Alkalinity for YOUR Health
In today's society there has never been so much medicine, but yet so much less health. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, our present day children will not out live us due to Diabetes and Obesity. In addition to this, the three top killers, heart disease, stroke, and cancer are on the rise. Something has to change!
Before things can change with the state of human health on this planet, we all must realize that just as the earth has an external environment that has to be kept clean and clear for fresh air and pure water, each of us has an internal environment that must also be kept clean and clear. We have internal rivers and streams, veins, arteries, and lymphatic vessels running through our bodies that must also be kept running pure; which is vital to optimum health and strength.
The blood, tissues and organs of our bodies are kept in a delicate state of pH balance which is set as alkaline at 7.365. Many of us already know that a fish aquarium must be kept at a proper pH or the fish will die. Think of all of the cells in your body as being suspended in your own body "ocean". The health of your cells will be determined by the environment they swim in . Those of you who enjoy your own swimming pools must also check the pH of the water to maintain its clean quality where bacteria cannot grow. Just as your internal body temperature is held at 98.6, you are engineered to be alkaline by design.
By adopting a green, plant based diet, this will help you get closer to an alkaline state. Try and incorporate spinach, kale, barley grass, wheat grass and cabbage into your eating regime. This doesn't have to be boring with all of the different foods on the market today - Kale Chips are my new favorite food! You can also toss spinach and kiwi into your favorite clean protein shake. If you can get a clean start to your day, chances are likely that you will continue to make healthy choices.
