Chances are you’ve heard of the importance of a pH balanced diet that helps create an alkaline environment. While this all may seem pretty technical, it’s actually really simple. The foods and activities we enjoy create either acidic or alkaline situations in our bodies – and depending on which way the scale tips we may be more or less susceptible to illness and wellness issues.

The good news is that it’s pretty easy to take steps towards a healthier, more alkaline pH so that your body can perform at its peak every day and we’re going to look at just a few of the many benefits that come from being in a state of alkalinity due to eating good foods and getting healthy exercise.

• More Energy
  When the body isn’t spending its resources trying to combat acidity, it can route more energy to how good you feel. An alkaline diet that’s rich in leafy greens, organic fruits, whole foods, and gentle exercise can help you feel energized and empowered to take on whatever life brings you.
• Brilliant Brains
  A low acidity level in the body can contribute to sharper thoughts, faster mental response, better memory, and more alertness. Many people find that the more alkaline foods they enjoy, the better their brain works!
• Less Illness
  Since most illnesses and diseases thrive in an acidic environment, an alkaline body simple isn’t a place where they can live. People who eat a diet rich in alkalizing foods find that they get sick less often and are at a lower risk for many major health concerns.
• More Nourishment
  Alkaline foods are easier for the body to digest and help remove the acidity that prevents easy digestion. A balanced pH allows the body to relax and fully absorb all the nutrients it needs to look and feel great!

If you’re not sure what foods to eat to help balance your pH, have no fears! Foods that are natural are almost always alkaline – so leafy greens, veggies, fruits, herbs, legumes, grains, and water offer a full array of delicious options that heal your body.
