Alkalization: can you lose weight like Victoria Beckham?
Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Lopez all look great on an alkaline or alkaline diet. The alkaline diet was developed by nutritionists not for weight loss, but for healing and aligning the acid-base balance of the body.
Its essence: some products alkalize the environment of the body, others oxidize. A shift in either direction can lead to illness, so it is important to maintain a balance: 80% of the foods in the diet should be alkaline, 20% acidic.
Soluble food varieties include organic products, fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, vegetable oils. For sour: red meat, fatty fish, poultry, chicken eggs, pastries, milk, rice, pasta, carbonated drinks, smoked meats and salinity, unnatural sauces, and snacks.
The accentuation is on vegetables and organic products, vegetables and fruits. Fans of the diet claim that you can lose weight on it slowly but surely. Star nutritionist Margarita Koroleva advises against playing with the acidity of the body, getting carried away with an alkaline diet, and even more so completely abandoning animal protein.
It is enough to include vegetable side dishes and salads in your diet - they maintain a slightly alkaline environment in the body - and control the amount of animal protein, - says the nutritionist. - Its amount should be 1 gram per 1 kilogram of body weight, with age this amount decreases to 0.8–0.9 grams, but physical activity and muscle mass must be taken into account.
For athletes, this rate is higher. A dietitian recommends alkalizing foods such as lemon, grapefruit, and berries. Healthy, timely sleep and physical activity also have a beneficial effect on the acid balance of the body.
