If you would like to try the alkaline diet, the 5 tips listed below will help you to design an alkaline diet sooner than you ever thought possible.
1. Eat a Big Salad Every Day
Salads are the single best way to get more healthy vegetables into your alkaline diet. Where most people go wrong is that they either drown the poor veggies in a high-calorie salad dressing, or they stick with dull iceberg lettuce. Instead, add a variety of vegetables, and find a dressing that is based on olive oil.
2. Build Soups Around Vegetables Rather Than Meat, Cream, or Noodles
At best, soups are tasty, filling, and low in calories. Nonetheless, many people waste this opportunity to have a wholesome meal by choosing fattening, high-calorie soups that consist of meat or white-flour noodles in a creamy base.
3. Eat a Smoothie
All you have to do is mix frozen fruit with a little stevia extract as a natural sweetener. For still more nutrition, stir in a few spoonfuls of alkaline-forming green food powder.
4. Don’t Overcook Vegetables
To save as many nourishing nutrients as possible, steam or lightly stir-fry vegetables instead of boiling them. If you do cook them in water, use the nutrient-rich broth in to make soup.
5. Have a Healthy Breakfast
For too many people, breakfast means a sweet roll eaten while driving to work. But even if you make time for a sit-down breakfast, the food you’re eating is probably making your body more acidic. Fortunately, there are some healthy alkaline diet alternatives. If you like hot cereals, try oatmeal or quinoa. Add a few raisins for a bit of sweetness, and a little flax seed oil or flax meal to increase your intake of omega-3 fats. Or make a nutritious omelet by adding alkaline-producing vegetables such as bell peppers and onions.
Time to Take Action
As you have learned, an adopting an alkaline diet doesn’t mean that you need a Ph.D. in biology. All you really need is a refrigerator full of alkalizing foods, the right information, and the will to improve your health.
