You carefully check your garden soil to see whether it is more acidic or alkaline before putting in costly flowers, so why would you not do the same for your body before feeding it? Just as some plants will not survive in soil that is too acidic or alkaline, the body tends to be healthiest when its internal pH is slightly alkaline.
When you’re in the garden, you can change acidity and alkalinity by amending the soil with nutrients capable of changing its pH. Similarly, the body’s acid-alkaline balance can be altered by avoiding low-alkaline foods.
The following three kinds of food are all common causes of a low-alkaline diet once they get inside your body. They should be limited or avoided on the alkaline diet. Take note of the fact that many of them have also been associated with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and other health problems!
Fried Foods
The processed white flour used to coat fried foods is acidifying inside the body, and then you use the worst saturated fats to fry it. Finally, consider the fact that some of the most commonly fried foods are bad for you to begin with, and you understand why fried foods are an all-around bad idea for the alkaline diet.
Baked Goods
They may be hard to resist, but almost all baked goods are loaded with sugar, cheap fats, and artificial ingredients. Besides, they are made using processed white flour unless you make certain to purchase something made with 100 percent whole grains. These foods provide little fiber or nutritional value for your body, but they can do a great deal of harm.
Soft Drinks
These fizzy drinks are loaded with sugar. Most are also made with phosphoric acid, which makes them still more acid-forming. Zero-calorie options are not any better, as they are made with acid-forming artificial sweeteners.
If you are wondering how you will avoid all of these low-alkaline diet foods while still eating meals that are satisfying, think of alkaline-forming options that can fill in for your favorite foods on this list. Give it some time and you will find yourself so vibrant and full of energy that you won’t mind saying goodbye to anything on this list!
