Alkaline Diet Benefits – Why you should alkalize your body
Alkaline Diet Benefits – Why you should alkalize your body
Hi friends! Today’s post is all about why alkalizing your body is that important to keep your body healthy and fend off life-threatening diseases and overweight.
What Is The Acid-Base Balance (ABB)?
The ABB is vitally important and necessary for overall health. Acid-base imbalances can lead to diseases such as cancer, kidney failure, and heart diseases. Today, largely due to poor dietary habits, many people suffer from such imbalances.
The human body is a complex bio-energetic system, always striving to keep itself in balance. We call this process homeostasis. It is needed to maintain a stable, relatively constant condition of properties such as your temperature or pH.
The ABB is one of your body’s homeostatic mechanisms. It regulates the balance between acids and bases (alkalines) formed within your body and keeps your pH slightly alkaline (7.35 to 7.45) and corrects imbalances that may occur.
Acidosis is a condition where the pH of your blood falls below 7,35. This can lead to central nervous depression, coma, and even death.
Alkalosis, on the other hand, is when the pH of your blood rises above 7,45; resulting in over-excited nerves, muscle spasm, nervousness, and convulsions which may lead to death.
Typical Western Diet Is full Of Acid-forming Foods
Acidosis is by far the most common imbalance seen in our modern society. Alkalosis is relatively rare because our typical western or Standard American Diet is loaded with acid producing products and far too low in alkaline producing foods to neutralize those acids and keep your pH within tight borders.
Acidic pH can occur from an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload or immune reactions. Your body has to put a lot of effort and energy in the neutralizing process to prevent acidification When your diet is not balanced, your body will steal alkaline material, such as calcium, out of your bones and teeth to neutralize the acids. Increasing the risk of weak bones and osteoporosis.
Acidosis is also closely related to overweight and obesity as your body creates fat cells to carry acids away from your blood and vital organs. So fat is actually saving your life, as it is a response to alarming acid levels.
Acidification forms the base of many ailments such as osteoporosis, obesity, cancer, gout, migraine, premature aging, and several physical and emotional illnesses. By adjusting your diet you can fend off those ailments and do your body a big favor.
Alkaline Diet Helps To Balance pH levels
An alkaline diet provides the body with neutralizing compounds, so it doesn’t have to steal material from your body to maintain the same, slightly alkaline level. This doesn’t mean you have to throw out all acid forming foods, as you need them as well to avoid alkalosis. Balance is key here.
A good rule of thumb is to eat 60-80% of alkaline forming and 20-40% of acid forming foods.
Although it may seem that citrus fruits would have an acidic effect on your body, the citric acid they contain have an alkalizing effect. To set things clear, the food’s ability to form acids or alkalines within your body has nothing to do with the actual pH or sour taste of the food itself.
As an example: lemons are very sour, however after digestion, the end product is very alkaline. Meat on the other hand will test alkaline before digestion, but leaves acidic residues in your body and is known to be acidic forming, just like nearly all animal products.
What Are Acid Forming Foods
All food sources that contain high levels of protein and sugar are acid forming. Likewise, processed foods, soft drinks, coffee, artificial chemical sweeteners, and medication.
- Most nuts and seeds
- Grains or cereals
- Cheese
- Meat
- Poultry
- Fish
- Seafood
Only 20 to 40% of what you eat should come out of the acid forming list. Eat more and your body will have a hard time to neutralize all the acids within your body.
What Are Alkaline Forming Foods?
- Fruits
- Green vegetables
- Root and tuber vegetables
- Bulbous plants
- Yogurt
- Herbs and spices
60-80% of what you eat should come out of the alkaline forming list.

Alkaline Foods That Fight Cancer Pain Gout Diabetes And Heart Disease
Alkaline Foods That Fight Cancer Pain Gout Diabetes And Heart Disease
Trying to go alkaline?
It’s easier when you know which foods help your get to and stay in an alkaline state. A general rule of thumb is that you can eat these foods without worrying about any acidic effect they’ll have, although some are more alkaline than others.
IT ISN’T NECESSARY TO EAT ONLY ALKALINE FOODS IN ORDER TO GET BODY’S PH LEVELS TO BE ALKALINE, AND A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF FOODS CAN BE ACIDIC, BUT IT’S BEST IF THEY’RE NATURAL, WHOLE FOODS LIKE FRUITS.

#1 ALMONDS
Almonds consistently rank on the list of healthiest foods to eat, so it’s no wonder that they’re also an alkaline food.
MOST NUTS AND SEEDS ARE CONSIDERED ACID UNLESS THEY’RE SPROUTED; HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE NEUTRAL OR JUST SLIGHTLY ALKALINE SUCH AS ALMOND

#2 AMARANTH
This is a grain that not many people are familiar with, but that makes a great addition to any alkaline-focused diet plan.
TODAY AMARANTH IS VALUED WORLDWIDE. THE UNITED NATIONS FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION HAS FOSTERED AMARANTH’S USE SINCE 1967 BECAUSE WHEREVER IT IS CONSUMED THERE IS NO MALNUTRITION. AMARANTH HAS MORE PROTEIN THAN WHEAT AND HIGHER IN THE AMINO ACID LYSINE THAN OTHER GRAIN SOURCES OF PROTEIN.
BOTANISTS NOTE THAT AMARANTH BELONGS TO A REMARKABLE GROUP OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC SUPER PERFORMERS CALLED THE C4 GROUP, MEANING IT IS SUPER EFFICIENT IN CONVERTING SOIL, SUNLIGHT, AND WATER INTO PLANT TISSUE.

#4 ARTICHOKES
Artichokes are often seen on top of salads, or used in a dip, but there are a number of reasons why you can bring them to the forefront of your diet.
ARTICHOKES HAVE THE HIGHEST ANTIOXIDANT LEVELS OUT OF ALL VEGETABLES, ACCORDING TO A STUDY DONE BY THE USDA, AND OUT OF 1,000 PLANTS DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOODS, THEY RANKED #7 IN ANTIOXIDANT CONTENT. ANTIOXIDANTS ARE ONE OF THE PRIMARY MEANS OF DEFENSE FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF FREE RADICALS, NATURAL BYPRODUCTS OF CELL METABOLISM THAT CAN LEAD TO A NUMBER OF DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AND DISEASES IN THE BODY, INCLUDING CANCER AND HEART DISEASE, AMONG OTHERS.

#5 ARUGULA
Here’s a leafy green that’s worth getting to know. Arugula is often used as part of a detox diet plan, and the fact that it’s an alkaline food is a big part of that.
ARUGULA ALSO PROVIDES HIGH LEVELS OF PROTEIN, THIAMIN, RIBOFLAVIN, VITAMIN B6, ZINC, COPPER, AND PANTOTHENIC ACID (VITAMIN B5) FOR RAISING GOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND LOWERING THE BAD. ITS FLAVONOID CONTENT HAS MULTIPLE BENEFITS: TO PREVENT CHOLESTEROL FROM STICKING TO ARTERIES,LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE, INCREASE BLOOD FLOW, LOWER INFLAMMATION, AND IMPROVE BLOOD VESSEL FUNCTION.

#6 ASPARAGUS
Asparagus has an alkaline effect on the body, and it just so happens that it’s one of the strongest foods you can eat in terms of alkalinity.
EACH FOOD IS RANKED ACCORDING TO HOW ALKALINE IT IS, AND ASPARAGUS IS ONE OF THE “BIG DOGS”. BUT IT BRINGS A LOT MORE THAN THAT TO THE TABLE, INCLUDING ANTIOXIDANTS, NUTRIENTS, AND PLENTY OF DETOXIFYING QUALITIES. IT’S EVEN BEEN NOTED THAT ASPARAGUS HAS ANTI-AGING BENEFITS, WHICH IS ENOUGH FOR MOST PEOPLE TO START ADDING MORE OF IT TO THEIR MENU.

Beetroot gets more attention now than ever before, and it’s one of the foods out there that will act to help raise your pH levels.

ADD THESE AS A SIDE, OR USE THEM AS A SALAD TOPPER. BE SURE TO BUY THIS ONE FRESH AND STEAM IT, AS THE PICKLED VARIETY HAS REDUCED NUTRITIONAL VALUE.
