SIMONNE HOLM shows us why eating alkaline food is not only a diet, but is also a lifestyle.
Alkaline eating cleanses and purifies the body, neutralizes excess acids and balances the pH levels (the acid-alkaline measurement), which improve digestion, skin tone, mood and weight loss.
Make your diet plant-based, with lots of pulses and grains, although don’t eat too much fruit – certainly not for juicing as that is very acidic.
Focus on 75% alkaline food and 25% acidic food, which will keep the body well balanced.
Think about eating as Mother Nature intended.
Too much acidic food over a long period leads to a body out of balance, e.g. sugar, meat, soda, coffee, fast food etc.
Thoughts, stress and negative emotions can produce even more acid than acidic foods or beverages.
You may moderate your mind and emotions by practising meditation.
Breathing exercises are also helpful to regulate your nervous system, sleep problems and tension.
Begin by adding the four most important alkaline energy food groups daily:
- water
- omega oils
- chlorophyll
- Defalt salt (natural not processed)
A balanced pH-level is necessary for the body, if we want to keep a wholesome state of health and avoid lifestyle diseases.
