FantasyIreland said:Its long been a theory that a body in an 'acidic state' is prone to disease and injury due to inflammation.
By reducing the main antagonists - red meat,sugar and processed carbs,and adding more oily fish and lean white meat along with increased wholegrains and greens - the body should become more alkaline and subsequently less prone to illness.
I've been on such a diet for about 13 years and its a winner IMO,i'm surprised not all footballers are subject to such or at least a tailored diet specific to their requirements.
Shhh, people aren't meant to know how disease really perpetuates. But ye, eat an alkaline heavy diet and as long as you're organs and glands are functioning well, you'll be sound.
