The Acid Watcher Diet by Jonathan Aviv, MD, FACS



The past couple of years I have had a little acid reflux in times of stress and my husband has had a problem with acid reflux. When I saw The Acid Watcher Diet, my husband and I both agreed it was time to look at making some dietary and lifestyle changes to help our bodies so we needed to read the book and give it a try.

The Acid Watcher Diet by Dr. Jonathan Aviv is divided into 3 parts: Part 1 discusses what causes acid damage in our bodies and what to know as you seek treatment. It was big news to me that esophageal cancer is on the rise as a result of this problem and will soon overtake colon cancer in numbers. The second part of this book details the how and why we need to change our diet and what changes need to be made for lasting health improvements. The third section of this book contains the actual diet with recipes. The recipes are easy to follow. It also includes menus for special occasions. 

The Acid Watcher Diet is written by a doctor with many years of experience in treating patients with acid reflux. I found Dr. Aviv's writing to be quite interesting and he makes medical terms easy to understand. It is now much easier for me to see why this is a problem for many in our society with the changes in our food supply. My husband and I don't eat the same way but I could see certain foods we were both eating that caused an issue for us, along with some heavier stress the past couple of years and changes in our lifestyle that weren't helping us. This diet, recipes, and lifestyle changes are do-able and  we plan to follow through with Dr. Aviv's advice and make the necessary changes. We have not yet had 4 weeks worth of the diet to know how big of a difference in will make yet but I can already see a difference in making changes within just a few days. I would encourage anyone who think they may have an acid problem to read this book and follow Dr. Aviv's recommendations.

******UPDATE*****May 22, 2017--My husband and I both completed this program about 3 weeks ago and were both so much better. This program totally worked for us. We also liked the recipes we tried. I especially liked the blueberry crepes. I then bought two copies to pass out to relatives who were interested in why we felt so much better. Again, I highly recommend this book!

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
