Building on the success of their first book, the best-selling pH miracle,
in this book Dr. Young and his wife turn their attention to what is
considered by many health experts as America’s number one health
crisis—the growing numbers of people who are seriously overweight or
obese.
Contrary to other popular weight loss books, most notably those,
such as The Atkins’ Diet and The South Beach Diet, that
tout a low-carbohydrate approach to achieving weight loss, the Youngs
maintain that the primary culprit behind excessive weight gain, as well
as many other health problems, is a chronic state of acidity in the
body (a pH value below 7.1). Shifting the body’s chemistry to a more
alkaline pH, they maintain, will quickly and easily result in the loss
of excess weight and the buildup of more lean muscle tissue.
The
goal outlined by the Youngs in this book is to replace dieting with a
12-week, seven-step program that is intended to not only rejuvenate the
entire body by replacing current blood cells with blood cells "at the
peak of health," but also to create an ongoing lifestyle that will
permanently keep off the pounds that were shed during the 12-week
period. In addition to a rich section on eating tips to create more
alkalinity in the body (complete with an extensive list of recipes for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus), the book also covers the
importance of adequate water drinking, proper exercise, important
nutritional supplements, learning how to manage thoughts and emotions
that can contribute to acidity, goal-setting, and, for optimum results,
a two-week cleansing program.
In support of the program, the book also
includes a collection of testimonials from people who have achieved
significant weight loss on the program—further backed up by
before-and-after photographs. With an increasing number of health
professionals now emphasizing the importance of proper pH to overall
health, the information this book presents is both timely and fairly
easy to implement. |
