Reduce Acidity With Foods

The Standard American Diet (S.A.D), is one that promotes acidity and inflammation in our bodies. The over consumption of highly processed foods, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and chemical laden household, beauty and body products lead to poor digestion, poor nutrient absorption and toxic loads on our liver and other systems. These are some of the more prevalent reasons why the rates of diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity and cancer have been escalating for decades.

However, by adjusting our diet, we can in fact, create a healing environment in our body. How amazing is that? I am a firm believer that our body is perfect, and knows how to heal itself, if we just give it half a chance.

Foods that are the highest in promoting alkalinity (the opposite of acidic) are: mushrooms, citrus, dates, raisins, spinach, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, kale, jicama, broccoli, oregano, garlic, ginger, green beans, endive, cabbage, celery, red beet, watermelon, figs and ripe bananas.
