The alkaline diet has been around for a long time and it is only getting more popular with each coming year. The basic idea behind the alkaline diet is to eat food that is above 7-8 on the pH scale.
Alkaline foods are said to be healthier and easier to digest. In addition to that, they can also help prevent allergies and fatigue as well as obesity.
Even your precious canine friends can have an alkaline diet which can help them live healthier longer.
Some naturally alkaline foods are Lentils, Coconuts, Turnips, Kale, Quinoas, and many more that we will discuss in some delicious vegan recipes below.
