How to Get Alkaline As Quickly &Easily As Possible79My approach to coaching the <strong>alkaline</strong>diet is based around a five keyprinciples:1. Trying to be perfect from the startleads to failure in 90% of cases – goeasy on yourself!2. For the first month, focus on the20% of actions that make 80% of thedifference3. Take it slowly, baby-steps, day-bydayand celebrate each success5. If you have a bad day, don’t giveup – take time to think what happenedand start again right this minute!If you want to get <strong>alkaline</strong>, see it as alonger-term shift, rather than a quickdiet fix.If you can take it slow and start to incorporatethese tips into your daily lifestyle,it becomes a habit and secondnature, rather than feeling like workevery day.4. Give yourself a cheat day, or relaxevery now and then – treat yourself!Getting Alkaline & Energized in FiveSimple Steps:Step One: Going GreenGoing green is so important becauseit gets a huge amount of chlorophyllinto your body.Chlorophyll has the power to regenerateour bodies at the molecular andcellular level and is known to helpcleanse the body, fight infection, helpheal wounds, and promote the healthof the circulatory, digestive, immune,and detoxification systems.Chlorophyll consumption increasesthe number of red blood cells andtherefore, increase oxygen utilizationby the body.Chlorophyll also reduces the bindingof carcinogens to DNA in the liver andother organs.It also breaks down calcium oxalatestones for elimination, which are createdby the body for the purpose ofneutralizing and disposing of excessacid.So getting a big injection of chlorophyllinto your diet is hugely important tohelp you get <strong>alkaline</strong>!
80As per point two, above in my five priciples– you have to focus on the small,simple stuff that has the most impactand in my opinion, getting green <strong>food</strong>sin is the single most powerful thing youcan do to dramatically change yourhealth, energy and vitality.You have to get greens in and while thismay seem daunting – here are a fewsuggestions to make it a LOT easier andless intimidating:Have a salad with every meal:Carry on eating what you’d normallyhave eaten, but just add a side salad(no unhealthy dressings though!). ThisTOTALLY takes the pressure off but thecumulative effect of having several saladsa day will have a big impact.Disguise green <strong>food</strong>s:You can shave broccoli heads with aknife over <strong>food</strong>s or into pasta sauce givingyou heaps of broccoli, but you can’tsee, taste or smell it. OR wilt spinachdown with a little butter, salt and pepper– this gives you a HUGE amount ofspinach in just a couple of mouthfuls.OR make pasta sauce by blendingtomatoes with steamed pumpkin, broccoli,spinach, watercress etc. When it’sall blended down it still tastes very richand tomato-ey, but you’ve got a heap ofgreen <strong>food</strong>s in there too!Get into Sprouts:Sounds weird but it’s SO worth it –sprouts are sprouted seeds of plantssuch as broccoli which, when harvestedat the sprout stage, contain all (or more)of the nutritional content of the fullygrown plant – this means you can easilyeat one handful and get a HUGE hitof nutrients. I’ve blogged heaps aboutsprouts (and have a guide coming) soclick here to read all about sprouts.Making sure you up your green <strong>food</strong>consumption from 0-1 times per day to3-5 times per day is easy and it will blowyour mind the difference it makes. Yourbody will thank you, I can absolutely assureyou.Step Two: Get Oiled Up!This is another really easy fix and issomething 90% of people are notcurrently doing:You HAVE to get at LEAST 2 tablespoonsof Omega 3 EVERY dayEating more oily fish is great for thehealth benefits this can bring, butyou’d have to eat a really silly amountto get enough omega 3 – and thisgoes twofold for eating nuts andseeds to get enough omega 3.Omega 3 deficiency was named in aHarvard Medical School researchpaper as being the 6th Biggest Killer inthe USA – yes it’s that important.It’s critical for our health, energy,metabolism, cardiovascular system,eyes, hair, skin, digestive system…everything – yet around 90% of peoplein the Western world are chronicallydeficient.If you change nothing else but add 2tablespoons (30ml) of omega 3 to yourdiet you will really see a massive differencein your body.
