I have been dabbling with the concept of getting my internal system to be more alkaline but I didn't really know why it was better for me or what I needed to do.  This book clearly outlines what the whole concept means and provides easy steps for how to go about achieving it.I learned so many interesting and useful tidbits of information. For one thing I didn't know that rice and pasta were acid forming foods. For another I didn't know some acidity, especially in the stomach, is necessary in order for food to be broken down and assimilated. I thought the goal was 100% alkalinity, but the author Jake Hargis, explains otherwise.  He also says stress contributes to acidity, which makes so much sense. The book also gives you specific markers on how to spot how alkalinity has manifested in your body.Finally there are simple actionable steps you can take to remedy the situation. What I love is that Hargis doesn't recommend going cold turkey and eliminating everything, but rather advises one to cut back slowly on acidic foods while incorporating healthier habits.  This was an easy read packed full of useful information.
