Foods That Alkalize Your Body

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Here is a list of foods that will help increase your alkalinity and boost the pH level in your body.

  • Alfalfa Grass
  • Almonds
  • Asparagus
  • Avocado
  • Barely Grass
  • Beet
  • Brazil Nuts
  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Carrots
  • Cauliflower
  • Celery
  • Cucumber
  • Green Cabbage
  • Leeks
  • Lettuce
  • Olive Oil
  • Peas
  • Red Radish
  • Spinach
  • Wheat Grass
  • Zucchini

Think of the plate that you are getting ready to have your meal on as a pie chart.  Divide this “pie chart” into a 70/30 ratio.  If 70% of your “pie chart” contains foods listed from the group above you are now moving towards alkalinity and away from acidity.  Simply making this one small change to your diet can greatly increase your pH level.

The Acid – Alkaline PH Scale

The Acid - Alkaline PH Scale

As you can see from the chart above the PH Scale is read from left to right with a PH rating of 0 – 1 being purely acidic (something akin to eating a hole through metal).  On the other end of the scale is a rating of 14 which represents pure alkalinity (these would include items like baking soda and lye).  In the center is 7 which represents neutral. 
 
In a perfect state your blood wants to be more alkaline than acidic.  Just as the average healthy body premature for a human is 98.6F – the ideal (healthy) PH level for the human body is between 7.3 – 7.4. 
 
In his groundbreaking book, “Sick and Tired”, Dr. Robert O. Young chronicled how the proper PH balance provides for a “healthy inner terrain” and how the improper PH balance can lead to illness and disease. 
 
Over the next few days I will offer simple examples of foods and drinks that will help you move towards alkalinity and I will also share with you foods and drinks that create an acidic environment.  I will also show you simple methods that you can use to test your own PH levels.
 
Remember, health is a journey…it is not a destination.
