We bodybuilders eat too much protein, and this creates several physiological problems. The biggest is acidosis, or excessive acidity of bodily tissues. After all, protein is composed of amino acids so it is not surprising that eating too much of it results in acidosis. The problem is that we evolved from animals that had vegetable matter as the stapple of their diet. Vegetable matter puts your body in an alkaline state, and we evolved to be at our best when our bodies are alkaline. Being acidic creates problems such as gout and arthrities. It also leads to ostheoporosis, as the body removes Calcium and Magnesium from bones to buffer all those acids and neutralize them. Putting aside the debate whether humans are natural omnivores or vegetarians, the bottom line is that we are much better off in terms of health when we get most of our food from the plantae rather than animalia kingdom.
I have discovered the most powerful alkalinizer there is: asparagus. It contains Sulphur-rich compounds that dramatically increase body alkalinity. You would need to eat pounds of lettuce or broccoli to get the alkalinizing effect of one pound of asparagus. But asparagus has one added benefit: it contains soluble fiber which lowers LDL cholesterol unlike the insoluble fiber in leafy vegetables and broccoli which does not.
Asparagus is expensive, but is really worth it. I feel much better on it: less constipation, less muscle aches, more well-being and a better complexion. If you buy it in bulk directly from the manufacturers, you can save hundreds of bucks. Shoot to buy 100 pounds or more at once. With this, you will save over 50%.
