There is a huge variety of diets, for every choice and taste. What to choose for whom is a purely individual decision. Currently, there are many supporters of the Kremlin diet, the Dukan diet. Now it has become known that an alkaline diet is suitable for those who want to become the owners of a flat stomach. Even many celebrities have begun to adhere to it. For example, Jennifer Aniston drinks an alkaline cocktail in the morning, and supermodel Miranda Kerr generally drinks water alkalized in a special filter instead of drinking water.
The alkali that is part of the human body produces acid. This damages the digestive system in some way, contributing to excess weight and a feeling of weakness. In general, proponents of a healthy lifestyle claim that an alkaline diet is the fastest way to a flat stomach and glowing skin.
The point of the diet is to find a balance between alkaline and acidic foods. Both types of these products can be eaten, but alkaline ones should prevail. The basis of the alkaline diet is vegetables and fruits, which should be eaten fresh, without heat treatment, since it is after heat treatment that products from the "alkaline" category move into another category. It should also be taken into account that after eating, you are allowed to drink only herbal tea, and you should gradually switch to the nutrition system itself so that the body can adapt.
