A nice dish of hummus, some lime chilli stir fry, some broccoli soup, some lentil salad, a fresh fruit salad. It all sounds wonderful. They’ll all feel wonderful, or at least make me feel wonderful when I eat them as part of an acid alkaline diet. These are the good, natural, wholesome foods that my body needs to stay at its peak because they aid in bringing a steady supply of alkaline to me.
A good alkaline balance is needed in your system, because blood is naturally alkaline, but a lot of the food that finds its way into our diets is acidic. Meats, dairy, sweets, alcohol etc, all the good stuff that we have already been told that an excess of is not good for us, because of weight gain and high cholesterol levels amongst other things, are also detrimental to us because of the residues of acid they leave behind. Acid build up in the body only leads to an inner environment which is weak and susceptible to illness.
An acid alkaline diet taken in balance, where there is more alkaline being metabolised from foods than acid, can bring untold rewards for your body. High alkaline levels means that your body isn’t going to have to work overtime in the office to try and rid itself of excess acids. Those excess acids can really bring down your body and have been linked to a lot of common illnesses, as well as more serious conditions like cancer.
The fuel which I put in my body ultimately effects how well my engine will run. It is about taking all the acid foods in moderation, and enjoying more of the raw, organic foods which will give the body the boost in vitamins, protein and enzymes that it needs to run at optimum. When it does, the immune system is strong and isn’t weakened by the consequences of too much acid.
A balance of an acid alkaline diet can bring your system into harmony, where it should be. So stock up on the vegetables and fruit and eat your way healthier.
