The Benefits of an Alkaline Lifestyle
Think of your body like a car engine. Just like cars need the right fuel to run smoothly, your body needs the right balance to stay healthy.
Living an alkaline lifestyle means making choices that keep your body's pH level balanced, similar to how you maintain the right fuel mix for your car. When you eat plenty of fruits, veggies, and healthy foods, it's like giving your body premium fuel. This helps your body function at its best, keeping you feeling energized and ready to go.
But if you overload on junk food or sugary snacks, it's like filling your car with low-quality fuel. This can make your body struggle to perform well and might leave you feeling sluggish or unwell.
So, living an alkaline lifestyle is about treating your body like a high-performance machine, giving it the right fuel to stay in top shape!
Nutrients found in supplements, alkalizing foods, and water can bring the body back to balance. These vitamins, minerals, and herbs infuse the body with new energy, vitality, and better health.
Alkaline foods and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients the body needs to neutralize acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, tissues, and cells.
When pH balance inside the body is “out of balance” the body tries to correct that sensitive pH balance. That process shows up as uncomfortable symptoms, including colds, allergies, diseases, viruses, and excess weight gain (or stubborn weight loss).
When the body’s pH level is in balance, the body reaches ideal weight and corrects negative health challenges naturally.
Transitioning to a more alkaline healthy diet requires a shift in attitude towards food. The important point to remember is that small changes go a long way. Add more alkaline foods to your diet gradually.
Ways to shift into an alkaline lifestyle:
1) Reduce the consumption of sugar and products made from sugar, including beverages and alcohol.
2) Avoid processed foods and condiments. A lot of sugar hides in dressings and condiments!
3) Avoid dairy, meats, fried foods and fast foods. These are loaded with chemicals and inflammatories.
4) Increase your consumption of raw vegetables and raw fresh fruits (without sugar). You should include raw vegetables in every meal. If your breakfast is so small that you only eat toast or cereal, stop eating toast and take fresh fruits or vegetable juices instead. If your lunches are usually consist of sandwiches, try to substitute it with a raw salad or a vegetable juice. Have a large salad before you eat a heavy entree at dinner. This way, you will be sure to eat all of the salad instead of finding yourself too full to finish it.
5) Focus on gut health and get on a great probiotic with prebiotics system that works with your body in a holistic way. Ask me about the supplements I personally recommend.
6) Don't forget to hydrate. Drink at least half of your body weight in ounces of good quality of water each day. I love a high quality Alkaline Water, but BEWARE… most of the ones sold at stores are processed with CHEMICALS to reach pH levels for marketing. I drink an Alkaline water that reaches alkalinity WITHOUT the use of chemicals. Ask me about it if you’d like details on where to buy it.
Creating the proper alkaline balance within your body will bring you increased quality of life!! You'll start seeing immediate improvements in your health, plus, your energy will increase and your concentration will be stronger. You'll build strength, stamina, and resistance to diseases. Your entire body will function more efficiently just like it was meant to do! Like a supercar!
