Weight Loss - The Importance of Alkalinity

This very well may be the most important article that you ever read in your life. I realize that may sound arrogant, but just read on and you will see why I feel so strongly about it. When I refer to alkalinity, I am referring to the alkalinity of your blood. Whether you are looking to achieve weight loss or just improve your general wellbeing, alkalinity is the key. Let me explain why.

First of all, the opposite of alkalinity is acidity. For those of you who remember science class all those years ago, you will know what I am referring to. But for the sake of this article, all you need to know is that alkalinity is vitally important and that every single thing you eat will have either an alkalizing or an acidic effect on the body.

The more alkalized you are, the more energy you have. The more acidic you are, the less energy you have. What's more, people with highly acidic diets are much more susceptible to disease and ill health than those who do not.

When your body is alkalized (from eating enough alkalizing foods and drinks) your body will perform as nature intended it to do so, and nature intended for our bodies to be strong, fat-burning machines that are highly resistant to disease.

Therefore, the more alkalized you are, the faster weight loss will occur.

Now, you are probably wondering what you need to do in order to achieve this. Well, there are 2 things that you need to do:

1) Consume a large amount of alkalizing foods and drinks; and

2) Avoid consuming acidic foods and drinks.

Sounds simple, right? Good. That's because it is.

I recommend that you do a quick Google search in your own time in order to become familiar with which foods to eat and which foods to ditch, but for now let me list the best and worst foods of all time when it comes to achieving an alkaline body:

Alkaline

- Green Tea
- Lemons
- Celery
- Broccoli
- Asparagus
- Almonds

Acidic

- Cola 
- Red Meat 
- Sodas 
-White Pasta 

- Artificial Sweeteners

Alkalinity is such a huge topic to cover, but I hope that I have given you all a satisfactory introduction here in this article. So do your research and next time you are shopping for weight loss foods, try to make sure that the ones you pick have an alkalizing effect on your body.

Remember, this is about more than weight loss: This is about your health and vitality.
