What To Emphasize In An Alkaline Diet
Minerals are very alkalizing. So you want to emphasize
your vegetables, especially the leafy greens. Suggested servings
of vegetables are 7 to 9 servings a day.
Use a variety of vegetables each day. Choose different colors
as well. Also for health: It is wise to eat most of your vegetables
raw each day. 70% raw to about 20% to 30% cooked.
You can eat small portions of meat/flesh protien even though
it is acid. You just emphasize the vegetables in your meals.
If you do eat meat, use organically grown as much as possible
and do make sure to eat some fish each week.
So your plate may look something like this on an alkaline
diet: it is largely covered with vegetables, with some of
those being green vegetables. Then you could choose either a
protein source or a carbohydrate (starch) such as a potato,
a serving of beans or sprouted bread. (At times you could go
with a grain, but don't eat acid ones every day.)
For good digestion, you would not mix your proteins and starches
at the same meal. They take different digestive enzymes and any
meat meals are digested much slower than other meals.
Eat an alkaline fruit or two each day. Examples are Apples,
Apricots, Sour Cherries, Dried Figs, Lemons, Limes, Oranges and
Peaches.
Be sure to get some good oils in your diet each day. Some
sources: Olive oil, Oily fish, primrose oil, borage oil, flaxseed
oil. Raw seeds and nuts will also provide some oils.
In addition, I suggest that you get a juicer and have
a fresh vegetable juice each day. It is a good way to get
in all those 7 to 9 servings of vegetables and it is one of the
best ways to stay alkaline.This will give you added minerals
and enzymes as well. It will really build your health,
as you often do not get the nutrition you need from foods grown
on depleted soils.

For those who cannot juice or are traveling, I have added a good
source the nutrition that will help you become alkaline and stay
alkaline. It is called Green
Vibrance and is a green super food powder.
It also comes in capsules. It contains probiotics, antidioxants
and 40 different nutritional sources.
