The alkaline diet has gained quite a lot of support lately, largely from former adherents of the low-carb diet who turned dissatisfied by the objectionable side effects of that diet. I’ve been following this diet for some months, and notwithstanding my preliminary disbelief, I’ve been won over altogether. However, right now I want to speak about the worst-case scenario: What if the scientific evidence behind the alkaline diet is in fact utterly erroneous?

Now, I wish to say that I do not believe that this is going to be demonstrated to be true. Ever more research projects are coming to fruition all the time that demonstrate the important benefits of consuming alkaline-producing foods, including the fact that it will help to maintain bone and muscle tissue as people age.

Alternatively, it is accurate that health and nutrition suggestions seem to vary all the time. Just because a selected dietary program is on the rise right now doesn’t mean that it will not be dethroned by some new nutritional trend six months from now. The point I want to highlight is that the alkaline diet is an overall healthy diet, even should you fully dispense with the details about the relationship between well-being and acid-alkaline balance.

Let’s look at the sorts of foods which are encouraged on the alkaline diet. We’re talking unprocessed fruits and vegetables, some unrefined grains, some nuts and seeds, healthy oils, and modest servings of legumes. Meat and dairy foods are consumed moderately, or not at all.

Does this seem like a fad diet to you? Or does it sound like an excellent description of an all-around wholesome diet, much like the vegetarian diet or the Mediterranean diet? In short, the alkaline diet is not a fad–it’s a can’t-lose proposition.
