The higher the quantity of alkaline foods we put into our system, the greater the body's acidic condition neutralization.

As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior.

Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the world - greater than both back pain and heart disease. One example, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is the most common autoimmune disease, affecting 1% of the US population, and almost 68 million people worldwide.
