When it comes to your health, your overall pH balance is extremely important. This determines whether your body is in a healthy state of alkalinity or overly acidic and possibly in danger. Experts say that disease can not exist in an alkaline state!
Everything we eat or drink affects our pH. Some foods make us more acidic while others make us more alkaline. In general, animal based foods such as meat and dairy products are acidic, while plant-based foods like fruits and veggies are alkaline. We do need both acid and alkaline foods in our diet, though the convenience factor of fast-foods and processed foods have made many of us overly acidic. Here are some ways to make sure your body is alkaline:
- Drink a fresh green juice every single day.
- Drink the juice of half a lemon squeezed in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning (citrus fruits seem acidic but are actually very alkaline!)
- Eat a diet full of nutritious and alkaline vegetables and fruits.
- Stay away from all processed foods and fried foods which are extremely acidic.
- Avoid refined sugar like the plague, fresh fruits are okay.
- Drink quality water such as purified water or even better, fresh spring water (tap water usually has fluoride in it and is very toxic to the body, which your dentist may not tell you.)
- Use natural household cleaning agents such as diluted apple cider vinegar.
- Use natural bath and body product such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, toothpaste, mouthwash, lotions, facial creams and make-up. Commercial ones are made with chemicals that have a massive toxic load to the body and make you acidic.
- Eat more plant-based foods and opt for only grass-fed, organic animal products.
- Include more wheat grass, barley grass, kelp, cayenne, chlorella and spirulina in your diet.
- Mix ½ tsp of baking soda in a glass of water and drink daily .This may be the most effective and easiest way to bring your pH level up in alkalinity, so give it a try.
