3 Easy And Tasty Alkaline Diet Recipes
If you want to improve your health and vitality levels then one of the best things you can do is adopt an alkaline diet
. I've got 3 great alkaline diet recipes for you :-)
You should aim for a 70:30 ratio of alkaline to acidic foods.
In my and many other people's experience, if you try and eat 100% alkaline foods, it is really too difficult to sustain and doesn't allow for some foods that should be enjoyed sparingly, like fruit.
It is better to go for 70:30 than 'fall off the wagon' completely, trying to achieve a 100% alkaline diet.
Here are 3 easy, quick and tasty alkaline diet recipes: The first is a lovely tasty curry. Herbs and spices are very alkalizing so use these freely in all your food preparation and cooking. The second recipe is a slightly sweet avocado salad. Avocadoes are stunningly beautiful little things - full of Omega 3 essential oils and one for the only alkaline fruits, a real super food. The third recipe is a good old classic salad. You'd do well to include leafy dark green salad vegetables in your meals every day - there's hardly any calories in a salad but plenty of nutrients and alkaline goodness - dark green leafy vegetables are amazingly alkalizing so knock yourself out :-) Enjoy!
