5 Highly Alkaline Foods for Acid Reflux – Start Feeling Better Today!
5 Highly Alkaline Foods for Acid Reflux – Start Feeling Better Today!
Know how and what to eat. It’s simple but not simple.
Food choice is essential for those who want to naturally cure their Acid Reflux or GERD. The selection of the type of food and the quantity of which it is consumed in a regular basis will help relieve acidity symptoms and prevent further aggravation from occurring. You should be able to have an acid-alkaline food chart at all times (these can be easily found in the internet by a simple search), as this will aid you a lot during treatment.
For the record, you will find that most of these foods listed below are in the fruit and vegetable category.
1. Lemons - contrary to the public notion that they are acidic, lemons are in fact alkaline. Very alkaline. 2 lemons a day is excellent for you and some people have opted to gradually increase their consumption daily (lemon therapy). Although others have found that it does not work well for their stomach (but not for acidity reasons), it does not discount the fact that this fruit helps.
2. Apples - you’ve heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Well, if you are experiencing acid reflux and have had multiple visits to the hospital, there is certainly truth to this timeless saying. Rich in antioxidants, 1-2 apples daily can go a long way in relieving a problematic stomach. You can consume the first between breakfast and lunch, and the second one between lunch and dinner. Treat it as a snack. Personally, I have stuck to this fruit strategy until now.
3. Mangoes - this fruit is very alkaline as well, and you can combine it with any of the first two fruits mentioned. Besides its antioxidant and anti-cancer properties, the mango is a fruit with a superb taste!
4. Spinach - for those of you who are familiar with the cartoon character, “Popeye the Sailor”, I am most certain that he did not have a history of GERD. This vegetable contains a fantastic deal of vitamins and most importantly minerals – which can restore pH balance, especially if you are suffering from high acidity (which prompts your immune system to get minerals from other parts of your body).
5. Watercress - here’s a highly alkaline vegetable that’s often overlooked in the supermarket. Again, like spinach it is highly nutritious and serves as a natural mineral supplement.
You can also increase your chances of recovering from any digestive problem, if you combine your natural alkaline-rich diet with other natural ways of treatment.
Bear in mind that digestive disorders such as GERD, Acid Reflux, and Heartburn are the #1 reason people visit their doctors today. The #1 reason.
On a personal note, have you given it serious thought if you are really curing your Acid Reflux, or making it worse? I despise to admit it, but when I learned what conventional medicine was really doing to my body, I was enraged!
Exposing all thes shocking truths that your doctor failed to tell you wouldn’t be enough to fit in this article alone, so I encourage you to find out how to place an end to your digestive pain and misery by visiting http://healmyacidreflux.com
The author suffered immensely and intensely from GERD (Acid Reflux), and thought he was either going to die young because of it, or live to be 100 (as his doctor assuredly told him) but be miserable and in pain the rest of his life – until that breakthrough moment in his life, when he found that there is a better and natural way to cure his condition.

Health food stores have always been mysterious places. Back in the late 1970′s, early 1980′s, health food stores occupied a small niche in society that was close to being underground. They came along on the heels of the hippy movement of the 60′s and often served as a place for communes to sell their homegrown wares. The health food stores smelled of herbs, incense and a few other things that generally defied description. There were weird and exotic foods from all over the globe, all of them claiming to be organic or free range. There were things like granola, soymilk, goat’s milk, tofu and wheat grass juice. You could find books on such subjects as natural healing, crystal therapy and composting.
Wild Oats is a franchise in many cities and when you go into the store, you can tell straight away that the basic Mom and Pop operation had changed. This particular chain started eighteen years ago in Boulder, Colorado and has expanded over the years to include more than 110 stores in 24 states and British Columbia. It is clear to see how this company became the standard for the organic market industry.
At first glance, their store looks like any other large grocery store, and you can probably find many of the same items that you would in a standard grocery store – but with one twist. Everything is organic. Usually when you hear the word organic, you might reckon two things; bland and expensive. But, with all the options and improvements in the way of organic foods are produced, there are many items that are very tasty, and the prices have become comparable to those of a conventional grocery store.
The overall concept of the health food store hasn’t changed. They still offer a wide range of organic foods and herbal remedies. They are filled with all kinds of products to heal the body, mind and spirit. You can find aromatherapy candles, essential oils, books, tapes, and DVD’s on meditation and yoga. You can take cooking classes and learn how to make your own herbal remedies. There are still aisles dedicated to environmentally safe products for household cleaning and recycling.
Some additions are a pleasant surprise, though. There can be four different “deli” counters. There is usually a butcher counter with free-range chicken and beef and a plethora of fresh seafood. Another counter may show an array of incredible baked goods (bagels, cakes and pastries), and in many stores there is yet another section that caters full meals for a quick healthy lunch or a dinner party. The modern health food store also had a section for wine and beer, an astounding array of cheeses, and an extensive frozen foods section.
It is excellent to see how far the basic health food store has come. Sure you can still find the small ones if you look for them, but like so many other things these days, huge corporations have taken over and made franchises that offer more for less. Buying in bulk allows the stores to get better discounts and pass the savings on to the consumer.
