A lot of people including celebrities such as Victoria Beckham have taken it seriously. As we have right noted before in our discussions on 13 Great Herbs That Alkalize the Body, our bodies are affected by what we eat. As expected, the PH level of the body ought to be around 7.36 but some types of food can make one have a high level of acidity, which is really bad on its own. In this post, the focus is on the alkaline dinner recipe.

The alkaline diet will recover your energy after three days and you will feel much stronger. In order to achieve eye-visible results (removal of abdominal fat), it takes up to 8 weeks of following an alkaline diet. This is not an instant nor a short-term solution for weight loss, but results can be achieved in the long run.

However, it would do you good to get a little understand of ways you can increase the level of alkaline in your body. To live an alkaline lifestyle can be easy if you do some simple things. Here are some of the best ways to ensure that happens.

1. Eat Green: Vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots and so many other forms of vegetables have always served as the best means of maintaining alkalinity in the body. Work towards ensuring they are available at your next meal because regular food should contain about 75 percent of alkaline food including foods like vegetables and legumes and 25 percent of acidic food such as meat and carbs.
   
   
2. Reduce Your Intake of Acidic Food: In acidosis caused by an unhealthy diet, the best medicine is a change in eating habits. All that is required of you is to reduce your intake of acidic foods and embrace food rich in alkaline. Avoid these foods for some time as they acidify the body: meats, eggs, refined sugars, white flour as well as dairy.
   
   
3. Cut Back on Drinking Alcohol: Alcoholic drinks have high sugar content, making them highly acidic. You don’t necessarily have to cut them out, however, it is better if you do. If you can’t stop drinking, try to reduce your level of intake. Drinking alcohol in a way and in quantities that go beyond the limit will ruin your health. Excessive drinking of alcohol is also associated with five forms of cancer: liver cancer, mouth and throat cancer, esophagus cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer.
   
   
4. Drink Water with Lemon: Drinking water with lemon is another way to increase your level of alkaline in the body. Although lemons contain citric acid, they alkalize your body. An alkalized environment inhibits the development of pathogenic bacteria in our system. According to many health experts, the alkaline environment is exactly the one that is most unfavorable for the development of cancer cells. Use organic lemons that have not grown with the help of chemical fertilizers because their effect is significantly higher.
   
   
5. Natural Energy- Boost Drinks: The numerous carbonated drinks you take every day also have a negative effect on your health. To increase the level of alkaline in your body, it is advisable to choose natural energy boosters. Some of these energy drinks are peppermint tea, lemon water or yerba mate tea. They have been known to help in the stimulation of metabolism.
   
   
6. Exercise: Another way to reduce your level of alkalinity is by regular physical activity. Physical activity helps to raise internal body temperature and increase blood flow, thus relieving the elimination of excess fat and toxic waste from your body. If you will take care of the exercise right after you wake up in the morning, also your attitude towards food will be different. Surely you will be proud of yourself because you have done something good for yourself, and consequently, all your nutrition decisions will be healthier. You will be motivated to keep a positive attitude all day long.
   
   
7. Reduce Stress: By minimizing everyday stress, you can increase the alkalinity of your body. Meditation can greatly help, as it has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer by 55% (also applies to other forms of severe systemic diseases)! Yoga, Qigong and martial arts like Taichi have a strong effect on reducing stress as well.
