"6 SIMPLE AND EASILY AVAILABLE ALKALINE FOODS"

Did you know that more than half of the foods we consume on a daily basis are acidic?
Red meat, artificial sweeteners, dairy products, sugars and many others acidify your body while
you’re oblivious.
They are locally available and we’d starve without them, right?
Turns out, you can actually do something about it.
What if I told you alkaline foods, those that lower the acidity in your body, are locally available
as well?
This list offers you nothing less, 6 simple and easily available alkaline foods.

6 Simple Alkaline Foods That Are Not Hard to Find

1. Fresh green vegetables
You have heard it already…
“Include green vegetables in your diet.” That’s every health expert’s mantra. It’s not just because
leafy vegetables have minerals that are essential to our bodies, it’s also because they have
alkaline effects on our bodies.
So start (or keep) including spinach, kale, argula, celery, parsley, lettuce, or mustard greens in
your daily intake.

2. Citrus fruits

Ironically, while citrus fruits are believed to be acidic owing to the citric acid they contain, when
inside our bodies, they are alkali.
Talk of oranges, mangos, pineapples, apples and lemons. They are also excellent hyperacidity
relievers.

3. Sea salt and seaweed

No kitchen is complete without sea salt. It’s by default one of the best and easily available
alkaline food additive. It’s no surprise that seaweeds, which grow where sea salt comes from
have 11 times more minerals than vegetables grown on land.
With this two you have a treasure of alkaline-rich additives to supplement your diet.

4. Cruciferous veges

Don’t let the name confuse you. It’s a fancy term for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels
and so on. Cruciferous vegetables are alkaline in nature. And what’s more, you can’t miss them
in a grocery store when shopping for vegetables.
So the next time you’re out shopping, add more cabbages and broccoli to your shopping basket.

5. Root veges

Sweet potatoes, taro roots, lotus roots, carrot and turnips are just a few of the many root
vegetables we have around. Besides being alkali, they have special healing properties that are so
amazing that they have been used in traditional Chinese medicine.
What’s even more is that they don’t take long to cook. Steam them for 20 minutes and they are
ready for consumption.

6. Ginger, onion and garlic

You know them as flavor enhancers. They are the most essential ingredients in any meal and are
even more popular with the Indian recipes.
Even more importantly they have alkaline effects. So the next time you’re preparing some salad,
throw in sliced onions, or add some ginger in your tea. They will do more than flavoring your
meals.

There is No Reason Not to Eat Healthy
It’s true that most foods we can’t help but eat are acidic hence more toxic than beneficial to our bodies.
But with a little care and an arsenal of alkaline foods around you, staying healthy is much easier.
And once you have had an alkaline meal, you can crown the effects with alkaline water
