We know that we can make anything vegan, from ice cream to recreating our favorite comfort foods. Plant-based foods may be slowly stealing the spotlight, but one diet that’s still hanging around the outskirts is the alkaline diet. So, what is an alkaline diet and how can we incorporate it into our everyday meals?
Proponents of the diet believe that the human body functions best in an alkaline state, which is when the body’s pH is at around 7.4. It’s believed that an alkaline diet can improve digestion, help prevent osteoporosis, allergies, fatigue, and other conditions. Anything below 7.0 is considered acidic, which can lead to a number of health problems. Alkaline diets are believed to release minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium into our bloodstreams. But, when we aren’t consuming enough alkaline foods, then our bodies have to absorb these essential minerals from our bones, teeth, and organs. This can make us fatigued or susceptible to illnesses. To be fair, there is little scientific evidence that backs the health benefits of a high-alkaline diet. In spite of that, alkaline foods are among the healthiest plant-based foods that we could eat, while acidic foods include fast and processed foods, meat, and dairy.
Some of the many foods considered alkaline include avocados, tomatoes, peas, bell peppers, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato, lentils, and more. So, if you’re interested in trying your hand at some delicious plant-based alkaline food-rich recipes, get started with these 15 delicious recipes!
