I had several issues, including tinnitus, a few yrs ago, until my NEW doctor told me to change my diet! I laughed in his face, knowing there was no way food was doing ALL OF THIS.
I was wrong. Your life will change
when u work towards alkaline diet. Start with no coffee, tea or pop.
Fill the void with something healthy u love. I used smoothies.
After a month c how u feel. I never went back to eating the old way, and love that I’m 57, and now feel great every day.
I also started meditating, and recommend it to all! Keeps your mind calm, helping you think clearly. Start slowly. You can do it.
Good luck. I don’t want anyone to feel the way I used to.

This is good advice. A few months ago, after being a lover of coffee ever since I could remember, I gave it up. Stopped going to my favorite coffee shop. The first week of withdrawal was rough. But by the second week, I felt so good. Energy level went through the roof! No afternoon slump to go and have a cup.

So I like your post. Even change one thing can make a difference. For me it was coffee.

Unfortunately I’ve had ringing in my ears for over 30 yrs. I don’t drink tea or soda and have 1/2 cup of coffee while I relax in the morning after getting up. I have the “normal” aging stuff - arthritis etc but was graced with an autoimmune deficiency a few years ago, burning mouth syndrome after extensive dental work, Grover’s disease with constant itching and meniere’s and they all cause me constant irritation of one sort or another. I then read other posts of conditions much worse and life threatening than mine and that’s when I thank the Lord for my blessings and not my curses. I do make sure I get my checkups and try others suggestions for helping my “stuff” so that’s also important to stay on top of and of course try and stay positive. 💗

Wow, your comment intrigues me. My husband who was part of Desert Storm was assigned to scud missiles and now suffers from tinnitus.

Based on your comment an alkaline diet played a key role in helping you with your tinnitus.

My husband loves coffee and drinks a cup or two a day and an occasional coke.

We have made dietary adjustments and exercise changes that has made a tremendous improvement on our health and wellbeing.

Thanks to you I will be reading more on the alkaline diet and work on weaning my beautiful husband off of coffee. 😁

Thank you so much for sharing!
