Alkaline By Design!

Our bodies are alkaline by design and acidic by function.  The body will strive to maintain an alkaline balance and homeostasis and do whatever it takes to keep the blood at a pH of 7.365. When the body/blood remains in a slightly alkaline state we are free from disease and illness. We are also preserving the body and limiting it's need to leach out alkaline minerals from other places such as bones to neutralise the acids produced by our diet, environment and lifestyles.  When the blood pH drops below this we put ourselves in a state of acidosis which predisposes us to being sick.

By eating a highly alkalinising diet with a basis of greens, vegies, healthy oils, nuts and seeds we can live in harmony and function at a higher level of optimal health physically, spiritually and emotionally.  Highly acidic individuals are often disconnected, confused, have foggy thinking, feel lethargic, unmotivated, and will often procrastinate and make excuses about choosing health to avoid disease.

Transitioning to an alkaline diet can take some time if you are not faced with serious health challenges, and it doesn't have to be boring, bland or difficult. In fact, once you learn the basic principles, and have an understanding of the foods, you will realise it's actually quite easy to follow.....and by this stage you will have felt the incredible benefits of living this way and you will never look back.

A question I am often asked is: Do I have to do the full programme?
My answer to you is: That depends on you and how healthy you want to be.

Education is the key element here. Empower yourself on the basic principles of health and you too will reap the rewards and want to share it with all your friends and family.

The movement toward health awareness in the community has increased drastically, and I am so pleased to see many new restaurants popping up that are only buying organic and offering vegan and vegetarian options.  This will continue to happen as the world shifts to a plant based diet.

If you are hesitant or have questions that is great. Now is the time to educate yourself and learn about health prevention. You can choose to invest time to live healthily right now, or make time to be very sick in the future.
