Written by admin on June 12, 2008 – 4:09 pm
What does “to Alkalize your body” mean? Well, it’s the opposite of Acidic. Most of us probably have an acidic pH level in our body. Remember those litmus papers from high school lab? Well we can use those to test our urine or saliva to see what our pH level is. We ideally want to score at least in the 6-7 range. This post will get into how to alkalize your body.
What causes an acidic level?:
- coffee
- meat
- dairy
- beer
- aspartame
- chocolate
- vinegar
- soda
Now if we want to alkalize the body we need to know what to eat instead.
What creates an alkaline level?:
- leafy greens
- lemons (tricky because before entering your body they are acidic)
- olive oil
- most fruits and vegetables
- herbal teas
- fish

It is now known that a more alkaline pH level is most desirable in order to loose weight and keep it off and ward off disease. Obesity is actually linked to an acidic pH level. This is because acid is a waste product of our body after it uses energy and then it needs to get out of our body by either sweating, urinating, etc. If we are fueling our body with acidic foods and liquids the acid/alkaline balance is out of whack and the acid builds up as fat.
