We are born alkaline.  We parish acid    Dr. Robert Cass

 

Just a quick thank you for your referrals!  It doesn’t go unnoticed and it’s greatly appreciated!

 

Are you Acid or Alkaline?  How do you find out?  Why should you care?  Well, it could mean the difference between living until age 50 or 100!  Here are 6 quick tips that may help you get to where you should be:

1. First, find out where you are on the scale; look at the chart below and circle the foods you eat – be honest
2. Gradually shift to make 80% of your diet consist of alkalizing foods (again from the general chart)
3. Start to consume alkaline water (should contain minerals and have a pH displayed over 7.4); most bottled water is acidic
4. Slowly eliminate the coffee and pop from your diet – they suck the alkalizing minerals out of your bones (eg Calcium and Magnesium)
5. Get rid of the dairy and processed foods – start at a pace you can handle
6. Learn how to manage your stress – yes ‘stress’ is acidic

And, in order to keep align with our topic, we thought we should give you an alkalizng summer salad recipe:

 

Kale-Dorf Salad (tastes sooo good my son eats it!)

4 cups kale leaves, chopped into thin slices

1 apple, cored, unpeeled and chopped

2 tbsp chopped cranberries

1 cup celery, thinly sliced

1/4 cup walnuts or pinenuts, lightly toasted

1/4 cup medjool dates, chopped

1/2 avocado, chopped

 

4 drops stevia – there’s a non-bitter variety by ‘Now’

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or slightly less)

1/4 cup organic olive oil

1/4 cup organic mayo

pepper – just a pinch or two

 

Place all ingredients in a bowl.  Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad.  Let sit for 10 minutes and then enjoy!
