The Benefits Of A Low Carbohydrate Diet

One of the main benefits to minimizing carbohydrates in the diet is to support an alkalized environment in the body, which is essential for the proper absorption of nutrients; and reduces the growth of pathogens and even cancer. Simply putting nutrients into the body–does not mean that they are going to be absorbed. Any farmer can tell you that just because you add more fertilizer to your soil, it does not mean your plants will get healthy. This is because the soil pH (acid/base balance) must be right for the nutrients to be absorbed. The same is true for the body. Diet’s high in sugar and carbohydrates tend to produce a more acid environment in the body, making it difficult for nutrients to get absorbed.
Reducing acidity is critical for reversing and preventing disease because it optimizes the bodies ability to absorb nutrients and virtually starves unwanted pathogens that feed off of sugars (like candida).
Our cellular physiology is constantly working to reach a point of balance. This balance is called homeostasis and it is the natural resting place in the bodies physiological state. It takes a great deal of energy for the body to manage this delicate balance–especially when loads of sugars consistently get dumped into it. By proactively managing our blood sugar levels by reducing carbohydrates, we allow our body to rest, relax and recover from an otherwise stressed state of “cellular panic.” This allows the body to heal itself. Give yourself a break and discover the benefits of a low carb diet!
The release of insulin is required every time you eat sweets or carbohydrates. Carbohydrates (grains, sweets, alcohol…) not only tax the pancreas and the entire endocrine system, but they also disturb digestion and absorption of nutrients because they feed the unhealthy bacteria, fungus, yeast, parasites and even cancer cells in the gut and throughout the body. Pathogens feed on sugars! Then, release toxic by-products which leave you feeling tired, bloated, irritable and worse, craving more sweets, carbohydrates and caffeine to bring back the lost energy… Shifting from a carbohydrate based diet to a diet higher in essential fats will help to balance the pH and provide all day energy and effortless weight loss.
