Defy Age Naturally

A few weeks ago I measured my PH, and I am very happy to report that it is balanced unlike other times that I have tested it. It is most certainly because I have seriously increased the amount of fruits, vegetables and super foods from my list of alkaline foods.

All of the other times that I have done this test, it has always come up as acidic, even when I believed that I was eating a healthy diet.

Maintaining a balanced PH is one of the most important things we can do to enjoy vibrant health and avoid disease. Unfortunately, most people are far too acidic, which creates an environment open to unwanted invaders and ill health.

In fact, many claim it is almost impossible to get cancer when our bodies are consistently alkaline. Furthermore, eating from a list of alkaline foods and super foods to keep us vibrant and younger looking.

Here is a list of Alkaline foods for Optimum health:

Alfalfa - Barley Grass - Beets –
Broccoli – Cabbage – Carrot –
Cauliflower – Celery – collard Greens – Cucumber –
Dulce - Eggplant - Garlic – Green Beans
- Green Peas – Kale – Lettuce – Mushrooms –
Onions - Parsnips – Peas – Pumpkin –

Some of the most acidic foods are:

ice cream – cheese – milk – MSG

Some of the healthiest acidic foods are brown rice, oats, fish, beans and lentils.

Most experts suggest a eating four times more from the list of alkaline foods than from the acidic foods. Don’t get stressed if you don’t achieve this, it’s an ideal to shoot for.

The most important thing we can do is to ensure that the majority of foods that we eat are fruits and vegetables. I love to learn new recipes that are primarily alkalizing.

I am currently at home in America with my family. They are fairly healthy eaters compared to the general population, but could definitely use to increase their ingredients from the list of alkaline foods. Last night I made them falafel and salad.

For the falafel I combined chick peas, onion, garlic, cumin, raisins, dried basil, chilli powder, organic stock, olive oil, and sea salt. I rolled them into balls and baked them on a low heat.

My salad combined spinach, and asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots cut up into small pieces with olive oil and fresh lemon juice,

I served this meal with humus and wine.

My family absolutely loved it and it was a highly alkalizing dinner. The only acidifying ingredients were the chick peas and the wine.
