the alkaline diet. is this lifestyle for you?

The reason why people, such as Elle Macpherson, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Gwyneth Paltrow, to name a few, are followers of the alkaline diet is because this sustainable lifestyle actually works and helps you be the best version of yourself.

Following an alkaline diet, is more than just a diet, it’s a lifestyle you can comfortably live. This way of living impacts your body on a cellular level and goes beyond simply what you eat and drink. The alkaline diet takes into account what you think, how you feel and who you are. I have been following the alkaline living standards for over 10 years now. I believe that it is, in part, due to this lifestyle switch that I have been medication free for 6 years and counting.

As a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach & HCA Licensed Health Coach™, I encourage my clients to adopt this lifestyle to achieve bodies that are in a more alkaline state. Only then are we able to achieve our highest level of wellness. Scientists have observed that slightly acidic bodies are much more prone to inflammation.

So, what makes our bodies become acidic?

Our lifestyle is the culprit. Stress, pollution, and the food we eat all turn our bodies unnaturally acidic. This in turn creates inflammation in our gut and thereby, prevents us from properly absorbing the nutrients we eat. Keeping all of this in mind and looking back at my personal health and wellness journey, I have come to realize that what we eat, drink and think impacts every cell in our body.

Now, pH balance in the body is crucial to the enzyme functions that control our metabolisms and hormones, and ultimately, our ability to thrive. A more alkaline blood pH contributes to healthy enzyme reactions and organ functions. When the body is too acidic, many people report digestive issues, joint pain, skin blemishes, brittle hair, dull complexion, brain fog, allergies, asthma, weight gain and much more.

Here is the basic rule of thumb: imbalances, aches and pains occur when your body is too acidic. Chances are, your metabolism will thrive in a more alkaline environment leaving you with more energy, stronger immunity, brighter skin, a happier gut and simply better health. Basically, eat more greens and plants and cut down on animal products, processed foods and refined sugar. Keep your acidic habits in check & feel the alkaline difference!
