Summary

Back in 2013, Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh from the 90s British girl group Spice Girls, popularized the alkaline diet by sharing on Twitter the cookbook “Honestly Healthy: Eat with Your Body in Mind, the Alkaline Way” by Chef Natasha Corrett and nutritionist Vicki Edgson. 
 
Soon after, everyone followed suit and made the alkaline diet the new diet trend of the year. 
 
People did not stop raving about it and started coining it as the “anti-aging diet” after discovering and experiencing its benefits for the skin. 
 
Theories suggest that by following an alkaline diet you can increase collagen synthesis for skin elasticity, reduce inflammation in the form of acne and skin allergy, and strengthen the skin barrier of those with dry and fragile skin. 
 
This uptrend was hyped up even more by testimonies revolving around effective weight loss and improvement from health conditions such as acid reflux, indigestion, autoimmune diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, DM Type 1, etc.), and cancer. 
 
It might sound a bit new, but did you know that this diet has been around since the 1920s?
 
A New York physician named Dr. William Howard Hay created the Hay Diet way back in the 1920s. He categorized foods into acidic, alkaline, and neutral—promoting the proper combination of foods to avoid stomach illnesses and secondary chronic diseases.
 
Fast forward to today, Dr. Hay’s diet is appreciated more than ever. Because apparently, research has found some scientific explanations for the concept of the Hay or Alkaline Diet. 
 
This diet suggests that by helping our body maintain our normal pH (~7.365), we can lessen the workload and stress on the body, eventually conserving more energy. In turn, the body can steer clear of chronic diseases, achieve normal body weight, and promote overall health. 
 
If you want to reset your health and want a diet that will help you gain more energy, lose weight, or address a certain health condition, read further.
 
In this guide, you will...
 
Learn what the alkaline diet is all about.
 
Discover the health benefits of an alkaline diet in women.
 
Determine how the alkaline diet can help you lose weight and gain more energy
 
Familiarize yourself with alkaline ingredients.
