What Are Alkaline-Forming Foods?

“But what are alkaline-forming foods?” You ask. They
are, generally speaking, organic, raw fruits and vegetables,
salads and leafy greens and lightly steamed vegetables.
Three-fifths of your diet should be composed of fruits
and vegetables, both raw and cooked. It’s always best to
enjoy your raw fresh fruit or a raw vegetable garden salad
before you eat any cooked foods. See recipe on page 231.
The alkaline forming foods are the most important
to your body. Some of you will say, “raw fruits and
vegetables give me gas, etc.” That is because you are on
the acid side and, when you eat the alkaline foods, they
start to houseclean and move the toxins out of your
bloodstream and body. So you avoid eating them and
use the weak excuse that they don’t agree with you. They
do agree with you and your toxic body definitely needs
them to help get you clean, healthy and alkaline!
