There has recently been much speculation about the supposed benefits of the alkaline diet in cancer prevention and cure<\/strong>. There is no doubt that nutrition plays a fundamental role in our state of health<\/strong> and well-being, which is why it is one of the foundations of the SHA Method<\/strong>. \u201cThe modern diet<\/strong> is often rich in acidic foods,<\/strong> such as meat, eggs, coffee and dairy products, and seems to increase cortisol secretion and insulin resistance, creating an environment that favours inflammation<\/strong> and the development of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and cancer\u201d, says Joana Andr\u00e9, Nutrition and Health Consultant at SHA. \u201cIn contrast, adopting a more alkaline diet leads to increased consumption of plant-based foods<\/strong> and lower daily caloric intake, providing several health benefits, such as more effective weight control and improved cardiovascular and kidney health<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n
