However, the foods we eat add to this acidity and the fat in
our body stores the additional acid, which results in
overweight problems and an unhealthy body. There are specific
foods that are alkaline and help to flush the acid and fat from
the body. These alkaline foods replace the acid and rapid weight
loss is inevitable.
Here are some foods from the alkaline food list:
1.Vegetables
2.Wheat Grass
3.Fruit (grapefruit, lemon, lime are good)
4.Nuts (almond)
5.Fish oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil and liver oil
6.Grains - Buckwheat, quinoa, spelt
7.Condiments - red chili pepper, sea salt, most herbs and
spices
8.Goat milk
9.Beans and legumes
10.Pumpkin seeds and Sesame seeds
In addition to these foods, water is very essential in our
daily diet. We can also supplement our food list with products
that already contain all these ingredients above. There is a
product called Energy Green that has all these alkaline foods
as part of its ingredients so there would be no need to consume
each item on the food list - there would be everything all in
one product.
The body requires more attention to survive longer and remain
in good health. Our health is a product of what we eat. Taking
back control of our health and weight requires more awareness
of our food consumption.
Here are some strong acidic foods to avoid or eat in very low
moderation:
1.Dried fruit
2.Mustard
3.White sugar
4.Soy Sauce
5.Cashews and peanuts
6.Barley, corn and rye
7.Beef, organ meat and pork
8.Cottage cheese
9.Ice cream
10.Whey protein powder
The key to taking back our health is education and knowledge
about food intake and its effect on the body. Weight loss is
the primary goal of most people, but pursuing a weight loss
diet will not necessarily meet the long-term goal of keeping
the weight off. Healthy eating and moderate exercise should
become a lifestyle. Taking a supplement is also recommended if
the foods we eat don't contain all the right amounts of
alkaline to assist in healthy living.
Learn all you can about the effects of alkaline versus acid in
the body. Here are some effects that will give you a head
start:
1.Acid -can cause overweight problems, indigestion, acid
reflux, loss of energy, stores the fat
2.Alkaline- gives more energy, natural and safe weight loss,
eliminates chronic digestive problems, regulate blood sugar,
strengthen the immune system, gets rid of the acid
Acid overload drains so much of our energy that the body
doesn't have enough energy to fight off viruses and disease. In
other words, the immune system is weakened. More so, when the
body is overly acid there is more vulnerability to germs,
yeast, bacteria, molds and fungi. Why? Because all these
microorganisms thrive in acidity! In an alkaline environment
they are weakened and cannot multiply as well. Therefore, by
keeping the body alkaline it can prevent colds, the flu, and
many other illnesses.
To protect against acid buildup, the body begins to create and
store fat. Even if you are on a weight loss diet and you
exercise, your body will try to hold on to this fat because it
is important for protection against acids. That is why many
people who restore alkalinity in their body find it incredibly
easier to lose weight.
There are so many weight loss pills available today. Hoodia is
a very popular one. However, more pills are not the solution.
The true way to lose weight is to do so naturally and with
permanent results and a healthier body.
