With this book, we are making the first steps towards an alkaline lifestyle. Imke Kleinert explains to you why she highly recommends this way of alkaline living and how to start best. For her, healthy living means to eat a balanced diet, to move and to feel according to the principle "balance your life". The relation of acids and bases is crucial for this type of lifestyle, as it is responsible in both nutrition and life for maintaining our balance. She describes how this can be achieved - as simple as possible. She likes quick recipes and short, time-saving and effective fitness sessions. All this comes with a lot of fun and without pressure. It is a matter of doing something good for yourself and not to follow a philosophy dogmatically or to aspire to an ideal. Imke emphasizes that she eats on the basis of an alkaline surplus and not purely alkaline. Every human being has another constitution, other preconditions and has made other experiences. Only because a vegan or vegetarian diet is ideal for one person does not mean that this applies automatically to another person. However, the alkaline diet has the advantage that it can be adapted to each individual type of diet, whether vegan, low-carb or high-carb. Imke eats alkaline because this diet has a balancing effect. But basing life on merely one single pillar - which in this case is a healthy diet - would result again in an imbalance. Thus this book is not only about nutrition. It is also about detox, fitness and balance in all aspects of life. Imke shares her experiences and tips and invites you to accompany her along this path.
