Dairy Products and the pH Miracle Diet
Even if you can make the change to a meat free life, many people will admit they can not imagine what life would be like without cheese. And, like meat, it seems that cheese is a part of every meal, so the dread of this step is not uncommon.
Dairy products are not recommended on the pH Miracle Diet because they can stimulate the production of acids in the body. The body has to work very hard to break down the natural sugars in milks and cheeses, causing the body’s pH levels to fluctuate.
This is not a good thing for creating balance in the body.
In addition, the use of milk in the diet is unnecessary and often considered to be illogical. We are the only species which drink milk from another species and we are also the only species to drink milk after we are breastfed.
It is thought that milk is simply just a source of nutrition for babies as they are growing. Once they have grown, there is no need for this source of nutrition any longer. And thus, perhaps we do not need it either.
Many people in the world are actually lactose intolerant and don’t even know it. They are having allergic reactions to milk or are simply impeding their digestive process because of their unknown intolerance.
Dairy products have also been shown to reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, which might also be the result of acid wastes in the bloodstream from their intake.
To help remove dairy from your diet, you might want to choose rice milks and soy milks to see if any of these substitutes will be helpful. Many times, they are just as delicious (make sure to choose the sugarless kinds) while still giving you the creaminess that you might be missing.
