Transitioning from Regular Diet to an Alkaline Diet
It will take a while to come back into balance and become more
alkaline, it would take far more than one or two times eating
acidic food in order to completely undo all of the positive
lifestyle change work that you have already accomplished.
Let’s talk about the method by which foods are determined to
be alkaline or acidic. Alkalinity in the body refers to your body
and bloods Ph level. The Ph level refers to a measurement of
balance or imbalance between acidity and alkalinity.
By eating alkaline foods or those foods that leave an alkaline
ash when incinerated, your body’s Ph will begin to become
more alkaline. Acidic foods are also tested by the residue Ph
of the ash that it leaves when incinerated.

all tend to be more acidic whereas good whole, raw foods that
have not been processed are essentially more alkaline. Below
is a chart that may help you understand the different foods
and their level of acidity or alkalinity based upon being tested
by the ash method mentioned earlier.

You should now have a good idea about what foods are acidic
and what ones are alkaline. Next you will learn step-by-step
the best way to begin transitioning. Don’t worry about having
to drastically change everything all at once. You should do this
process gradually. This allows the body to adjust one stage at a
time rather than having a shock to the system. This will lessen
cravings and help your body handle the transition better. You
are more likely to continue the process if you do it slowly and
gradually. Keeping motivated is your key to success.
As you begin the transition process here are a few things you
can do to help yourself along and monitor your progress:

3. Baby steps
Once you have established what your goal is, then break it
down into bite sizes pieces. If you can make mini goals and
steps toward your main goal, you will be much more successful.
Breaking down a goal into steps does two things - first you will
not be overwhelmed with a huge goal. If you think that the
goal is too large, you might not even know where to start and
therefore may give up before you even begin. Secondly, you can
monitor your progress and see successes everyday rather than
being worried about the larger goal and having to wait to see
if you achieve it. This takes away the all or nothing approach to
transitioning into a new lifestyle change and the small successes
will continue to boost your motivation to continue.
So look at your goal and begin to break it down further. Such
as “I want to be more healthy and have more energy in the
next three weeks” can be broken down to:
You have written your goals, you have made them time
sensitive and reasonable and you have even broken them
down into smaller bite sized pieces. It is now time to begin to
do what you say you are going to do.

Water Ionizers
This system runs water over positive and negative electrodes
and separates the water into acidic which constitutes about
30% of the water) and Alkaline (which constitutes the other
70%). The alkaline water is very beneficial to the internal body,
but the acidic water can be used an effective skin cleanser.
Not only does ionized water create beneficial alkaline water,
but this water has a lower surface tension which makes it more
easily absorbed by the body. There are some ionized water
machines that actually allow you to dial how much alkalinity
you want your water to be.
