Alkalizing For Life
See your health in a whole new light! | |
|
When the pH level in one’s body is unbalanced, almost any area of the body can be
affected; nervous system (depression), cardiovascular system (heart disease), muscles
(fatigue), skin (aging), etc. Even obesity is a sign of over-acidity, a normal body response
which protects vital organs from damaging acids and their effects. Conversely,
in an alkaline environment, the body reaches an ideal weight and corrects negative
health challenges naturally.
Alkaline food and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients the body needs
to neutralize acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, and tissues, while strengthening
immune function and organ systems. For this reason, the Alkalarian Diet was developed
to guide those who wish to regain balance and vigor in the body. Some people
may choose to follow the Alkalarian Diet completely, while others slowly transition
themselves and their family. For many, the change is not an overnight event, but a
process. Taste buds that have been jaded by the toxic effect of sugar, salt, and other
artificial flavors may take some time to adjust and appreciate the subtler taste of vegetables.
Some individuals opt to add an alkaline food and eliminate an acidic food each
week, until reaching the goal of an alkaline diet. The following list shows examples of
food transitions one might make:
