You may be asking yourself what exactly does it mean to Alkalize Your Body or, more specifically, How Can You Alkalize your Body for Good Health. Let's start with the first question in this article.

Alkalize your body refers to shifting the pH of your body. Dr. Robert Young is a microbiologist and uses the term New Biology and has dedicated years to studying the effects that the pH level in your body has on your cells. Just like your body needs to maintain a specific temperature, it must also maintain a pH which is slightly higher than 7 which means it is slightly alkaline. The good news is that your body is very good at maintaining that level and has ways of changing the pH if you start getting acidic. Unfortunately, the way your body handles acid leaves us overweight with excess fat. It may store acid in fat cells making a person over-weight, it may line the walls of your arteries with cholesterol which leads to heart problems, or it may leach calcium out of your bones to neutralize the acid. There are other things that the body will do and none of them are particularly pleasant. As you can see, it is very important to alkalize your body. In fact, many people will go as far as to say alkalize or die!

How to Alkalize Your Body

Now, you may be wondering, exactly how can you alkalize your body for good health. The answer is quite simple actually. Stop putting acid into your body and start putting alkalizing foods and drinks into your body. Acidic foods include meat, dairy products, eggs, and sugars. All of these foods leave an acidic residue when they are digested. Alkalizing foods are primarily fruits and vegetables. A simple thing is to try to eat more "live" foods like fruits and vegetables than acidic foods. It is also extremely important to nourish your body by taking all natural health supplements and vitamins and drink a lot of water. In fact, you should drink at least half your weight in ounces of water. For example, you should drink at least 70 ounces of water if you weight 140 pounds. As you start to become more alkaline, you will experience a phenomenon referred to as Alkalize and Energize and start to be full of energy and vitality!

There are also several great supplements that help you get tons of alkalizing nutrients. I personally use innerlight super greens once or twice a day to help make sure I get plenty of alkalizing nutrients.
