Acid alkaline foods are great to keep the proper balance of your body. It keeps our inner terrain from going haywire and making us sick. Acidity is the main problem of the body when it comes to imbalance. If we take in a lot of acidic food in our body, our inner structure will react to it, making us sick. Only acid alkaline foods can help restore the balance of our body. Alkaline foods will help restore the balance that the acidity has wrought.

It was not long ago that I turned 31. I never thought that I can be so unhealthy because I was only 31. But I realized that I am so unhealthy I cannot walk to work anymore without feeling fatigued. My fatigued progressed into a general feeling of illness. Plus I also felt symptoms from major illnesses that I never had before. This really hampered my performance at home and in the office.

I asked my doctor what I should do. He gave me vitamins and minerals and he added that I should check out a proper alkaline diet program to help me get back on my feet. I tried the multivitamins for a week and it did me no good. I even tried to exercise and diet, but the crash diet I did and the crash exercise was no use. I still felt much more fatigued and ill. Much more than before.

So I gave alkaline diet a try. I looked for an alkaline diet list and tried out some acid alkaline foods. In just one week, I felt healthier and energetic. I couldn't believe it at first, but there I was already playing sports again.

Let me tell you some of the steps I took to get me healthy again.

1. I avoided a lot of unhealthy habits like excessive drinking and smoking. Drinking can cause liver cancer among other illnesses. While smoking can cause cancer among other lung diseases. After I quit both, I felt a surge of energy in my body. I felt healthier and I was immediately able to walk to my office without fatigue.

2. I eat fruits and vegetables. I tried to force myself to eat fruits and vegetables because I was not really a fan as I am a meat eater. Surprisingly, I was able to appreciate this kind of diet. Not only did fruits and vegetables give me the necessary vitamins and minerals naturally, I also felt cleansed of toxins.

3. I also tried to alkalize my water by putting lemon or lime in it. Alkalized water helped me lose a bit of weight while it maintained the pH balance of my body internally.

”Do I HAVE to do a pre-cleanse?”

“ Is a pre-cleanse truly necessary?”

“ If I’m going to do this program, I’d prefer to dive into the cleanse…thank you very much.”

I hear it all the time! Well, I’m here to tell you Divas, there are tremendous benefits to pre-cleanse!

But first let’s talk about the body’s pH.

The body’s pH is measured on a scale of 0 – 14. Midrange at 7 is where the

pH is balanced. Anything below 7 is acidic and a state where your body

does not function as designed. Above 7 is Alkaline. Alkaline is the state in

which your body thrives. Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment.

Acidic fat cells melt away.

Most American’s consume highly acidic foods (fast food, processed food,

meat, coffee, soda, beer, wine, dairy, sweets – cookies, candy, cake, lots of

high sugar fruits). And many of us live fast-paced and stressful lives which

are you guessed it…hugely acidic.

The body has a reserve of buffers that aid in neutralizing acids. These

buffers are calcium, magnesium, and potassium. When the buffers are

depleted, the body will begin stealing and storing. It leaches calcium from

your bones (we call osteoporosis) or it stuffs excess acids in your fat cells.

YUCK! And get this…the only way these acidic fat cells go away is via

consumption of alkaline liquids and foods. For many who have struggled

to lose weight – herein lies the beauty of alkalizing the body!

So back to the question at hand: Why pre-cleanse?!

A pre-cleanse is a gradual process which brings more alkaline foods – (foods

with higher water content into the body). The notion of making gradual

changes is typically easier for your body to make adjustments. Your body

appreciates a slow transition rather than throwing it into a state of shock!

A pre-cleanse lessens the chances that you’ll experience a healing crisis

(nausea, headaches, flu like feelings, dizziness, rashes, etc). And more

importantly, your chances of staying with this program for the long haul

are vastly increased!

Are you ready to get started with your pre-cleanse?

THE DETOX PRE-CLEANSE in 7 Steps!

• Step 1: EEK Meat! Let it go over this period. First get rid of beef

and pork, next chicken and then turkey. Finally ocean fish. Opt for

tofu and raw nuts and seeds. Almonds are at the top of list. Almonds

are very alkalizing along with being high in protein and calcium. I

especially love raw almond butter. I smother it on celery sticks –

fabulous!

• Step 2: Ditch Dairy – switch to soymilk or even better: almond milk

(no sugar variety). Almond milk is again a great way to get calcium

as well as protein.

• Step 3: Bubbling Bread - Yes, this means yeast, white flour and

bread. You can start eliminating by switching over to yeast free

bread, then to rice or sprouted seed crackers and sprouted wholewheat

tortillas (all of these should be available from your local health

food store). Concerning the white flour this means letting go of

pasta. In our house we love spelt pasta and decrease the portion size.

Always make it a side and not the main dish.

• Step 4: Don’t Do Dessert – This one was huge for me and I believe

it altered my life. First, pay attention to everything you consume that

has sugar. Read labels, make a note of things you are taking in that

have any type of sugar be it honey, agave, white sugar, organic sugar,

sucralose (splenda, sweet n low, equal). Next step is to cut out one or

two of these items every day.

• Step 5: Forget Fruit (mostly) – Most fruit has high sugar content.

However, there are some that are low in sugar, which are okay such

as: lemons, limes, avocado, tomato, grapefruit, sour cherries and raw

dates.

• Step 6: Can the Condiments (mostly) – This includes: vinegar, soy

sauce, catsup, mayo (but you can use lots of garlic, lemons, limes,

cayenne pepper and RealSalt (tm)

• Step 7: Practice the 80/20 Plan – This is a big step for many. This

means when looking at your plate, 80% is green and 20% is acidic

(and yes, that includes breakfast) Get your hands on a acid/alkaline

A pre-cleanse phase can last from 2 – 12 weeks depending on your

schedule and your individual body. During this pre-cleanse period you

also want to make sure you’re drinking the recommended 1 liter of

water per 30lbs of body weight. The water must be alkaline so it comes

from either a water ionizer, pH balancing drops, or lemon (or lime)

juice. Ideally you’ll be adding a high quality SuperGreen powder.

After this pre-cleanse phase you’ll be much better poised to have a

fabulous cleanse/detoxifying experience.
