The Alkaline Nutrition Guide To Balance Body pH Levels

The following guidelines are a valuable source regarding your first steps to an alkaline nutrition. They will help you to understand the basic rules of an alkaline lifestyle and will tell you how to implement them into your daily life. Alkaline nutrition assures balanced body chemistry and a proper acid-alkaline ratio.nn1. Don’t let a huge breakfast slow you down The first meal of the day often causes high levels of acidity. Foods like pancakes, waffles, muffins, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, sweet rolls, toast, maple syrup, honey, coffee, orange juice, etc., contain huge amounts of sugars and simple carbohydrates which over-acidify the blood and tissues. This creates a terrain that promotes the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi – the great decomposers of cells and tissues in the human body. What a way to start the day! Also traditional high-protein breakfast foods like eggs, sausage, bacon, omelets, etc., compromise the terrain and ultimately promote the growth of yeast and fungi. In addition, all meats, especially pork, are high in parasite activity. In contrast to that a favorite breakfast for many people new to the alkalizing diet is soup, millet or brown basmati rice with fresh avocado and tomato slices, soaked almonds, sunflower sprouts and flax oil. Vegetable soups and juices such as SuperGreens in the morning offer a low carbohydrate, high fiber, and delicious way to start your day. Blood sugar levels are not sent soaring, causing an increase in blood insulin and a burden on your pancreas. This is an excellent way to start the day!nn2. Add liberal amounts of all kinds of vegetables and grasses to your diet The chlorophyll (a plants “blood”) contained in plants and grasses is identical to the blood of humans, except for one atom, and therefore rich in nutrients for our body. Fresh vegetables and grasses are an excellent source of the alkaline substances that are anti-yeast, anti-fungal, and anti-mycotoxic. Green foods such as wheat grass and barley grass are some of the lowest-calorie, lowest-sugar, and most nutrient-rich foods on the planet. Juiced, green vegetables are very cleansing and loaded with fiber. Basic rule of thumb: vegetables all day long! Add three teaspoons of SuperGreens by InnerLight (contains 49 different greens) powder blended into 3 liters of water every day. nn3. Avoid all yeast-containing foods You should especially avoid baked goods such as bread, muffins, pies, cakes and pastries. In the US, one out of nine women will develop breast cancer. Contrary to that, Japanese have a much lower rate of this form of cancer – and research links it with the ingestion of baked goods with bakers or brewers yeast. Research also clearly links diets with yeasty or fermented breads to gall and kidney stones and arthritis. nn4. Eat legumes, grains, sprouts and low carbohydrate vegetables Complex carbohydrates are highly acid forming in the body and should not exceed 20% of the diet, so eat them in moderation. Good low carbohydrate vegetables include asparagus, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, green beans, green peppers, spinach, kale lettuce, okra, onions, garlic, parsley, radishes, and squash. Red new potatoes are the best choice in the potato family and should be used sparingly.nn5. Consume less acid-forming foods You should consume as less as possible acid-forming foods, which are all animal products (including meat and milk products), refined grains and yeast products, and most fruits. These include pork, veal, most fish, beef, organ meats, ice cream, butter, margarine, mushrooms of all kinds, algae, corn and all corn products, yeast-containing vegetable broth, coffee, tea, wine, beer, soda pop, cider, yeast products, soy sauce, ketchup, chicken, turkey, eggs, shrimp, lobster, oysters, hot dogs corned beef, pastrami, pepperoni, rice, potatoes, pasta, breads, cheeses, milk, buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, artificial sweeteners, candy, gum, pies, cakes, donuts, and chocolate.nn6. Feature healthy (not animal!) proteins Animal protein foods provide more protein than is required by the human body. Our bodies are only 7 % protein. In contrast to cow’s milk, which is protein rich, human mother’s milk is only 5% protein (i.e. better suited to the body’s protein requirements). In addition, animal protein foods often contribute factors to the body which are unneeded and then represent a challenge to dispose of (e.g., saturated fats). Feature protein foods such as broccoli, spinach, sprouts, garbanzo beans, tofu or fresh fish with scales and fins.nn7. Drink plenty of alkaline water Ideally you should drink one gallon (4 liters) or more of good, structured water each day. Distilled or purified water (e.g. purified with InnerLight’s SimplyPure Whole Home Water Purification System) are more neutral and can be brought into the alkaline range with drops of Prime pH. nn
