Natasha Corrett
Why Alkaline?
Food groups behave differently in the body – some provide energy (carbohydrates), whilst others are the very rebuilding and repairing blocks of our bodies and brains (proteins) – and yet others feed our neurological systems, regulate our hormones, and protect us against damage and disease (essential fats). How these foods behave in the body is broken down into two classes – acid and alkaline. Our bodies function best when in an overall alkaline state, PH 7.365 and yet much of our current eating trends and diets are very acid-forming in the body, leading to internal stress on the digestive and other systems.
Our bodies do amazing things with food – its our fuel, so why feed it with something that doesn’t make it perform at its optimum? Come and find out more about the Alkaline Way of eating and see Natasha cooking some of her delicious, alkaline, healthy, organic and fabulously tasty recipes.
