Diet and lifestyle changes are often more effective in reducing rates of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and premature death than any other medical intervention.

It is not about doing extreme diets but about modifying certain dietary patterns.

We eat to generate good quality blood. If it is slightly alkaline we will have health and vitality. If, on the other hand, our diet is chaotic and extreme, our blood will be acidic, producing stress, fatigue and illness.

Why don't diets work? Whatever it is, in the long term, they are not effective. Being tied to scales, counting calories or giving up what we want can really become an ordeal.
