According to a study published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health, “It is generally accepted that…humans today have a diet poor in magnesium, potassium and fiber, and rich in saturated fat, simple sugars, sodium, and chloride as compared to the preagricultural period. This results in a diet that may induce metabolic acidosis (a dangerously high level of acid in the body)...”
The modern diet, plus dramatic changes in the pH level of the soil means most of us may have pH levels that are much too acidic, which can contribute to many health challenges and immune disruption.
What you can do to naturally alkalize
your body
Over the last several decades, the one piece of dietary advice given by all experts is that you need to eat more plant nutrients.
General dietary recommendations for
alkalizing and detoxifying:
• Nine servings of organic vegetables (especially dark, green leafy varieties)
• Reduced serving sizes of (ideally) grass fed organic meat or poultry
• Removal/reduction of dairy consumption
• Removal of grains
• Reduced coffee, alcohol and soda intake
• Increased purified water intake, adding Sole Therapy each morning
What is Sole Therapy?
Sole Therapy is an easy and cost-effective way to boost hydration and support alkaline-acid balance. One teaspoon a day of “Sole” water can add 84 trace minerals, increasing cellular hydration and further supporting detoxification. It’s easy to make by adding salt stones to purified water and using a small dose each morning in your regular water. Just be sure you get the best, most pure, hand-harvested crystal salt stones from protected mines in the Himalayas. It’s critical to get the best salt, proven to contain all 84 trace minerals on a certificate of analysis.
But what if you can’t do that every day? What if you can’t eat enough green leafy vegetables, reduce your coffee enough, or happen to go out for a weekend celebration? What then?
Supplementation with a super-concentrated, clean and non-GMO greens product may be beneficial in alkalizing your body, increasing detoxification activity and supporting your overall greens consumption. The key is to look for a concentrated form that is easy to take and efficacious, without needing to take 20 or more tablets of something like alfalfa per day. Look for a concentrated 40:1 formulation made of a particular variety of alfalfa – a rich source of chlorophyll, beta-carotene, the poly-unsaturated fatty acids linolenic and linoleic acid, amino acids (including lysine, arginine, tyrosine and leucine), calcium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese—all of this in just a few capsules per day.
Concentrated supplementation may help:
• Support the detoxification of heavy metals and remove free radicals*
• Support all phases of detoxification*
• Support healthy pH levels*
• Cells resist oxidative stress*
• Balance protein and energy metabolism*
• Support healthy skin*
• Support hormone metabolism*
• Support digestion and healthy inflammation*
