Book Description

0757002641 978-0757002649 May 2005
Imagine that the human body has an internal mechanism that keeps two basic types of chemicals—acid and alkali—in balance. When your body becomes either too acidic or too alkaline, you become susceptible to a host of disorders. When balance is restored, so is your health.

In this brilliant book, renowned sports doctor Alex Guerrero explains how you can  become well—now and for an extended lifetime—by restoring your pH balance. He first describes how you can assess your health, and then provides a plan, including a fourteen-day diet and a simple program of supplements, that will bring your body back into balance. You’ll even find a selection of recipes that will tempt your taste buds as you reclaim your health. In Balance for Life presents a revolutionary look at why we become ill, and offers the simple steps you can follow—each and every day—to enjoy boundless vitality and optimal health.

This review is from: In Balance for Life: A Guide to Understanding and Maximizing Your Body's PH Factor (Paperback)
I got this book as a follow up to the acid alkaline diet. And I'm glad i did. To be brief. A skiing fall left me with a minor but painful lower back injury and a yoga book set me on the path of a vegetarian diet but didn't say why. Eventually I was led to the alkaline diet. In balance for life is really premised on this but goes much further as well. It explains how nutrients are taken into the body and reasons why they are not. It details the essential minerals and shows under what conditions we either benefit or miss out on them based on our pH (im)balance. It also relates this science to what combination of foods we eat. The book is systematic, thorough and also enjoyable to read, obviously written with expertise, care and good humor. I guess your wondering about the back injury? Well it's not cured but the pain almost completely disappeared within days of managing my pH and taking supplements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eating right, September 2, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Balance for Life: A Guide to Understanding and Maximizing Your Body's PH Factor (Paperback)
A very informative book on how to create balance in our eating habits. I have gout and I found the information and guidelines to be very helpful in controlling my gout attacks. Like most americans, my daily diet routine was not helping and this book helped with making decisions for making the right adjustments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but lacking documentation, August 21, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Balance for Life: A Guide to Understanding and Maximizing Your Body's PH Factor (Paperback)
This book has good information and much of the information is in line with other books on the same subject. However, he does not explain where he gets the ratings for whether a food is acid- or alkaline-producing. What is his system for determining this? Nearly all information about the pH-producing effect of various foods varies between books and authors, but most explain their system of determining the rating.

The listing is also quite limited. There is no resource guide either. In general, I had the feeling that he is telling me the way things are without back-up resources. He may have the resources, but it would be nice to know what they are.
