High Alkaline Foods
  and Body Alkalinity

High alkaline foods are usually associated with the foods and drinks that are green in color. 

A lot of people will turn to a green juice in the morning for more body alkalinity. 

However, there are other foods to choose from and high alkaline foods can include herbs which can assist you in achieving more body alkalinity. 

For example, medicinal herbs like the Japanese mushroom called Reishi have a very powerful effect on body alkalinity.

Health Benefits of Reishi

The Japanese mushroom called Reishi has a 4000 year record of being used in Japanese and in Chinese medicine. 

Reishi helps the body remove the build-up of toxins and allows the body's natural immune system to strengthen itself. 

It has also been described as the "Mushroom of Immortality".

Properties of Reishi

  • Anti-Inflammatory
  • Anti-Viral
  • Anti-Parasitic

The Chinese name for this mushroom is Ling Zhi and it means "Herb of Spiritual Potency".

Blue Green Algae for Body Alkalinity

Blue green algae like spirulina is another alkaline food for body alkalinity and it contains an ample amount of chlorophyll. 

And chlorophyll has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. 

Blue green algae has one of the highest percentages of chlorophyll of any food on the planet. 

Chlorophyll is often referred to as the blood of a plant and it has the ability to purify your blood. 

The chlorophyll molecule found in blue green algae like spirulina has something in common with the hemoglobin molecule in your blood. 

They have the same geometry - which is 12 atoms surrounding a central 13th atom.

The central atom in chlorophyll is magnesium and in hemoglobin the central atom is iron.

Spirulina can be a great source of important alkalizing minerals like magnesium and does qualify as a high alkaline food.

Did you know that spirulina is a complete protein source? 

However, it does appear that spirulina will need to be fermented in order to receive the many benefits of spirulina.
