In 2013, Victoria Beckham, famously known as Posh from the iconic 90s British girl group Spice Girls, brought the alkaline diet into the spotlight by sharing her enthusiasm for the cookbook "Honestly Healthy: Eat with Your Body in Mind, the Alkaline Way" by Chef Natasha Corrett and nutritionist Vicki Edgson on Twitter. This endorsement triggered a widespread trend, with many adopting the alkaline diet as the year's new dietary sensation.
The alkaline diet quickly gained a reputation as the "anti-aging diet" due to the remarkable skin benefits reported by its followers. The theory behind this diet suggests that adhering to an alkaline eating plan can enhance collagen synthesis, promoting skin elasticity, reduce inflammation leading to conditions like acne and skin allergies, and fortify the skin barrier for individuals with dry and delicate skin.
The diet's popularity soared even higher as people shared their success stories, including effective weight loss and improvements in various health conditions, such as acid reflux, indigestion, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and Type 1 diabetes, and even cancer. However, what might seem like a recent trend actually has roots dating back to the 1920s.
Dr. William Howard Hay, a New York physician, introduced the Hay Diet in the 1920s, categorizing foods into acidic, alkaline, and neutral groups. His aim was to encourage the proper combination of foods to prevent stomach ailments and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Today, Dr. Hay's diet is more appreciated than ever, as scientific research has provided explanations for the principles underlying the Hay or Alkaline Diet.
This dietary approach suggests that by helping the body maintain its normal pH balance (around 7.365), one can reduce the body's workload and stress, ultimately conserving more energy. Consequently, the body can better defend against chronic diseases, attain a healthy body weight, and promote overall well-being.
