Nowadays, many men and women desire a healthy body image, which is often a reflection of their overall health. Men and women may look at their bodies differently: men focus on their chest, arms, and abs, while women concentrate on their waist, hips, and thighs. But weight loss for both men and women begins with a healthy food relationship.

Foods must balance your body chemistry in order to neutralize and eradicate free radicals, which are oxidative stresses that destroy your body cells. Foods must balance your the acid and alkaline level in your body, with no more than 30 percent acid-forming foods, such as meat proteins, and 70 percent or more alkaline-forming foods, such as most fruits and vegetables. All pharmaceutical drugs are acidic. Many health experts believe that a balance of acidity and alkalinity, known as balanced pH level in your body will make you disease-free.
