Getting More Alkaline Into Your Diet

The PH miracle diet has revolutionized the perspective on eating. The diet aspires to achieve ph
levels of 20% acid and 80% alkaline in food intake. This aims at equaling the ph levels of the
bloodstream, which bends towards the alkaline. This can be challenging for quite a few people,
as the food they usually tend to indulge in is considered mostly acidic. It thus becomes
important to recognize sources of alkaline content, construct a list of such foods and add them
to your PH miracle diet.

Alkalizing foods neutralize the acidity present in the bloodstream, thereby giving the body a
sensation of rejuvenation. They regenerate and restore cells in the system and refresh the body,
thus acting as a “breath of fresh air”.

Repeated intake of food high in acid content causes premature break down of the body. These “acid bombs” are carried throughout the system by the bloodstream, causing harm and posing a threat and danger to the body.

We can optimize the PH level in our blood by identifying what foods have an alkalizing property, and integrating it in our diet in higher amounts. Levels 7 and greater are considered alkaline, the levels of human blood being between 7.35-7.45.

The simplest way to get alkaline into the system is by eating fruits and vegetables. Some
alkalizing vegetables are: barley grass, alfalfa, beet greens, beets, carrots, cabbage, broccoli,
chard greens, cauliflower, celery, collard greens, dandelions, cucumber, green beans, garlic,
egg plant, green peas, kohlrabi, kale, lettuce, mustard greens, onions, nightshade veggies,
peppers, peas, parsnip, radishes, pumpkin, rutabaga, spinach, sea veggies, sweet potato,
sprouts, watercress, tomato, wild greens and what grass.

Some alkalizing fruits are: avocados, apricots, apples, berries, bananas, blackberries, cherries,
cantaloupe, coconut, cherries, currants, figs, dates, grapes, honeydew, grapefruit, limes,
lemons, muskmelons, oranges, nectarines, peaches, pineapple, pears, raspberries, raisins,
strawberries, rhubarb, tangerines, strawberries, tropical fruits, tomatoes and watermelon.

In the process of addition of more alkaline in ones diet, protein can pose a problem. All animal
derived protein is acidic. But there are proteins that are alkalizing. Some are almonds, millet,
chestnuts, tofu, whey protein powder and tempeh.
