BEATING DIABETES WITH A HIGH ALKALINE FOODS DIET

eatingalkaline — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:30:12 +0000

Eating a diet high in alkaline foods will help keep you full while avoiding starchy carbs and simple carbs. Overeating these foods will definitely help you to have a belly fat problem and have your body squirting insulin throughout the day. So much insulin production can make your cells “insensitive” to the insulin, which pushes the sugars into your cells. When the cells start to NOT respond to the insulin, you have the beginnings of a diabetes problem.

Eating a diet of starchy carbs (pasta, bread) and simple carbs will set you on the road to diabetes. Try to take in only enough calories from carbs to burn until your next meal. Get quality energy from foods like non-starchy veggies and some fruits. These foods are not as calorie dense and provide minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients that helps your energy supply skyrocket! Eating a diet of 70% alkaline foods will allow your body to balance its pH, rest well and do required maintenance work to keep you healthy and youthful.

An important part of beating diabetes is water consumption. Most diabetics are dehydrated when first diagnosed and must drink water throughout the day to help normalize blood sugar levels. Raw alkaline veggies and fruits have a very high water content and are highly recommended for consumption. There are some researchers around the world who believe that diabetes is a symptom of long-term dyhydration. This may not have been proven and is hotly debated. Despite the argument, diabetes patients are advised by their doctors to drink plenty of water everyday. Slow Diabetes with a High Alkaline Foods Diet

I like to eat fruit in the morning to cleanse my system after going all night without a meal. I guess you could call it a “semi fast”. This raw fruit cleansing helps support a solid foundation for a natural healthy lifestyle. Back in the early 1990′s i was introduced to the the legendary book “Fit for Life” by Harvey Diamond. He highly recommended eating fruit first thing in the morning to cleanse the undigested food from your digestive system. Reading about the importance of eating foods that cleansed our body became important to me even if i didn’t practice these teachings as well as i should have.

Eating a diet high in alkaline foods is a cleansing eating style as it normalizes waste removal. Eating 50 – 80% of your meals in the form of alkaline fruits, veggies, raw nuts and seeds is a high alkaline foods diet and it will increase weight loss and boost your immune system to fight disease.
