic, and therefore prove to you whether your healthy, or unhealthy.
The thing is, the urine is a terrible way to measure this, because the urine is how your body regulates your pH. If your body is to alkaline, your body's going to excrete alkaline components to try to get you in balance. If your body's too acidic, then your body is going to excrete acidic components to get you in balance. Remember, I can't overemphasize this enough, our bodies need to be in that 7.3, to 7.45 range, so it's really interesting in how the body does this. It has to do with what's called the acid-base homeostasis, and I'll get to that in just a second.
The fact is, your urine will change, and that's how your body regulates it, but what about the blood? The blood will not change, when we eat alkaline foods, it does not change our blood pH. When we eat acidic foods, it does not change our blood pH. Again, 7.3, to 7.45, but what does end up happening, is our bodies have to digest this, and sometimes that can put an extra strain on the body, which can allow a little bit of a fluctuation between that 7.3, and 7.4 range, which is truly a negligible amount to really change anything going on within the body.
This acid-base homeostasis that I talked about before, that's the process where the kidneys regulate all of this. You see the kidneys do their very best to make sure that our body's pH stays within that respective range.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who watches my videos and stays so engaged. Honestly, you all are like a second family to me.
I create a lot of content not just because it's good for business, but because I truly like to put information out there. Sometimes the content is in a different vein than you're interested in, but I promise you will always receive good value regardless.
Onward and Upward!
Because of your videos i get to learn all this amazing stuff..and then pass this knowledge to more..so thank you sir!!👨✈️
Need help!! My protein have 535mg of sodium in a scoop( MyFitFuel PeaProteinIsolate) what should i do? Because it is exceeding my sodium intake i guess?
Thank you so much, The information you provide is very interesting, and quality! I always watch your new videos, it helps me know more knowledge, especially keto diet.
Thomas, you always give first class advice along with the research to back it up! Thank You!
Hey Thomas, hope you read this. First,
Acidosis? I had severe Arthritis and was only able to take 6 inch long steps and was declared disabled by my Doctor. I had two vertebra's spontaneously fuse together and was facing a final destination of a Wheel Chair. Finally I did a 3 day PH test, three times a day (from my saliva and urine) My Ph was 4.6 and that is/was very acid, so my Doctor missed the Acidosis part. So then I started taking baths in about 2 pounds of Soda and the first time I did this my Ph went up (overnight) to a Ph of 8, so I backed off a bit and monitored and kept my Ph at about 7 Ph and after a few weeks I was ale to take full steps/strides. That was 20 years ago and I am still doing good at near 72 years of age. Now of course I eat plenty of fresh vegetables and my Ph is ever so stable.
@Deco Electra I’ve already replied to your other bogus comment no point in reciting the same shit again 😂
My story: I've been doing 20/4 for 6 months with a monthly 48hr fast. I've dropped the fat, 40lbs of it. When I started, I couldn't do a pull-up...and 3 push-ups was a struggle. Now I do 3 sets of 6-8 pull-ups or chin-ups and 4 sets of 12 deep push ups. I lift as heavy as I can. I push to failure in my HIIT routine. I started running again for the first time in 20 years. Oh, by the way, I'm 49. I will turn 50 in better shape and looking and feeling younger than I was at 35. I used to be an athlete in my 20's. An avid mountain biker and climber. I injured my spine in my late 20's and I lay on a sofa for 20 years. I would call my comeback a miracle. - Your vids have contributed to the wealth of information and motivation I sought to keep going. I want to thank you for that! And to the folks who comment about their struggles and successes.. tremendous help also! Thank you, guys! You helped me change my life! You probably helped me save my life.
Thomas. I’m a brain injury survivor. The first week I was in ketosis I started walking. It’s like my body doesn’t want to work as well not being in ketosis. Thank you for all of your informative videos!
Ketosis really does save lives in cases like this. Good for u
Omg i am so proud of you!!! You are right 100%% thanks for not spreading the rumors that some celebrities and “trainers” are spreading.... simply not true
Thanks for the clarification. My mom has been big into buying the PH water and I hadn't been able to do the research. SO FREAKIN' GLAD that you are so reliable! Thank you for all your doing.
Unnatural alkaline ph isnt the way. Your mom is on the right track I believe.
@@dylanrathbun8084 body ph is the same amongst every individual… (blood and gut) it’s like that for a reason now! Food has negligible impact on body ph.
Extremely clear and clearly well researched. Your physiology and knowledge are inspiring in a most useful way.
I am so glad you discuss this. Because with Keto diet...I have noticed they list cofee and avocado as acidic food/drink...Now it does not matter...I have lost 5 kg in 3 weeks with IF and keto eggs avocado diet...Cofee helps a lot for my IF...I am down 15%bf and getting ripped faster...Cant wait to hit 12% and feel better all out in my gym routine. Thanks to you Thomas. You give amazing informations always!
What he doesn’t know is that acidic food stresses out the c reactive protein in the body. When c reactive protein cells are stressed they can create cancer, cardiovascular disease over time from the body working to much. It’s kinda a reap what you sow type of deal. Even acidic foods here and there can give negative effects after 30+ years of eating it. Cuz it stressing your c reactive protein cells to much. It kinda like when you damage tissue in your body you can’t repair that unless you have stem cell surgery. Only if the tissue is damaged enough. But alkaline foods keep the body in its original state and keep you from getting sick or viruses.
@Deco Electra you’re the arrogant one. You physically can’t change it; well you can… if you want to welcome death to your door. It’s tightly regulated for a reason. The medical term for an imbalance of bodily ph is referred to ‘alkalosis’ or ‘acidosis’ both of these conditions can/ will lead to death if not treated in time.
Funny enough the simple consumption of foods be it acidic or alkaline won’t cause those problems… why? Because they have a negligible impact on overall body ph. Because it’s tightly regulated by our body and if any change was to occur (the main consensus of the diet) you would in fact die! Anecdotal evidence is not evidence that can be shown to prove something to others btw!
So why do all medically qualified doctors say this body PH nonsense is all utter BS snake oil? Arrogance doesn’t come into it, it’s a medical fact. When people talk about this subject, check whether they are actual qualified medical doctors. CHECK it because a lot of these people talking about this are “doctors” in chiropracting or another non medical quack-qualification designed to help sell you something. A simple way to check is that actual respected medical doctors don’t produce a line of vitamins or a paid diet plan or pdf which they sell to the public.
@Deco Electra this is most definitely not fact
@Deco Electra of course it varies a little bit. Once you get outside a tight range of 7.14 to 7.2 or whatever you got problems
@Deco Electra agreed.
Thank you for the citations. Stay motivated.
Good information, thanks for sharing
Thanks for telling it like it is and saving us a lot of money. 😊

Acidic or alkaline foods reduce or increase the need for the body to compensate.
Let’s say the body is compensating for acididy. Carbonic acid will be exhaled. However carbonic acid is needed in the body. If it get’s too low at a given time symptoms such as hyperventilation set in. Hence the benefit of foods that do not agravate this effect. The body has more (secundary) mechanisms of pH compensation.
Inflammation acidifies the body due to the leucocyte’s catabolic enzymes. That is why people with chronic inflammatory diseases benefit from alkaline diets.
If a person only eats such alkaline foods, the opposite can occur at certain point with symptoms such as difficulty inhaling.
Since the carbonic acid/bicarbonate system is the most immediate pH compensation mechanism in the body, a good ideia would be to consume water rich in this mineral in a fasted state (because bicarbonate buffers stomach acid).
that's not how it works....what you eat doesn't affect any of the mechanisms of pH regulation in your blood and cells....your stomach might secrete more acid when you eat alkaline food but that's about it.....
Mr Delayed, I enjoy your videos.I've put some of your techniques into practice and they have generally worked.I wish you would apply some of your work towards type 1 diabetes.I believe you could have a significant impact on many people's lives I think you could save lives.May God bless you,ya big look.
Great informative video!

Abdulmoiz Ayyaz thank you so much for tuning in! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
The body different pHs in different locations e.g. stomach, small intestine, colon, bladder, blood, lymph and skin. Changes and imbalance in the digestive system can affect microbiome and impair digestion. Eating natural whole foods allows the body to maintain homeostasis.
You just saved me a couple of hundred bucks. Thank you 🙏
Great message :-)
He mentioned several times throughout the video that the body automatically balances the pH in the blood. So wouldn't it make sense to eat a more alkaline diet so is that the body doesn't have to work as hard to do this and should therefore boost energy levels?
This is exactly the point of an alkaline diet.
Well that doesn't make much sense either. Following that logic, your body would become too alkaline and you'd have to eat acidic foods to rebalance your internal environment. The point is that your body *naturally* regulates it's pH levels and unless you're diabetic, the foods you eat make an extremely small impact on your overall pH.
In short, the pH of your foods isn't the important component if your diet that you should be monitoring.
@Deco Electra So to recap: I'm wrong and arrogant because I trust bodies of research, established theory and advice from biomedical scientists and clinicians more than you?
Okay.
@Deco Electra scientifically proven that the gut and blood ph barely/ does not change from food. It is tightly regulated and for good reason; if it was to change ever so slightly you would die. Your anecdotal research is laughable because anyone knows that, that has no basis in scientific grounds. Nice try though!
@@ohthethings yes, cmon now common sense is that you trust anecdotal evidence over everything else. I’m sure they were testing their blood ph levels and stomach ph levels… just so fucking sure 😂🧢
Hey Thomas, just wanted to thank you for the amazing content you put regularly. Been following you since you had around 50k subs.
So happy to see your channel grow. Thanks again for educating us. Love from India.
Spot on! Kidney failure is partly the failure to regulate ions, ionic exchange and hormones that regulate blood pressure. Urine is waste this it tells u what is being excreted- erythropoietin production and absorption is also a function of the kidneys. Diabetic keto acidosis is another example of ph imbalance.
Awesome as usual 🤗
Oceanic Blues thank you for watching!!
ACV/acetic acid vs. malic acid question....
I always hear you talk about acetic acid when you bring up ACV. What about the malic acid ?
I've heard of reports/studies noting anti-cancer properties. Is this something you've researched at all? Would love to hear your view on this :-)
Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you sir very helpful
I have a condition called gout. My uric acid level in the blood is too high. I am disappointed that this video says that the pH of blood remains the Same regardless of what you eat yet people with gout are strongly encouraged to eat an alkaline diet. Are you saying that all these medical studies about uric acid in the blood and how to reduce it is untrue? Most people who suffer from gout are put on allopurinol which reduces the body's production of uric acid. It would be great if you could address this issue.
Learned something new here :)
Only subscribed recently to your channel and found some good info. Water fasting for one.
Have you done one on Plant based diet? So much out there about the healing effects, reversing some illnesses. I’d be interested to hear your views.
Thank you.
I've felt like it's my DUTY to refute the "gurus" espousing ACV to adjust pH.
I quote that range regularly ffs...
ACV for Insulin maybe.
Good points!
Jim McIntyre thank you for watching!
There is no "Fixed" Ph for "the body". There's a whole range of fluid Phs levels - blood, stomach, intestine, kidneys, etc. (e.g. upper gut needs more acid to sterilize out the bioorganisms o specialize it for meat/fat digestion; lower gut needs a more mild Ph to support the microorganisms that ferment the carbs).
All we can directly alter is the stomach Ph - use Betaine HCL or ACV. The body does the rest to set Ph in other areas as it needs to for proper signaling and function and immune system to fight diseases and foreign organisms. .
The ph of the lymphatic system changes where you become stiff and it slows down your detox /sewage system throughout the whole body. Your lymph system is important and with too much acid it slows down the clean up.
Finally some sense 🙏
Aisling Donohoe no sense....actually ignorance.
Except the stomach of course, where it fluctuates quite a bit, like when eating compared to fasting.?
thomas can you please explain what kind of water should we be drinking and is alkaline water safe?
If you’re ill it helps to keep your food balanced, then your body doesn’t have to work as hard to balance things out.
Love the Sponge Bob references!
gotta absorb all this information as spongebob would right babe?
I loved the cartoon you put in
Good video .
Darryl Stone thanks for watching!
I don’t think it’s about changing your ph - it’s about digesting foods that agree with your ph so you feel better. As a long time sufferer of acid reflux, I can say that getting in more alkaline foods has vastly helped me. 80% alkaline and 20% acidic.
What your opinions on alkaline foods for chronic gastritis with Intestinal Metaplasia ?
Not our body, but our blood is desing to function in pH between 7.35-7.45 :) Our cells have slightly acidic pH due to metabolic reactions which inside them.
Every food will produce acid byproducts during metabolism, because they're organic compounds... Alkaline diet is fad. Your urine can change several times during a day. So is that mean Your body pH change several times during a day? Urine is not for measuring "body pH".
If You want to know how our body regulates acid-alkaline check Henderson-Hasselbalch equation which explains how our buffers works. BTW our buffers are inexhaustible so You can't knock Your blood from it's proper pH in most situations and especially not because of food You're eating.
Too much alkaline compounds in blood is called alkalosis.
What’s your opinion on the carnivore diet being championed by Shawn Baker and Mikhaela Peterson?
Yes! Science!
I've been curious about this for so long. Thanks for enlightening
Hey don’t listen to this video the natural system our bodies have is not designed for carbonation, alcohol, refined sugars , meat and dairy every day, etc etc
PS I’ve gone 100% anti inflammatory with wonderful results and I’m not selling anything
OMG I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Unless you’re shredded out and so healthy all your friends resent you then do whatever you want
@@kabbythedog9409 "hey don't listen to this video listen to me I know everything "
@@rebeccaanne8546 well, I’m waiting for you to enlighten me
@@rebeccaanne8546 within the first 20 seconds this guy is contradicting doctors, a “balanced”diet is and alkaline diet I hate to use this reference but Tom Brady diet
Performance oriented whether you have a specific health problem or not
Excellent
Interstitial pH and blood pH are two very different things. The lungs and kidneys regulate the blood 7.35 to 7.45 and should always be within that range unless you have a medical condition disrupting it. That being said being at the higher range (by eating a more alkaline diet) increases oxygen carrying capacity and a host of other benefits.
While you’re not completely wrong there are definite parts of this video that are incorrect.
TaninhoDD look up oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. It explains oxygenation and acidity.
You're so right! Blood pH is regulated within the body and needs to stay within that narrow range 7.3 - 7.4. But that does not mean your urine Ph tested with a strip need to fit within that tight range. Super misleading video!
Agree buddy, ph is so hypersensitive that little change is big … power of hydrogen being important as hydrogen is negatively charged 🙄🙄 everyone poo poos blood health
Good morning Thomas, been keto for about 3 weeks. One question I’ve always had is will cold brew coffee take me out of intermittent fasting? Some coffees say they have 25 calories and some carbs. I always get unsweetened ones.info greatly appreciated
No black coffee won’t.
You left out metabolic acidosis....
As a former athlete 15 years ago, I suffered from metabolic acidosis by too much exercising, I could recognize the symptoms by the constant hyperventilating, (among others)....You can also see this with people who exercise too much....when they talk, they seem to run out of breath very easily.......
I used to drink bicarbonate soda, 1 tablespoon to remedy this back then....sometimes it would work but other times it did not....I also at that time went on the alkaline diet....for months, can't remember for how long....but there was very little improvement (the symptoms did not disappear) in my condition....Overall, the best solution for metabolic acidosis is to STOP training....There are other symptoms associated with Metabolic acidosis, but the hyperventilating is the hallmark symptom….
One of my favorites, cheers you
Boa Boy cheers to him being wrong on many points?
Hey Thomas, great informative video. Can you do a video on 'Blood Type' and what diets are best for different blood types? Thanks.
There’s no such thing as a blood-type based diet
@@HenryPaulThe3rdthere is a blood type based diet. I had a book about it. However, that does not mean it works or does anything the other diets don't do. I am just saying there are published works out there on this topic, so some people may believe it is a valid diet.
I am SO sick of the lies and misinformation out there! I am glad I can watch Thomas's videos and hear the science behind the claims or disproving the theories!
can you do a video on acne plz
This is one of the few scientifically sound episodes of this show, unlike the ones where naturopaths tell is "not to trust doctors" (DB Weiss).
Thomas, do you recommend taking natural nootropics everyday, or is this bad long term?
Eric Knable That might not a good ideia. The body get’s used to nootropics, hence the dose has too be increased, which can chronically oxidized the affected tissues, preventing them from recovering. Dying, that is.
An exceptional case might be when you do not notice a tolerance over time. This might indicate the body can recover fairly well. Nevertheless, not all long term symptoms are evident in the short term.
Also, if you are young, know that once the pruning its, your recovery metabolism will slow drastically.
Cycle any drug, or use them only when you really need them.
Also, if you feel tired the next day, that is a sign the pill is taking a tool.
Thanks for the info, just to be clear though, I was talking about the more natural nootropics such as lions mane, or rhodiola rosae
can you do a video about "Fathead Dough"? seems to be popular with keto diets but is it really ok to eat consistently?
You do not have to take a ton of sodium bicarbonate to get good results, maybe a tsp or less when your ph is low. I know it works because I have Addison's which is associated with acidity, and after I take the baking soda, my ph goes up and so does my energy level. Having said that, I prefer to use baking soda cautiously as too much is rumored to cause things like kidney stones Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, wheatgrass or wheatgrass powder, tomato juice, dried fruits and greens will get you alkaline.
What about alkaline foods for IBS symptoms?
I actually do this sooooo
here’s the big catch, the “natural system” is not designed for carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, refined sugars, constant and so on and so on so unless you’re a total health freak that bothers your friends you “DO” need to keep this in mind
how do we get rid of keto breath and strong ammonia urine smell i seem to have now from doing Keto? i am new to the diet so i think my body is adjusting i just feel like my ph is off. How can i correct that? i am eating only organic meats/fish and green leaf veggies and the only dairy i have is feta cheese or organic swiss cheese.
You said demineralisation is not a thing - but what is? I did not understand how our body neutralises acid or alkaline input. Help me to understand, please :)
What about Wim Hof breathing techniques. He can change his ph by breathing
Another topic to cover, with SpongeBob reference included: CHOCOLAAAAAAAAATE!!!!
So what would cause calcium bone spurs to form?
its changing ph in bladder it is good if anyone has difficulties with uti's, it doesn't change the blood.
I can't find it, what is that huge word you used that involved cinnamon and gut bacteria/immunity

I did a detox with fruit and vegetables and herbs. I'm thin and was not able to maintain with just fruit and vegetables - lost too much weight, but the instructor says we need to stay in an "alkaline" state and any other foods will put our bodies in an acidic state. I eat as more of a "flexitarian" and not on one specific diet. Please let me know thoughts.
how are you doing now

Can you do a video about heartburn?
Gobbling down sodium bicarbonate is an extreme example. How about habitually consuming large quantities of phosphoric (or other) acid, as typically found in processed "soft" drinks?
how would that change anything....your stomach acid is already so acidic......at most drinking a lot of soda will cause it to adapt to secrete less acid, which can be bad if you suddenly stop drinking soda....leading to digestion not occurring properly....but otherwise phosphoric acid doesn't get absorbed in your body ....
Some studies indicate an association between potential renal acid load (PRAL) and urinary calcium excretion. Others indicate consuming vegetables may have a protective effect. Diet is a factor, so it's a tricky area to study. Presumably, if the acid load exceeds the excretion capacity of the renal system, the body may be forced to compensate in other ways.
idk if im just experiencing keto flu or what, i just started keto a week or so ago, plant based mainly. I did have some whey protein so maybe that's affecting it, but my ph feels off
Take into account AMY1 and who is low and who is high and who can and cannot digest carbohydrates. Not everyone can eat the same goods. Even vegetables.
Oh stands for potential hydrogen and doesn’t i body naturally breakdown regardless of acidity or alkalinity?
Baking soda the secret remedy
Hey I know this guy
It's secret remedy for You to wash-out all Your potassium from the body... You know, that baking soda has sodium in it? It's like salt. You'll excrete potassium like crazy if You overuse baking soda. You should supplement potassium if You want to do this kind of "therapy". Also, baking soda can be quite hard on stomach as it has very high pH and You know what happen when strong alkaline meets strong acid (stomach)? Lots of gasses and thermal reactions.
You can also become to alkaline which is called alkalosis. It's as much harmfull as acidosis.
@@arth8265how do we get out of alkalosis?
Hey, what’s up with these ‘studies’ that show a higher mortality rate in people who eat low carb? I told my sister I was going Keto and that was her reply to me and I didn’t know what to say to it.
Kim Middleton. because Big Pharma and the Medical establishment will lose big $$$ with all of us KETO'er getting Healthy...they HATE US ..KETO ON !!
Bro said ditch the veggies buy my burgers
Thomas your completely correct when your talking about homeostasis but you cannot be more wrong about the types of food you eat. The acidity and alkaline is not only physical categories of food but also spiritual categories of food. And your gut micro biome is extremely sensitive to such categories, the body may not suffer as much to short term changes with dietary changes but your mind and soul, can definitely take a blow within hours of what you ate. All thanks to the 1kg of microbiota that lives in your body that also affect your mind and soul. Don’t forget the human body is more of a super organism rather than a mechanical machine. The body is not dictated by physicallities but is actually dictated by spirituality, the food that we eat all comes from living organisms which it self has a spirit like our gut. The physical side of the process might not impact our physical bodies health has much as the spiritual side would impact how we feel in a daily and momentary bases. It is naturally set at a 75/25% balance, the spirit being the 75%; dictating how the human actually feels. So mind your spirit and mind the spirit your ingesting will save you a lot of hot air from ‘doctors’,‘physicians’,and ‘self proclaimed doctors’.
To put it in layman’s terms you go on your computer to look/access your UA-cam account...(being your spirituality)...no one goes to their computer and opens up the hard drive to look at the transistor and switches inside of it (being your physical).
See your spirit as the software, and see your physical as the hardware... looking at the human body in that perspective can save you a lot of confusion that doctors are having now. And they are spreading nothing but confusion when they look at the hardware and tell people they can manage their accounts by playing with the computer’s switches... it is almost impossible to even log in your UA-cam and see your contents with out the software.
lol new age lies.. repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Most people eat highly acidic foods all day long. Most people need to consciously eat alkaline (veggies/less dairy/less acid) to stabilize their bodies’ health.
So what’s the best way to get rid of acidity like uric acid naturally. I don’t wanna be stuck on allopurinol my whole life. I’m eating a lot more greens smoothies fresh and organic staying away from sugars and sodium and red meats trans fatty foods. My body is still high with uric acid genetics😡 i’m still in search of information and knowledge to reverse the cycle. Can anybody share some knowledge and are you dealing with a similar situation? God Bless
the good thing about humans is that we are all endowed with power of reasoning.it enables us not to be gullible. dear thomas i love your contents but too late,i adopted an alkaline diet since 2008 and the benefits has been tremendous. so i will pass,next video please
my dads been all alkaline for past 5 years dude looks crazy and hasnt got sick once.
Thomas, I had my live and dry blood analysis done and was told that my blood cells are sticking together because I'm to acidic. I was told to eat more leafy greens and take baking soda twice a day on an empty stomach. After this video I'm very confused. So why was I told to take baking soda if you cant change your ph, and why would my blood cells be sticking together. Was this person just trying to sell me supplements? She also told me I'm mineral deficient.
Thanks!
if it’s a certified doctor, it’s because this guy is a liar. if it’s not a certified doctor i don’t know what to tell you. stick to what your doctors tell you, not what this guy tells you. doctors have no reason to lie to you unless it’s to get you on prescriptions. this guy is making money off lying to you sooo.
also check out his About page on his website. He has no academic credibility to back his claims. He’s not a nutritionist or a doctor. He’s just another bod builder trying to push his diet and routine for money. Now i’m not saying that i know an alkaline diet works, but if you’ve tried it and it works for you then don’t let some guy on youtube tell you not to do it.
This is the first time I disagree with Thomas's viewpoint in one of his published videos. I am a fan! However, I believe from personal experience and from watching those close to me that the body's cellular and intracellular pH - which can be very different from the blood or urinary pH - can greatly affect the body's health. Diet, in turn, greatly affects the cellular and intracellular pH of the body. A poor diet that burns acid in the body eventually CAN cause a more acidic cellular and intracellular pH. That is a root cause of chronic health issues, but it is NOT the only cause of chronic health issues. I agree that the urine pH is not a good measure of the body's cellular / intracellular pH, but salivary pH is a good measure.
You don't recommend people eat a lot of fruit? Does this include nutritious savoury fruits such as tomato, avocado, pumpkin, squash, chilli, cucumber, zucchini, and eggplant? Savoury fruits contain considerably less sugar than the popular sweet fruits.
Then why is it when I drink coffee it can sometimes give me heartburn, whereas if I eat an alkaline food (like aloe vera or cucumers) it immediately stops the acidity? There's more to the acid/alkaline balance than just what goes into one's gut.
caffeine can relax mustles letting stomach acid through them irritating the esophagus and the aloe and cucumber soothes the irritation and nutralizes some of the stomach acid causing less irritation
Body's PH does not change - got it. But what about the stress created from Filtering and excreting acid trough urine?
But is it necessary to eat 10 cups vegetables a day on keto like dr berg teaches us?
