Alkaline Foods List

According to "The Alkaline Diet Recipe Book," after digestion, foods leave a residue in the body. The potential of hydrogen, or pH, of this residue varies depending on the type of food eaten, and can be acidic, neutral or alkaline. The residue affects the pH of the blood, and acidic blood can lead to conditions such as high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. Eating more alkaline foods causes the pH of the blood to stabilize at a slightly alkaline pH between 7.35 and 7.45

Okra
Okra, or ladyfinger, is a vegetable high in alkaline minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium. These minerals help to alkalize your body by leaving an alkaline residue. According to the Alkaline Diet website, the soluble fiber in okra can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer of any type.

Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit contains many vitamins, alkaline minerals and antioxidants. It contains calcium and vitamins B1, B2 and C. According to the Alkaline Diet website, the alkalinity of dragon fruit lowers blood glucose levels, which can be valuable to people with diabetes. Dragon fruit contains large amounts of dietary fiber which binds to acidic residue, making it easier to excrete. Dragon fruit also helps in hydration because of its high water content.


Avocado
Though avocado has a high concentration of fat, it contains many alkalizing vitamins and minerals. Because its concentration of alkalizing substances is so high, its alkalizing properties can take affect without ingestion: When placed on the skin, it can alkalize the skin, causing it to become moisturized and soft. Its high potassium levels help to alkalize the body, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

What Is an Alkaline Diet?

An alkaline diet, unlike typical specialized diets intended to help you lose weight, is geared toward treating cancer as well as aging-related muscle loss. Including certain key foods and omitting particular types of foods from your diet is the key concept of an alkaline diet. However, the science behind this type of diet as well as its effects are crucial concepts to explore before you discuss an alkaline diet with your physician.

Definition
To understand how an alkaline diet works, you must first consider the idea of alkalinity itself. Alkalinity has to do with the acid-base pH scale, in which a pH from 0 to 6 is acidic, 7 is neutral and higher than 7 is basic -- also called alkaline. By definition, an alkaline diet is one intended to raise the alkalinity, or pH, of tissues within the body, in order to preserve tissues against potentially damaging acidity, or low pH.


Features
Key foods that are essential to an alkaline diet include raw fruits and vegetables, which are termed alkalinogenic, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Bananas, which are high in alkaline potassium, or vitamin K, are especially crucial to an alkaline diet. Avoiding foods high in protein such as red meat and chicken is another vital component to an alkaline diet, because these foods are acidic when absorbed into the body. Vegetarian and vegan diets, for instance, are examples of diets more alkaline than a high-protein diet.


Effects
Alkaline diets are intended to help in treating cancer, according to the Metropolitan State College of Denver. By keeping tissue cells more alkaline, this type of diet raises the body's pH, creating an unfavorable environment for the growth of cancer cells. Healthy body tissues are alkaline, high pH, while tissues damaged by cancer are acidic, or low-pH. In addition to treating cancer, an alkaline diet composed of plenty of raw vegetables and very low protein intake can help aging men and women preserve lean muscle mass, reports the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Warning
Though an alkaline diet may be helpful for aging people facing muscle loss as well as serve a component of cancer treatment, you should not proceed with such a diet without first talking to your physician. An alkaline diet alone is not proper medical treatment for cancer or muscle loss -- a comprehensive medical approach is required to treat these serious ailments. Also, because alkaline diets are low in protein your body may require -- depending on your individual medical condition and history -- only a doctor is qualified to advise you on whether or not an alkaline diet is right for you.

A List of Acid, Alkaline & Neutral Foods

Foods either produce acid or alkaline in the body after they are metabolized. Acid and alkaline foods cannot be determined according to taste. Too much acidity or an abundance of alkaline occurs after foods have been digested. Acid or alkaline output can be measured by an at-home pH test. For tests that measure either too acidic or too alkaline, eating from the opposite food group, or eating foods that act as buffers, can help.


Alkaline-Producing Foods

Foods that produce the strongest amounts of alkaline are baking soda, sea salt and mineral water. Most vegetables and fruits are alkaline-producing foods to varying degrees, and this includes celery, alfalfa, cucumber, peppers, cauliflower, rutabaga, eggplant, sprouts, greens, sea vegetables and tomatoes. Most fruits are alkaline-producing, even acid fruits such as lemons and most dried fruits, according to Dr. Elson Haas, author of "Staying Healthy with Nutrition."

When you think of food that is grown outdoors naturally, you might have identified an alkaline-producing edible such as onions, burdock root, sweet potatoes, yams, tangerines, cinnamon and soy. The lists of alkaline-producing foods are vast and include poppy seeds, chestnuts, pepper, cashews, parsnip, garlic, kale, parsley, endive, mustard greens, ginger root and broccoli.


Neutral Foods for Acid State

In most cases, people consume more acidic foods than alkaline foods. For an acid state, the neutral foods are vegetables, especially sea vegetables and fruits. In addition, oatmeal, brown rice, most dried beans and peas and sunflower seeds can help neutralization, according to Haas. Some dairy products tend to act as buffers, including fresh, unsalted butter, fresh raw cream, milk, whey and yogurt. For a neutralizing drink, mix the juice of 1/2 lime, lemon or apple cider vinegar in water.


Acid-Producing Foods

Most diets consist of primarily acid-producing foods, which might upset the body's acid/alkaline balance. The most acidic foods are jams, jellies, sugar and ice cream, along with table salt, yeast, white vinegar, beef products, barley and fried foods. Dr. Elizabeth Lipski, in her book "Digestive Wellness," says that nutmeg, pecans, aspartame, saccharin, soy milk and coffee are acid-producing. Less acidic foods are pine nuts, yogurt, honey and rice vinegar. The digestive system produces acid from meat and fish, including pork, veal, chicken, tuna and sardines. Other acid-producing proteins are eggs, lamb, white rice and white bread.

How to Get Rid of Belly Bloat & Water Weight

A bloated belly and water retention can make you feel uncomfortable and just might leave your clothes ill-fitting as well. The key to eliminating belly bloat and water weight is to identify what is causing it. Bloating and water retention have a myriad of causes, from PMS to gas and constipation. Finding your trigger is the best way to trim your waistline.

Step 1
Revamp your diet. Some foods can cause gas, which results in a bloated belly. Eliminate or reduce gas-causing foods from your diet. Baked beans, cabbage and cauliflower can result in gas and belly bloat, as can alcohol and carbonated drinks. Chewing gum and hard candy can also make you suck in more air and, thus, bloat more easily.

Step 2
Cut out the sodium. Salt can lead to water retention, which can increase that belly bloat. Taste before you salt your food, and season it conservatively. Avoid high-sodium items including canned soups and vegetables, soy sauce and deli meats.

Step 3
Slowly add fiber to your diet. If your bloated belly is caused by constipation, a high-fiber diet can relieve this uncomfortable condition and reduce your bloat. However, eating a lot of high-fiber foods at once can increase the bloat, so slowly increase your fiber intake. Sources of high-fiber foods include vegetables, whole grains and some cereals. You can also take a fiber supplement, but talk to your doctor first.

Step 4
Eat slowly. Eating quickly and on the go can make you take in more air when you eat, which can result in a bloated belly. Chew slowly to allow the saliva to drench your food, making it easier for the stomach to digest.

Step 5
See your doctor. If changes to your diet do not result in less belly bloat and water retention, have your doctor evaluate your symptoms. Some conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome and appendicitis, feature belly bloat as a symptom, so get these conditions ruled out -- or treated if necessary.

Tips and Warnings
Some women experience water retention in the days leading up to their period. Exercise and a healthy diet can help reduce PMS-caused water weight.

ALKALINE WATER FOR VITAL HEALTH

Water sustains all forms of human life. Your body is 70-80% water. Water adjusts the body's temperature and assists in digestion. It removes toxins from the body, and also makes necessary body fluids. The qualities and properties of the water we drink can determine the quality of our health.

Without enough fluids, your body panics and clings to fluid, resulting in: loss of thirst, weight gain, swollen hands and feet, and constipation (the body will remove needed water from the colon). Diuretics can force out retained water, but will take essential nutrients with them. Water is a natural diuretic (prevents fluid retention). Water is responsible for transporting nourishment to every living cell and is the key to all bodily functions. Water is a 'magic potion' for optimal physical fitness. About three quarters of the human brain is water.

Did you know that a headache may just be your body's way of asking for more water?

Try a glass next time WITHOUT THE ASPIRIN and watch your headache disappear!

35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND 10 YEARS OF MEDICAL RESEARCH HAVE PROVEN TO THE JAPANESE THAT ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER NOT ONLY HELPS TO PREVENT BUT ALSO TO REVERSE CHRONIC ILLNESS.

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I DRINK?

Under normal conditions, the average person requires 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water a day. Optimally, you should consume 1/2 an ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. For example, a 100 lb. person needs 50 ounces (seven 8-ounce glasses) every day.


BUT I DRINK LOTS OF OTHER FLUIDS, IE. TEA, JUICE, POP, ETC. DO I STILL NEED THIS MUCH WATER?

When you consume water that has added flavors and ingredients, your body must first filter out these additives before it can use the pure water to detoxify and nourish your cells. This means extra work for your liver, kidneys, and intestines. By starting with pure clean alkaline water, you ease the strain on these organs and free them up to work on cleansing and filtering your food - not to mention the highly acidic nature of carbonated drinks ! !

Did you know . . . It takes 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the acid from one 12 ounce cola!!!

WHEN SHOULD I DRINK WATER?

There are three times a day when drinking water is most efficient: not with food, but twenty minutes before or twenty minutes after eating. You don't want to dilute the potency of your digestive enzymes by drinking water with your meals.

The best times to drink water are:

four 8oz. glasses over a 30-minute period in the morning
four more 8oz.glasses over a 30-minute period in the afternoon
another four more 8oz. glasses over a 1-hour period in the early evening

That's 12 glasses of water - see how easy it is!!

WHY ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER?

Ordinary tap water has 11 to 13 molecules per cluster. ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER molecule clusters are half that size, with 6 or 7 molecules per cluster. This makes microwater a 'wetter' water. Due to its smaller clusters, ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER is super-hydrating and readily absorbed by your body. When your body has more water to work with, it is better able to deliver nutrients to all the cells, tissues, and organs.

ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER transports nutritional substances to the cells and eliminates waste within 25 minutes, unlike standard water that takes approximately two and a half hours. And perhaps, most importantly, electron-charged ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER readily gives up its electrons to stabilize oddball oxygen free radicals, thus protecting our body cells and making them less susceptible to infection and disease.

ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER has 3 significant, health-enhancing benefits not shared by standard or filtered water:

an alkaline pH
smaller and more efficient molecular clusters
free electrons that scavenge free radicals.

WATER COMPARISON:

1) BOTTLED WATER, which has been sitting on a store shelf, lacks vitality and often mineral content as well.

2) DISTILLED AND OSMOTIC WATER have been purified to the point that they are lifeless - lacking minerals, electrons, and oxygen. This equals dead water.

3) TAP WATER - If your water supply is city water, it is probably chlorinated and may also have added fluoride - both are known carcinogens and highly acidic.

4) ALKALINE ANTIOXIDANT WATER tastes like mountain spring water and enhances the delivery of nutrients to your cells. It makes acidic foods more alkaline, disarms free radicals, and increases stable oxygen levels in your body.
