Fasting - the voluntary renunciation of food intake for a limited period of time - is one of the most proven methods of maintaining or regaining health.
Alkaline fasting involves abstaining from acid-forming foods with the aim of restoring a healthy balance to the acid-base balance. The "normal" nutritional system of Western industrialized countries contains a disproportionate amount of acid-forming substances, which the body can only regulate to a certain extent. Once the buffer reserves are exhausted, the body can no longer compensate for nutritional sins.
Practical experience with patients and healthy people shows that switching to an alkaline diet has a positive effect on health and well-being. Studies and research document that a diet with a lower acid load can be expected to have many positive effects, particularly on bone metabolism, the kidneys, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
