Optimize Your Health with a pH Balanced Diet (Part 1)

Optimizing your health with a pH balanced diet is the
natural way to obtain the maximum positive health benefit
for the long term. The basic concept of a pH diet is to
maintain the ph balance of nutritional food intake close to
80% alkaline with 20% acidity. The main objective of a pH
diet is to create the equivalent of the pH level in the
bloodstream by introducing alkaline foods into your diet.

Granted for many, the initial idea can be intimidating
because of the foods that have become commonplace in
society are found to be high in acidity. Identifying
readily available sources of alkaline foods is your first
defense in acquiring optimized health. Benefiting the most
from a pH balanced diet can be as simple as becoming aware
of your options when considering your choices of alkaline
foods.

Alkaline foods have an energizing result on the body.
Alkaline foods counteract the acidity we put into our
bloodstream everyday, allowing our bodies to regenerate and
restore damaged cells naturally.

Identifying foods that cause the alkalizing benefit in the
body, you can introduce a healthier diet by complimenting
the pH levels already established in the bloodstream. By
doing so, you have prevented premature aging and illnesses
from developing.

Normal pH balance of the human body is 7.35 to 7.45. Levels
of pH7 and higher are measured as alkaline.

While meats derived from animals are acidic, fresh
vegetables and fruits are considered as stables in a well
thought out pH diet plan.

Vegetables that have a positive effect in your pH diet are
broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, garlic,
green beans, peas, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and peppers,
to state a few. While standing in line for that next
burger, ask if they wouldn't mind; Piling on the veggies.

Vegetables may be acceptable to the adult seeking optimal
health through a balanced pH diet but, our younger
counterparts may think differently. As Mother Nature has
it, she has also provided the perfect remedy. Fruits have
the pH balancing effect on our bodies as well.

Alkaline fruits are: apples, bananas, berries, cantaloupe,
cherries, grapes, lemons, limes, oranges, peaches, pears,
pineapple, raisins, and strawberries to name a few. A
variety of fruits make the perfect snack for any little one
eagerly awaiting for the hand out.

Minerals are also vital to your daily diet. Minerals that
have an alkalizing impact on the body can aid in the
overall balance in your pH diet. These minerals include:
cesium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Because minerals
are essential to your health but, rarely acquired in an
adequate amount through our daily food intake, a balanced
supplement may be in order.

The purpose of a pH balanced diet is to have your alkaline
(fresh vegetables and fruits) diet richer than the acidic
counterpart of your diet. When actively practicing a
suitable pH balanced diet, your body will perform with peak
altitude, giving you the ability to ward off illnesses in a
preventive and natural environment to your body.
