Common Health Issues These Days
Every one is having health issues these days- fatigue and lethargic feeling is common.
Ever wondered as to why we feel tired even though we are cautious about eating healthy food through the week and take liberty of eating junk food during weekends.
-The whole problem lies in the kind of food that we eat!
-A diet that includes too many acid producing foods can cause bone and muscle deterioration and so the aches and pains in the body.
-We need to understand the difference between ACID FOODS and ACID PRODUCING FOODS.
**LEMON IS ACIDIC BUT HAS AN ALKALISING EFFECT ON OUR BODY ONCE DIGESTED.
**SIMILARLY MILK IS ALKALISING OUTSIDE THE BODY BUT ACIDIC UPON DIGESTION.
So often people find it difficult to digest milk..
