/EINPresswire.com/ -- WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - December 01, 2016) - The Alkaline Diet is purported to change the body to a healthy PH state through changes in diet. The concept of alkalizing to improve health has been around for some time, however much of the research shows that many of these claims are baseless. Dr. Nishant Rao -- Medical Director of nationally recognized medical weight loss program, Diet Doc, states that, "One of the greatest problems with this concept is that it isn't very scientifically sound. The body maintains an extremely narrow pH window, with blood pH ranging between 7.35 and 7.45. This means that even as you consume highly alkaline foods, your body will always regulate blood pH in this narrow window." Dr. Rao also explains that, "If you consumed a high amount of acidic food, your body would offset it by buffering blood pH so that the actual levels never change."

Given these facts, Diet Doc doesn't stand by the concept of choosing food to manipulate blood pH because there isn't enough evidence to support that there are any actual changes that occur within the body. Dr. Rao continues, "Individuals may feel healthier when they start these types of diets for various reasons. For example, they may have suddenly eliminated dairy and they were unaware that they had actually been lactose intolerant and therefore make the mistake of correlating their improvements with the alkaline diet."

Instead of going alkaline, Diet Doc suggests that a diet that is rich in a variety of macro (protein, carbs, fat) and micro nutrients will provide the body all that it needs to be able to correctly buffer blood and optimize its normal function. Balanced diet plans, such as Diet Doc's Jumpstart Diet has resulted in weight loss of up to 20 pounds per month for their patients along with reducing health risks such as cancer, diabetes and obesity.
