P.S.
If you are interested in knowing what foods are high in alkaline and what are high in acid, here is a list. Understand, I am not suggesting you change your diet to just alkaline rich food. Personally, I eat dairy, meat and veggies. I try to eat everything in moderation and if I know I am going to eat a food that will have an acidizing effect on my body I make sure to a food that will have an equal alkalizing effect. Here are 2 simple ways to increase the alkaline in your body without having to make DRASTIC changes to your diet. 1. Start drinking Mineral water instead of pop. 2. You can make alkaline water by adding 1/2 tsp of baking soda to a 16.9floz bottle of filtered water. If you want to get REALLY technical you can test the water with a ph strip. You want the ph level to be between 8.5 and 9.0. Enjoy and no more DIET SODA!!

| ALKALIZING VEGETABLES Alfalfa Barley Grass Beet Greens Beets Broccoli Cabbage Carrot Cauliflower Celery Chard Greens Chlorella Collard Greens Cucumber Dandelions Dulce Edible Flowers Eggplant Fermented Veggies Garlic Green Beans Green Peas Kale Kohlrabi Lettuce Mushrooms Mustard Greens Nightshade Veggies Onions Parsnips (high glycemic) Peas Peppers Pumpkin Radishes Rutabaga Sea Veggies Spinach, green Spirulina Sprouts Sweet Potatoes Tomatoes Watercress Wheat Grass Wild Greens ALKALIZING ORIENTAL VEGETABLES ALKALIZING FRUITS ALKALIZING PROTEIN ALKALIZING SWEETENERS ALKALIZING SPICES & SEASONINGS ALKALIZING OTHER ALKALIZING MINERALS Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalinizing effect in the system. Note that a food’s acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so, lemons are alkaline forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid forming. |
