The Dairy Myth: How Healthy?
Dairy has been consumed for thousands of years. However, as with any type of food, there are both benefits and drawbacks to dairy consumption. Some studies suggest that dairy consumption is linked to health problems like obesity and heart disease. There are a few different types of dairy products, including milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt.

An alkaline diet is one that focuses on eating mostly fruits, vegetables, and other whole, unprocessed foods. This type of diet has been shown to improve overall health and well-being. It can also help prevent chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and cancer.
