7 ways to make alkaline diet benefit you
This article is brought to you by Beverly Taylor.
The premise of an alkaline diet is that the nutrients found in supplements,
alkalizing foods, and water can bring the body back to balance. These
vitamins, minerals, and herbs infuse the body with new energy, vitality,
and better health.
Alkaline foods and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients
the body needs to neutralize acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, tissues,
and cells.
When pH balance inside the body is ‘out of balance’ the
body tries to correct that sensitive pH balance. That process shows up
as uncomfortable symptoms, including colds, flues, allergies,diseases,
viruses, and bacteria.
When the pH level in our body is unbalanced, almost any area of the
body can be affected. For example when the nervous system is effected
as the result of unbalanced pH balance it shows up in the form of the
depression. When cardiovascular system is effected we could have heart
disease or experience other heart-related problems, including thickening
and hardening of the arteries, coronary heard disease, pain or discomfort
in the chest, stroke, high blood pressure, and heart failure. When muscles
are effected we often feel fatigue and lack of energy. When skin is effected
by improper pH balance we age quicker than normal.
When the body’s pH level is in balance, the body reaches ideal
weight and corrects negative health challenges naturally.
Transition to a more alkaline healthy diet requires a shift in attitude
towards food. The important point to remember is that small changes go
a long way. Add more alkaline foods to your diet gradually.
7 Sure-fire ways to make alkaline diet benefit you:
1) Reduce the consumption of sugar and products made from sugar, including
soda pop, pies, ice cream, jello, jams & jellies, artificial juices,
puddings, doughnuts, corn syrups, chewing gum, sweetened drinks, cookies,
breakfast cereals, liqueurs, mixed drinks.
2) Avoid processed foods and condiments including ketchup, salad dressings,
pickles, luncheon meats, canned fruits, breads, relish, cheese dips,
peanut butter, prepared seafood, frozen vegetables, crackers, canned
soups, hot dogs, sausages, sweetened yogurt.
3) Avoid cooking and heating foods and drinks in microwave.
4) Avoid dairy, meats, fried foods and fast foods.
5) Increase your consumption of raw vegetables and raw fresh fruits
(without sugar). You should include raw vegetables in every meal. If
your breakfast is so small that you only eat toast or cereal, stop eating
toast and take fresh fruits or vegetable juices instead. If your lunches
are usually consist of sandwiches try to substitute it with a raw salad
or a vegetable juice. Have a large salad before you eat a heavy entree
at dinner. This way, you will be sure to eat all of the salad instead
of finding yourself too full to finish it.
6) Grains form the base of a balanced diet and are important in maintaining
the alkaline balance in the body. Grains are great source of vitamins,
minerals, and essential nutrients, including folic acid, fiber, carbohydrates
antioxidants and phytoestrogens. The Department of Food and Science and
Nutrition at University of MInnesota determined that consumption of whole
grains reduces the risk of chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular
disease. By eating grains you can eat less but feel full. Grains should
comprise about 20% of your diet.
7) Don't forget to hydrate. Drink at least half of your body weight
in ounces of good quality of water each day. Add liquid minerals to increase
the quality of water.
If you follow these easy 7 steps it will allow you to create the proper
alkaline balance within your body.

increased quality of life. You'll start seeing immediate improvements
