Happy New Year!

As our joint resolution we've decided to go on a Green Diet, beginning with ten days of cleansing. The idea is that by eating foods that are alkaline (instead of acidic) you lower your bodies ph, which should be around 7.3. The problem is that most western food is very acidic and your body has to struggle to keep your internal ph down, but by eating these alki foods your body gets more energy, less sleep, less sickness, and overall goodness. Here's a ph food chart if you're interested. An excess of acid can lead to all range of problems like fatigue, cancer, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, and possibly viruses. Worth checking out.
