If you are in an acidic state, the first step is to eat more alkalinizing vegetables, fruits, spices and lentils.
Here are some more suggestions on how to alkalize your body chemistry:
- Strive for two cups of alkalinizing greens (kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, collards or endive) at both lunch and dinner.
- Start your day by enjoying a breakfast of alkaline fruits or oatmeal while limiting high protein foods
- Drink the juice of one-half lime or lemon in 6-8 ounces of water a few times during the day.
- Have a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in 6-8 ounces of water before and/or after meals.
- Add lentils, ginger, yams and sweet potatoes to your diet on a regular basis.
- Add miso and seaweed to soups and other dishes.
- Replace wheat and white rice with more alkalizing grains, such as oats, quinoa and wild rice.
- Enjoy liberal amounts of fruit, especially watermelon.
- If you suffer from gas, bloating, or weak digestion, eat cooked fruits and vegetables and consume small amounts of fresh juices.
It can take a while for your body chemistry to change – be patient and persistent. It takes consistent, persistent actions to produce consistent, persistent results. You’re worth the wait!
