In this article, you will learn what is happening in your body right now, that is compromising your health. This is such a fundamental area to get right, that the effects of correcting it are extremely powerful. I go through the principles of this and some simple daily actions you can take to get all the benefits.

“A deficiency in these minerals is a real phenomenon, and has a significant, clinical, long-term physiological effect that should be recognised and potentially counterbalanced.” 

I started off in the health world by attending a Tony Robbins event in 2004. In that event, Tony not only demonstrated non-stop unbelievable energy for 4 days straight, but he also mentioned that he followed something called “The Alkaline Diet”. This fascinated me and in an effort to emulate his energy I embarked on a 20-year journey into health.

In my own research to apply it, I went underneath the alkaline diet, sought out as many independent studies as possible and found out what is really going on under the surface.

So, I really see “The Alkaline Diet” now as something that led to the uncovering of a number of key health principles that I will cover in this module. Rather than referring to this approach as “The Alkaline Diet” I focus on these evidence-based principles.

Many people have uncovered different parts of these principles from all areas of health, from medical research, to fitness and nutrition experts. So, I’m going to bring this all together - demystify, simplify and summarise this for you. I will then translate them into simple steps you can take in a few minutes a day that will completely transform your health.

I am going to cover some principles here that are very uncommon in mainstream health. But again, they go to the root of how the body actually works. By understanding this and taking the simple actions I outline, we can really take control of these fundamental areas, to produce astounding results.

Your Body is Like a Battery

Your body is like a battery in that it operates on electrical gradients and needs a full spectrum of minerals to allow it to maintain this. When you have the right levels of minerals, you will feel “charged” and without them, you feel “drained”.

Fluids in The Body Need to be Slightly Alkaline

Cells operate optimally at a voltage range of around -30 to 70 mv, which is the equivalent of an average pH of 7.365. So for optimum health you need to be slightly alkaline. When this voltage/pH drops, even by a fraction, then fatigue sets in. And the long-term effects are devastating to the body.

The effects of this include: Low energy and sluggishness, low mood and depression, poor blood health and blood pressure problems, mental “fog” and slow thinking, cravings for stimulants, such as sugar, premature ageing, digestive problems and many more.

Free Your Body

Your body is constantly working to maintain pH levels, and keep it optimum. It knows how to do this! A lot of confusion has arisen in the media around the misconception that we are trying to artificially “raise” the pH of the body. This could not be further from the truth. In effect, we are just allowing the body to regulate itself.

The pH of the body works in a similar way to core temperature, in that the body will do the regulating - and will take numerous evasive actions to do this. The negative effects come from the additional strain your body is under.

Putting too much acid into the body through lifestyle choices and not consuming enough of, and the right kind of minerals will cause the body to wreak havoc trying to maintain pH. This can be felt with short-term things like fatigue, low mood, brain fog, weight gain; and more serious long-term consequences.

Minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium have validated, peer-reviewed health benefits. ^[17]

They are vital to supporting critical bodily processes, from your organs to muscles and your brain! In fact, most of us are deficient in almost every mineral, which is proven to lead to low energy, low mood, depression, mental fog, cravings, premature ageing, digestive problems, headaches, muscle cramps, nausea, migraines, and other unpleasant outcomes! ^{[18 19 20 21 22 23 24]}

Let’s consider the benefits of magnesium alone². Over 700-800 bodily functions depend on magnesium, and it is important for over 300 enzymatic processes, including all of those involved in energy production, nerve and cardiac function, muscle contraction and relaxation, protein synthesis, controlling blood glucose, maintaining healthy DNA. ^[2,25] It’s also critical for your cells to multiply properly.

In short, pretty much every key area of health and longevity.

And unfortunately, most of us are magnesium deficient.

A published research paper from Cambridge University states: “a deficiency in these minerals is a real phenomenon, and has a significant, clinical, long-term physiological effect that should be recognised and potentially counterbalanced.”
