Why alkaline foods? Because we have an alkaline body and if we eat too many foods that are acidic our body will eventually become ill and diseased.

When I first started to alkalize for my health, I really did struggle to understand what type of foods I could eat. Unfotunately there are a lot of conflicting food charts in books, and on the internet. Each one advising differently on what foods are alkaline. Also what is acidic, and what is acidic but has an alkaline effect on the body! Yes, very confusing!

Through a lot of research and testing I’ve compiled the best alkaline foods list, using well respected microbioligist and nutritionist Dr Robert Young’s findings as a basis.

Alkaline foods are full of energy and are typically foods which are still in their natural state. For superior health benefits I highly recommend eating a 100% alkaline diet. If you are very ill/toxic/diseased then your body needs to heal itself, and it can best do that by excluding acidic foods completely.

When you are in peak health it is absolutely fine to eat a diet that is 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. This 80/20 rule is the best and really does apply to everything you do in life!

Below are a list of alkaline foods in their groups. These include different levels of alkalinity. There are highly alkaline, moderately alkaline, and slightly alkaline foods.

Please use this key guide to distinguish:

Highly = HA
Moderately = MA
Slightly = SA

Best Alkaline Foods

This list of alkaline foods is pretty comprehensive, but I will be adding to this regularly as I research more.

Out of all the alkaline foods the following are two of the absolute best to include in your diet:

Organic Goji Berries

We discovered the benefits of this amazing food a few months ago. It really is the best food on the planet! Why? Because it contains the most alkalizing and cleansing properties, including 18 amino acids.

We recommend buying goji berries that are organic and grown in the himilayas to ensure superior quality and healing benefits. They are great for snacking on or sprinkling on foods. You can also buy Goji Juice – particularly good if you’re in a hurry!

Wheatgrasses

We’ve been drinking wheatgrass juice for about a year now. Wheatgrass is a very powerful detoxifier for the body. It really cleans the liver and blood as it contains a high level of alkalizing minerals.

It is one of the main, and best, foods to take when trying to restore your body to an alkaline state.

We use powdered wheatgrass and put 1 scoop in a liter of ionized alkalized water and drink it 2-3 times a day to ensure we get the right amount of nutrients. It’s impossible to get this amount by just eating green foods alone!

This ensures you get your water intake up as well as getting the nutrients.

Most important of all – keep properly hydrated . Drink 1 liter of ionized alkalized water per 30 pound of your body weight every day, and eat the right balance of alkalizing foods.
