Alkalize and you energize !

Have you ever felt hungry still after eating a huge meal? Do you exercise everyday and still not shed a pound? Do you see yourself aging before your very eyes and feel tired or overweight? Have you wondered why cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes rates are skyrocketing?

The answer is really quite simple – acid overload !

The food we buy in our supermarket today is actually forming acid in your body. Meat, cheese, eggs, bread, coffee, chocolate, sugar, rice, milk, cereal, cookies, crackers, etc. are all acid forming. All that food we crave is acid-forming and over-acidification of body fluids and tissues are linked to every known disease including that dragged-out, fatigue feeling most of us complain about everyday, not to mention the endless list of digestive disorders and medical problems.

When your body is overly acidic, you become vulnerable to germs, yeast, bacteria, molds and fungi which thrive in acidity! So many people today live on highly processed, over-cooked foods which is why you see and hear so many TV and radio commercials for anti-acids.

What is the opposite of acid? Alkaline!

What’s alkaline? Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds – again, most everything in the produce section of your favorite grocery store. What is the science behind this? There is a relationship between acid and alkaline, which is scientifically quantified on a scale of 1 to 14 known as the PH – on that scale, 7 is neutral. Below 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline!
Most of us eat 80% acid foods and 20% alkaline foods, which is what can get us in trouble. We all need to eat just the opposite – 20% acid foods and 80% alkaline foods.

You must be thinking – “I am not ready to become a vegetarian!” You really do not have to! You just need to add more super greens foods, whole grains, herbs, etc. to your day and watch your vibrant health return. Unlike animal protein, super green foods are easily digested.

What super green foods can do for you

• Help your body return to a healthy PH balance
• Regulate blood sugar levels
• Maximize energy
• Increase your mental clarity
• Help you reach an ideal weight
• Restore clear, bright eyes
• Rejuvenate your skin
• Improve your digestive tract

Why can you eat right and still gain weight?

The human body is alkaline by design – acid by function. In other words, demands from your daily routine, stress levels, exercise and how you digest your food all form acid. The more acid you produce, the more acid you become – even minor things like coffee, a glass of wine, an annoying phone call can increase acid production. When your body’s PH is in the acid range (below 7), it retains water to dilute the acidity and stores fat in the arteries as protection from the acid blood!

Acid storage makes the body crave sugar and salt !

When you have too much acid in the body, blood sugar balance is impaired and your energy can greatly diminish! You feel run down because your cells are run down so you eat more protein and starches and the vicious cycle never ends! When your body is dealing with acid overload, it will hold onto FAT no matter how much you exercise your restrict your diet.

This is why super green foods can actually shift your body to a healthier PH so your body will naturally and safely release fat and water in the shortest time possible and keep it off! Super green foods lets you break this acid overload cycle because they carry off the acids and flush them out through the kidneys. When you flush acids, you also minimize over-acidity which keeps the pounds on or keeping you sick or not feeling your best.

Putting alkalinity back into your body helps you neutralize the daily acid production and helps your body feel better, recover quicker, reduce food cravings and food intake. There is a lot of research to support the fact that a high alkaline balance in the body is the first line of defense against fatigue, illness and disease.
