SUPERFOODS: EATING YOUR WAY TO
ALKALINE HEALTH.
Super Foods are
much more
nutritionally dense then the foods we usually eat. As whole foods, they
contain
a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients
as naturally associated in nature. These foods should be eaten everyday
and as
often as possible to order to stay healthy and keep an alkaline blood
PH.

UNDERSTAND THE
BENEFITS OF A HIGH ALKALINE DIET
Do you think that
its just a
coincidence that the
majority of Superfoods have an alkaline
PH? Eating
alkaline foods is essential to keeping your body strong and
disease-free. The diseases
that are rampant among the people of the western world today could be
slowed
down to a crawl if we could get the population to consume a 50-75%
alkaline
diet. High consumption of plant foods are a mighty boost to your immune
system.
- Grapes
Dark colored grapes provide polyphenols
(antioxidants), vitamin C, and natural sugars.
- Berries
Low in sugar, high in phytochemicals,
antioxidants, fiber, calcium,
magnesium and zinc, berries are easy to eat. Eat a wide variety
of them daily: blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, blackberries,
raspberries and more.
- Oranges
Rich in beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamins B1 and 6, potassium, folic
acid, calcium, and iron, oranges are just what you need for a quick
afternoon or breakfast snack.
- Bananas
A rich source of Vitamins B and C, potassium, magnesium and
iodine. They are easily digested and a high energy
source—and again, very portable.
- Apples
Every apple provides five grams of fiber
and plenty of antioxidants, including flavonoids
and other polyphenols.
- Avocados
Avocados provide a terrific source of monounsaturated fat. They are
great inside of a sandwich.
- Broccoli
Broccoli
is loaded with disease fighting chemicals and vitamin C. This is a true
superfood.
- Mushrooms
A great source of phosphorus, magnesium,
potassium and selenium, mushrooms are also easy to put into varied
dishes without the risk of discovery.
- Tomatoes
Tomatoes are high in lycopene, a potent carotenoid antioxidant.
- Carrots
Carrots contain high levels of beta carotene, are fun to eat and easy
to carry.
- Nuts or natural nut
butters
Essential fats are the key here. Be sure to choose peanut butter and
other nut butters that are natural to avoid high fructose corn syrup
and other yucky ingredients. And make sure you give only chopped nuts
to kids under five to avoid choking.
- Beans
Filled with fiber, protein and iron, beans are a nutritious addition to
your diet, and are very easy to put in soups..
- Yogurt
One cup of yogurt provides 13 grams of protein and almost 500mg of
calcium, making it one of the best sources of protein and calcium for
your family.
- Sweet potatoes
These root veggies are loaded with beta
carotene, vitamin E, vitamin B6, potassium and iron.
- Mangos
This tropical fruit provides more than a
full day’s serving of beta-carotene, as well as fiber, potassium,
and vitamin C.
- Quinoa
Quinoa looks and tastes like a grain,
but it's a seed that contains amounts of iron, potassium, vitamin B,
fiber and protein.
- Salmon
Even though this is not an alkaline food, it is highly recommended.
Salmon contains heart-healthy omega-3 oils and is easy to prepare.
- 100% Whole grain bread
No Wonder bread on the list here. White bread and refined whole wheat
can lead to blood sugar havoc, weight gain and fluctuations in energy.
Look for breads made with 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain in order
to keep your energy level up and glucose level regulated. Whole grains
are rich in complex carbohydrates and add beneficial phytonutrients to your diet.
- Green leafy vegetables
Greens, such as spinach, kale, bok choy, Swiss chard and romaine lettuce, contain
beta-carotene, vitamin B, calcium and lutein
that work together to support overall health.
- Dark Chocolate
Loaded with magnesium, antioxidants
and chemicals that mimic the love response in our bodies, Dark
chocolate is a great snack.
Eating a diet
everyday that
contains all of the needed nutrients can be tough. Even though we try
to eat a
high alkaline superfoods diet, there are
just days where
we shortchange our health. On days like this we will be glad that we
ate correctly to keep our immune system strong. Whether it be flu season or mosquitos
carrying west nile virus, we must not
compromise the
disease fighting capabilities of our immune system. Keep
your pH balance with a high alkaline food diet.
