Touching on the transition from the alkaline diet a bit, I’d like to talk about the importance of a detox or cleanse. To try and give you a better idea of how this works, let’s pretend we’re cleaning the outside of our body for a minute. Now most girls wear makeup, right? Suppose the alkaline diet is “makeup” and a “shower” is cleansing. As beautiful as makeup on a dirty face can make a woman look, she would probably look and feel much better with a shower before hand. In this way the makeup would be applied on a freshly cleansed face. Our thinking should be similar when we talk about the alkaline diet. As wonderful as alkaline foods are for our bodies, we still need to clean out the old debris inside. We do this with a body cleanse.
The body cleanse will explode your energy and shed some unwanted weight. When starting an alkaline diet, the results of a detox or cleanse are very encouraging to keep you on track. Try doing a cleanse for a week after you have consulted a doctor. Drinking plenty of water is key during a cleanse. Make sure you drink about four liters a day. Try to juice during most of the cleanse. There are plenty of alkaline cleaning products available or if you just want juice you can do that too. When juicing alkaline vegetables, try adding purified or ionized water to it. Even put a few pH drops in there to make the clean as alkaline as possible. If you cannot go through the entire detox or cleanse without consuming food. Make sure what you eat is alkaline as it will do what’s best for your body. Don’t be discouraged, a two or three day clean is still better than nothing.
