Unfortunately much of the weightlifting community is consumed by an unhealthy acidic lifestyle and steriod use. The reason why many bodybuilders and althletes are doing this is because they have been indoctrinated by flawed messages of what it means to truly have a healthy and fit body.
Ask yourself this question, why is it that so many people workout and diet for years, and have absolutely nothing to show for it? I can't seem to understand why grain fed cattle and pigs are inspiring so many weightlifters and personal trainers? My conclusion is that many of us, myself included, were taught about health from an early age by people that were influenced by messages of health coming from major food corporations, pharmaceutical companies, and other high level agencies.
Think about what truly happens in those private meetings that determine what will be taught to our future generations about diet and health. It's coming from the same people that are attempting to put aspartame in baby food. Im not saying that your family doctor is a bad person for trying to put your 2 year old on rittalin, what im saying is that there is another way and it is a way that actually works.
It's quite simple, we must build a healthy and fit body starting with its internal environment. If healthy babies are composed of 80 to 90% water and alkaline, and people are dying at 40 to 50 percent water and highly acidic, could it be that an acidic internal environment could be to blame for early death and disease? Think about it, even fish can't live in acidic water.
If your goal is to build healthy muscle, suppliment your workouts with foods rich in chlorophyll because of your bodys ability to easily convert it into healthy muscle. There is absolutely no need to put unhealthy stress on your body in the form of steriods and an acidic diet. Whats the point of looking fit if you are putting yourself at risk of a heart attack or cancer?
I would rather do it right by consuming foods that actually extend youth, and life, than by taking an unhealthy approach that will accellerate the aging process and cut life short.
