Alkaline Diet Recipes

Welcome to an article about alkaline diet recipes. First, a minute background info on the alkaline diet and then we can get into a few recipes. The alkaline diet was discovered by Dr. Robert Young. Through his study of the blood he found that salutary blood was a direct reflection of a salutary or alkaline diet. So he basically considered foods to be either alkalizing or acid causing. He found that when a someone eats foods that are primarily alkalizing the body as a whole runs at an optimum level.

The Alkaline Diet Recipes are recipes that are designed to alkalize the body and therefore would consist only of food that is alkalizing to the body.

It is recommended that you start of your day with alkaline diet recipes that can be blended into a drink. The idea behind this is that the liquid form of these nutrients is more assuredly assimilated by the body. One of the alkaline diet recipes is as follows:

Super Alkalizing Green Smoothie

1 Cup of Good Water: alkaline water if available(fresh spring water is typically alkaline)

1 cup of organic blueberries

2 large unripe bananas

2handfuls of spinach,kale, chard, or some dark green leafy vegetable

seaweed-arame, kelp, dulse

1 shot of wheat grass juice

Combine the ingredients in a blender with some ice cubes. Mix thoroughly, and enjoy. A yummy start to your list of alkaline diet recipes, this smoothie will supercharge your day.

The next of the alkaline diet recipes is my personal favorite. It is very simple to make and quite tasty.

Spring Salad

Organic Spring Salad Mix

Add anyone greens you lie (kale, chard, spinach, collard)

cucumbers

onions

Summer black radishes

Toss the salad how you like and use this dressing.

Olive oil

fresh squeezed lemon juice

table spoon sea salt

dried crushed basil

dried crushed oregano

The amounts for the above method can be adjusted to your liking. The dressing tastes best when it is allowed to sit a day before you use it. Both of these alkaline diet recipes are highly alkalizing. They include very alkalizing ingredients.

Another thing that I like to to with my salads and other recipes, is to add freshly sprouted sprouts to them. Sprouting is an easy and highly cheap way to add super alkalizing and biogenic foods to your alkaline diet recipes. Mung beans, broccoli, and lentils are all very good choices for sprouting. To sprout all you do is soak seeds in a jar overnight. Then you rinse the seeds and drain them 2-3 times a day for around 7 days. Keep the sprouts in a dark room or covered with No light until the last day. Then set them in a spot where they can get moderate sunlight for about six hours. You will consideration that they start to turn green from as they begin to furnish chlorophyll. Finally, add the sprouts to your favorite alkaline diet recipes and enjoy!

Alkaline Diet

Do you know what an alkaline diet is? Are you struggling with those stubborn last five to ten pounds that just won't seem to go away no matter how hard you try? Do you exercise, watch your calorie, fat, sugar and sodium intake meticulously yet the pounds still remain?

An alkaline diet could just be the answer. Alkalizing your body can be the key to protecting yourself from disease, losing the stubborn extra weight and addition your energy.

According to emerging science, our bodies are designed to function optimally at a slightly alkaline pH level.

Unfortunately, most of the foods we consume today make our bodies acidic. Learning to identify the signs of an acidic body and taking steps to alkalize it are the keys to not only protecting your body from disease, but to optimizing your total health, losing the weight, and revitalizing your energy.

Understand that this is not a new science. In 1933, Dr. William Howard Hay published a groundbreaking book titled "A New health Era" in which he theorized that all disease is caused by autotoxation due to acid accumulation in the body. Earlier in the 1800's, paramount scientist Louis Pasteur, whose works initiated the germ theory, which many hold as true today, that we catch a cold or the flu when we are exposed to germs, contradicted his own life's work by proclaiming at his deathbed that the microbe (germ) is nothing, the terrain is all things - meaning the polluted environment within the body is at the root of disease. We need to be on an alkaline diet.

More recently, Dr. Robert Young, Ph.D, a microbiologist and author of the book "The pH Miracle" says, "There is only one sickness and only one disease: over-acidification of the body due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking."

Dr. Young's study suggests that our optimal body pH should be at 7.365 on the pH scale, which is slightly alkaline. When our balance is off, even slightly, just like our body temperature, our health suffers. As the body becomes too acidic it loses it's potential to Ant. Eject and use necessary nutrients, including proteins, minerals, and vitamins. As a corollary energy output slows down, and we sense fatigue, weakness and a lack of muscle tone.

Diet is not the only thing that causes over-acidification to our bodies. Environmental toxins, designate medication, recreational drugs and cigarettes also originate acidity in the blood and tissues. Even chronic stress, lack of sleep and negative thoughts and feelings can conduce to acid build-up.

An alkaline diet can rid your body of aches and pains, low energy, poor digestion and disease. addition your intake of salads and drinking fresh-squeezed vegetable juices is a great way to begin to exact an acidic environment within your body. If you suffer from any of these symptoms, you may want to begin alkalizing your system. I personally start my day by drinking "SuperGreens". It verily is breathtaking the contrast you start to feel in only a integrate of days. My energy has increased dramatically. There verily is something to an alkaline diet.
