One of the ways the health holiday program works so effectively is in making the body more alkaline. A standard diet which is high in acid forming foods such as sugar, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, wheat and meat, upsets the bodies acid / alkaline balance. Without the accompanying alkaline minerals to buffer this high acidity, the body, (in a desperate attempt to keep the blood alkaline), leaches minerals such as calcium and phosphorous from the bones. Over time, this leads to many health complaints from arthritis to mood swings and osteoporosis (to name a few!). The low glycemic, high plant protein content of the food and juices, also helps stabilise blood sugar imbalances quickly. This is excellent for diabetics, hypoglycaemics and for those suffering from mycotoxins and yeast overgrowth.
