Alkaline Boosters: Not a Replacement for Alkalizing Diet/Water
The best way to alkalize your body is to eat a consistently
alkalizing diet and drink alkalized water. The following suggestions
are ABSOLUTELY NOT a replacement for a consistent alkaline diet and
water. They are only alkaline boosters to help speed up your healing.
1) STOP EATING ACIDIC FOODS. This is very important. I cannot
overemphasize this point. See the PH residual ash food chart to find
out which foods are acidic and which foods are alkaline.
2) You can alkalize water by squeezing some real juice from lemon or
lime and add it to the drinking water. You can also use an
alkalizing water machine to filter and alkalize the water too.
3) Add Alkalizing Green Drinks to your daily regimen. Some examples
are Greens4life, GreenMagma, and KyoGreen, Wheatgrass.
4) Add Alkalizing Minerals to your daily regimen. Examples of
alkalizing minerals are Calcium, Potassium and Magnesium.
5) Make sure you are drinking the right type of water. Alkalizing
Ionized Water is best because the water clusters are smaller and
easier to absorb. But if budget is an issue, then just use tap water
and run it by a carbon filter like Pur or Brita filter. Absolutely
DO NOT drink Distilled Water or Reverse Osmosis water. These two
processes take out the beneficial minerals in the water during the
purification process. If one drinks these two types of water long
term, it will start to leech the alkalizing minerals from your body,
resulting in more harm than good.
Friendly Warning: Don't alkalize too fast
Human nature being what it is, when I started seeing progress, I got
impatient and started adding more and more alkalizing boosters to my
daily regimen. This is a classic case of MORE doesn't always equal
BETTER. The best way to alkalize is still by eating alkalizing
foods. Alkaline supplements and boosters are really just fine-
tuning.
If your body is detoxifying faster than your body can handle, it can
potentially create more problems for you. There was a short period
when I alkalized too fast and ran into the healing crisis. Symptoms
of healing crisis include things like a headache, muscle ache,
diarrhea, and so frequent bowel movement that I was practically
camping out in the bathroom. I hope everyone avoids my mistake. I
learned my lesson.
I suggest you use alkalizing boosters gradually based on your bowel
tolerance. As my Nutritionist said to me, " You can assist and speed
up healing with an alkalizing diet, alkalizing water, and
appropriate detoxification protocols, but your body will set its own
limits and timetable for healing".
