THE ALKALINE DIET with Folk Herbs
by Gayle Redfern


Do you know the Principles of Alkalinity?

Our blood is naturally slightly alkaline, with a normal pH level between 7.35 and 7.45. Today, this is not always the case so the first step is using our diet as a tool to return the body to these slightly alkaline pH levels. 

An alkaline diet includes fresh fruit, vegetables, roots and tubers, nuts, and legumes. Almost all digested foods once absorbed and metabolized, release either an acid or an alkaline base (bicarbonate) into blood. It is important that we maintain the alkaline base. We achieve this by drinking plenty of alkaline, or ionized, water or eating an alkaline diet.
