Eating too many acidic foods such as meat and eggs can result in an acidic imbalance. This can cause indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. Luckily, there are a number of refreshingly tasty alkaline foods that will counteract these effects and soothe your digestion. Here are foods that you can start cooking up regularly.
Green Leafy Vegetables
Green leafy vegetables such as rocket, spinach, kale, and lettuce are rich in minerals and have a distinctly alkaline feel. Mix them into fresh salads or as a complementary side dish and they will leave you feeling soothed and refreshed.
Cucumber
Cucumbers are soothingly alkaline, as well as being composed of about 95% water. This will not only please your digestive system, but will also help keep you hydrated. A great way of eating cucumbers is in an alkaline-rich salad made of cucumber, avocado, and rocket.
Onions and Garlic
You’ll be pleased to hear that onions are garlic are both alkaline foods. This is good news, since they are the base for most of the food that we cook.
Root Vegetables
Root vegetables such as beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes are good alkaline foods that will calm your stomach. They’re best roasted and season in lots of herbs and spices.
