My Three Favorite Ways to Alkalinize Your Body

Talk about eating to “alkalize” (or, if you’re in the UK or Canada, you might say “alkaLINize”) and you may just find yourself in a heated conversation.

According to modern science, there is no way to alkalize your body with food; our body, conventional science tells us, is designed to keep our blood within a very tight boundary between 7.35 and 7.45 on the pH scale; and it’s designed to ensure we never veer beyond those extremes (or, if we do, it means we’re pretty much done with this world).

However, holistic and alternative practitioners believe that creating an alkaline environment in the body is key to good health.

I agree–it was only after I began to consume many more alkaline foods that my symptoms began to subside. As it turns out, the most highly alkaline foods are also those with the highest antioxidant values, most fiber and nutrients, and overall, the healthiest, like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and legumes, and so on. Go figure.

If you’re interested in boosting your own alkaline foods, here are my three favorite ways.
