How to Alkalize Your Body
Alkalizing your body simply means reducing its acidity, and you can do that by eating the right kind of foods.
There are a lot of benefits to alkalizing your body. An alkalized body often results in more nights of peaceful, deep sleep; an increase in energy; and a reduction in weight.
Alkalizing your body also promotes mental alertness, reduces candida growth, improves memory, generates healthier tissues, ensures proper functioning of your cells, supports a healthier heart, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases and muscle degeneration.
Alkalizing your body is a gift that you can give yourself.
Here are eight ways to do it.
- Not all acidic foods are bad.
This may seem counter-productive since you are trying to reduce acid levels in your body, but not all acidic foods are bad for you. Case in point: lemon.
Lemon may be an acidic food, but it helps to alkalize your body instead of harm it.
Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to a glass of water and drink it first thing in the morning. I recommend only DoTERRA certified pure therapeutic grade oils for this and can help you get started with the best oils for your health goals.
This will increase your body’s metabolism and help detoxify all the acids and toxins in your body.
- Devour the greens.
Another great way to alkalize your body is by adding green vegetables and fruits in your diet. Try a simple green salad with olive oil and sprinkle with some black pepper for seasoning.
- A for alkalizing. A for almonds.
Try adding unsalted and raw almonds to your diet as a snack. Almonds contain naturally occurring alkaline, magnesium, and calcium, which help your body to balance your body’s blood sugar and acidity.
- Don’t choose the cow.
Switch your milk to non-dairy, like almond milk or organic, NON GMO soy milk, because cow’s milk promotes more acid growth.
- Workout.
Exercise is vital to alkalizing your body. Even just fifteen minutes of exercise moves the acidic foods in your body to a position where it is easier to eliminate them from your body.
- Meditate.
Meditate daily in fresh air or invest in essential oils or a salt lamp.
Essential oils are known for purifying and cleansing your body. Investing in a Himalayan sea salt lamp will prove beneficial toward alkalizing your body because it will cleanse and purify it by producing negative ions and cancelling out the positive ions in your surroundings and in your body.
- Quit the meat.
Try to consume as little meat as possible. Better yet, start a completely plant-based diet. Meat tends to leave residual acid in your body even after it has been eliminated. More plant based meals during the week will benefit your hormones and give you more energy.
- No more sugar. No more soda.
Cut out all alcohol, sweet drinks, carbonated drinks and sugar from your diet because they are nothing but empty calories. Choose water or green tea instead because they will detoxify your body from acidity.
An alkalized body is a balanced, happy body.
Try integrating a few of these into your daily routine and experience the difference of an alkalized body!
Have you been feeling overwhelmed with stress, worry and disturbed sleep?
You can ignore the root cause of the problem by drinking red wine. You can indulge in all the delicious home baked cakes made with love by your kids, but guess what?
The longer you ignore the root cause of your hormone hell, the worse the whispers will become. Ignore them long enough and your body will start to shout. You will end up at the menopause with severe headaches, brain fog, skin rashes and feeling ugly.
Your body does not like being ignored. If you are not sleeping well your hormones will also be in havoc. The more you worry, the less you digest and the more you will become accidentally overweight.
It’s a vicious cycle that wreaks havoc with hormones and digestion. The two are closely linked and will also impact how you feel. This makes you feel lousy about yourself and your life. You end up feeling unlovable and a long way from beautiful and sexy.
