Obesity, chronic disease, and numerous other health problems are becoming more common among men and women around the world. These issues are often associated with the unhealthy foods that are eaten regularly, such as sugar, dairy, meat, and processed foods. Bad dietary habits cause the body to become toxic and weak, causing the person to gain weight and making it difficult to overcome illness and disease. All of these health problems can be reversed by changing food habits, because following an alkaline diet will allow the body to heal since it is no longer weighed down by toxic waste. When you are eating an abundance of healthy foods, the pH levels in the body will balance. Additionally, your body will be receiving all of the nutrients that are needed for optimal health, because alkaline foods contain high levels of vitamins and minerals which promote health and wellness. When alkaline foods are eaten, the body is able to detoxify the liver, kidneys, and intestines. Additionally, this cleansing affects every cell in your body, because the body is filled with oxygen-rich blood which can work to improve cellular function. Many positive health benefits can occur when you follow an alkaline diet, including: weight loss, improved skin tone, higher energy levels, improved digestion, less illness and disease, decreased chronic pain, and improved organ functions. An alkaline diet is one of the best ways to lose weight and detoxify your body. It is common for someone to start an alkaline diet with the intention of following it for a short period of time for weight loss... but, they feel so great that they continue eating alkaline foods and it becomes a way of life. In this book, you will see how an alkaline diet can positively impact your life. You will learn which types of foods should be eaten, the foods that should be avoided, how your health can improve by following an alkaline diet, and tips that can help you to create healthier habits in your life.

Every individual who endures a spinal cord injury leaves the hospital thinking the same thing: "Now what?" There is no agreed-upon protocol, or even set of best-practices, for how to reconnect a paralyzed body. Drawing from movement disciplines not usually associated with paralysis recovery, the authors, Theo St. Francis and Stephanie Comella, apply the science of biotensegrity and the innate capacity of the body to heal itself to the challenge of neurological reconnection. With fully-illustrated exercise descriptions, this clinical perspective is written for both those recovering from spinal cord injury and for their movement trainers. From the Ground Up is an in-depth exploration of how to claim ownership of the recovery journey, both inside and out.
