The Best Diet For Quitters

If you want to feel better have more energy and ward off most diseases, learn more about alkaline foods and include more of them in your diet. If you follow this rule of thumb you will be naturally choosing the best diet for quitters. 

Alkaline foods increase oxygen, encourage the “feel-good” body chemicals, and increase energy. Eating a high-alkaline diet will encourage you to get more exercise, and refrain from smoking.

 

You will also find yourself thinking happier thoughts.

The Impact of an Out-of-Balance Body:

In the body a mildly acidic (opposite of alkaline) condition for a short period of time will not have a big affect on your body. However, most people have extremely poor diets and highly stressful lives, which leads to chronically acidic conditions. This can be devastating to your body and overall well-being. Some of the negative affects include:

*bloating and water retention
*acne and other skin conditions
*weak hair or nails
*trouble maintaining weight
*trouble losing weight
*joint pain
*headaches
*irritability
*cramps
*indigestion
*frequent colds
*allergies

Studies have established that the higher the alkalinity of the body as indicated by a higher pH level, the greater the amount of oxygen that the blood is able to absorb.

 

This value is significant because in recent years, scientists also discovered that the inability or diminished capacity of our blood to absorb oxygen is what leads to negative health conditions and diseases such as cancer, heart disorders, neurological disorders, diabetes and various infections.

 

And here’s the connection between higher oxygen levels in our bloodstream and eating green, chlorophyll-filled foods:

 

Many or most foods in the high pH category are green and filled with chlorophyll with a molecular structure absolutely identical to hemoglobin except for the center atom. In hemoglobin this is iron, whereas in chlorophyll it is magnesium.

 

This means that when ingested, chlorophyll actually helps to do the job of hemoglobin (hemoglobin is so vital to the health of our blood – in fact, blood is approx 75% hemoglobin). It helps to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, boosting our energy and increasing our wellbeing almost instantly.

 

I know this sounds a bit like the old ancient Japanese legend that eating brains makes you smarter – BUT – eating/drinking chlorophyll does increase the quality AND quantity of your red blood cells.

 

Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level and is known to help cleanse the body, fight infection, help heal wounds, and promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, immune, and detoxification systems. Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore, increase oxygen utilization by the body.

 

Chlorophyll also reduces the binding of carcinogens to DNA in the liver and other organs. It also breaks down calcium oxalate stones for elimination, which are created by the body for the purpose of neutralizing and disposing of excess acid.

 

Other Chlorophyll Benefits:

So in addition to helping to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, chlorophyll, being highly alkaline, also gives the body the following benefits:

Anti Carcinogenic: Chlorophyll protects against a whole host of carcinogens found in fungus-laden foods such as nuts and grains, the toxins from cooked meats, and air-borne carcinogens (from pollution). It blocks the metabolism in the body of harmful chemicals known as procarcinogens that damage DNA. Studies published in the journals “Carcinogenesis” and “Food and Chemical Toxicology” clearly display that chlorophyll inhibits carcinogenesis.

 

Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: containing high levels of the vitamins A, C and E, chlorophyll has strong antioxidant capacity and has also been found to help reduce inflammation.

 

Chelation of Heavy Metals: Chlorophyll is one of the most important chelates in nature. It’s ability to bind to and remove toxic heavy metals such as mercury makes it an extremely powerful healer. I’m about to have four mercury fillings removed, and you can bet that I will be getting PLENTY of chlorophyll into my body after the procedure!

 

Antiseptic: While chlorophyll doesn’t actually have antiseptic properties of its own, it, quite remarkably, DOES have the ability to aid our body’s tissue in destroying germs. By strengthening tissue, it increases the disease resistance of cells and, at the same time, prevents the growth of bacteria!

 

Treats Bad Breath: This one is a real bonus and really works! Chlorophyll has a double-action remedy for bad breath. Firstly, as a deodorizer, it will eliminate odors in the mouth and throat, but secondly (and more importantly) it promotes a healthy digestive tract – which is the primary reason for bad breath.

 

Rapid Delivery of Magnesium: This has a highly alkalizing effect on the body and helps to deliver much needed oxygen to cells and tissues.
Contains vitamin K, C, folic acid, iron, calcium, protein: which are all also essential in building and repairing red blood cells and boosting our immune system.

 

How to Get the Benefits of Chlorophyll:

All of the health benefits of chlorophyll are easy to get on a daily basis. The simple way? Eat your greens and drink your greens. I know we are always going on about the importance of greens in your diet, but this is one of the main reasons why – it ensures you’re getting plenty of chlorophyll!
