Losing weight by mindlessly restricting your food intake is a very bad idea. This is fraught with serious health problems and bad mood. In the end, you will still break down near a shawarma stall :) We suggest you familiarize yourself with the correct alkaline diet, from the point of view of the benefits for the body. In short: some foods, after digestion, leave alkali in the body, others form acids. When there are more acids than alkalis, the following may appear:
- headache;
- fatigue;
- runny nose;
- nervous tension;
- insomnia and much more.
The point of the alkaline diet is in the even consumption of acids and alkalis.
