The Gracie Diet
The Gracie Diet was created by Grand Master Carlos Gracie, the patriarch of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the Gracie Family, during 65 years of research and first-hand use. This eating regimen focused on food combinations, aims to prevent blood acidity and fermentation that could be caused by unhealthy chemical reactions of food within the body. This procedure may hamper the digestive process, which is the most energy consuming stage in the body. According to Grand Master Carlos Gracie, keeping the acidity and the alkalinity (pH levels) of the blood properly balanced is crucial for the maximum transformation of the food.
