All About The Alkaline Diet
If you’re interested in trying the alkaline diet, the five tips in this article will help you to customize an alkaline diet sooner than you ever thought possible.
1. Have a 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 cover the poor greens in a fattening dressing, or they use nothing but dull iceberg lettuce. Instead, incorporate a variety of vegetables, and use a dressing that is based on olive oil.
2. Build Soups Around Vegetables, Not Meat, Cheese, or Noodles
At their best, soups are delicious, filling, and low in calories. Nevertheless, many people waste this opportunity to have a healthful meal by choosing fattening, high-calorie soups that consist of meat or white-flour noodles in a creamy base.
3. Enjoy a Smoothie
All you have to do is mix frozen fruit with a little stevia extract as a natural sweetener. For even more nutrition, mix in a few spoonfuls of alkaline-producing green food powder.
4. Don’t Overcook Vegetables
To save as many vital nutrients as possible, steam or lightly stir-fry vegetables instead of boiling them. If you do cook them in water, use the nutrient-filled broth in another recipe.
5. Make Breakfast Healthy
For too many people, breakfast consists of a sweet roll eaten behind the wheel. However, even if you make time for a real 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 cereal, 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 consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. Or make a healthy omelet by adding alkaline-forming vegetables such as bell peppers and onions.
Time to Take Action
As you have learned from this article, an following an alkaline diet doesn’t require a Ph.D. in biochemistry. All you really need is a refrigerator filled with alkalizing foods, the right information, and the determination to improve your health.
