Again, we are in the time when everyone is in the mood to make their New Year’s resolutions. As usual, weight loss will top everyone’s list. Because every New Year, like birthdays, tends to make people think about a portion of their youth is fleeting away. Finding ways nowadays to keep that youthful look and being filled with vibrant energy is equally important as trimming down the holiday weight.
Fortunately, there are some proven ways that can slow down the effects of time. And, as you are lucky now, that will be shown to you here.
The first thing that we have to look into is why people age prematurely. Once we understand this, we can then stop it, and sometimes even reverse it to some extent.
Why you see so many people looking old, and even physically haggard, before their time is quite simple: they have been living an acidic lifestyle.
However, there is great news, because you can still change this now. At the moment you begin changing your diet and decide to start living healthy, you will immediately begin to feel better and eventually look younger. You just have to make that decision to get rid of that acid lifestyle that you are in now and begin what we call an “alkaline” living.
With some help, you can easily shift into that alkaline life. You’ll shed weight, you’ll feel better, and you’ll look younger. And I'm sure you’ll never want to go back to living “the other way.”
So, let’s get to it...
Changing your diet is the most important part of living alkaline. That's just exactly what you need in order to be successful in your weight loss attempt.
But let us first understand what it means when I say you're living an acidic lifestyle. It simply means that you are ingesting foods and liquids that are acidic. This is not good and terribly harmful for your body.
There is an exhaustive list of items that can cause your body to age at a seemingly faster rate. These are foods and liquids you must avoid at all costs, and while there isn’t enough space here to provide that full list, I’ll provide you with some items in the list so you can get started. They are:
• Chocolates, candies, cookies and other, similar foods with high sugar content cause the body to store harmful acids.
• Breads, rolls, and pastries are serious offenders and are notorious for packing on the weight.
• Beer, wine, and liquor.
• Spaghetti sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, salad dressing, and most other condiments - it’s the little things, such as these, that most people don’t think about while preparing their food. You can actually ruin a nice, healthy salad by drowning it in dressing.
• Processed meat, like most luncheon meats, are full of ingredients and preservatives that will just bloat your body with acid.
• Soda, whether you drink lemon-lime, cola, or even root beer, you are harming your body. In addition to causing the acidic build-up, sodas also cause you to gain weight.
Now that you know some of the things you can’t eat, I bet you’re wondering, “WHAT’S LEFT?” Well, now we can learn about living in what we call the alkaline life.
Trust me, you’re going to lose weight, look great, and be happy.
In order to purge yourself of the toxins, those “acids,” which have been gathering in your body for so many years, you need to start eating foods that are nutrient rich, not calorie rich.
When choosing foods that will create an alkaline environment in your body. You want protein in the form of lean cuts of fresh meat, chicken breast, fish, and raw vegetables. You might also seriously want to consider going organic. First, you get a higher quality of food. Second, the price difference when eating organic really isn’t that much, especially considering how important it is to your health.
Start eating the right way, and you will do more than just lose weight. You will begin a reversal of the aging process, and you will really notice a change in your physical, as well as your mental, wellness.
In order to supplement your diet, I suggest juicing as much as possible. It’s a great habit to get into. You are able to ingest more nutrient-rich vegetables in a shorter amount of time, and it’s something for which your body will really thank you.
If you have absolutely no idea what juicing is, don’t worry. It’s easy, and we’ll get into it in more depth at another time. In the meantime, you can substitute juicing with a “green drink,” which is a very easy, timesaving alternative.
Something else you are definitely going to want to add to your diet is fresh water and plenty of it. Soda and all those sugary juices just don’t cut it, no matter how “diet” or “healthy” they claim to be - they slow down weight loss with every sip.
So, that’s it. Creating that alkaline environment in your body and living healthy is a simple, straightforward process. Eat turkey, eat tuna, fill your diet with raw vegetables (organic if you can do it), and lots of fresh water.
You may need a little adaptation to this kind of lifestyle cold turkey, especially if you’ve been living unhealthy for most of your life. I strongly suggest making the change in gradual manner, like taking water for soda, and then introducing more greens into your diet. As you begin to feel the wonderful change overtake your body, the rest of the switch to the alkaline lifestyle will be easy and your weight loss will be permanent.
