Plot twist: Your body produces acid on a daily basis from a range of normal routine functions. While some acidity-spiking activities are more obvious, like drinking alcohol and caffeine, others might surprise you. Everything from breathing, metabolizing food, exercising, feeling stressed, and fasting also creates acidity in your body.
As nature would have it, the minerals stored in your tissues and bones naturally act as temporary buffers to your body’s acidity. They keep your blood and cellular pH balanced until those built-up acids are eliminated through things like exhalation and urination. But as I found out early on, adding an external alkalizing step into your daily routine is where your health will radically start to change.
After dealing with inflammation for years, moving to a more alkaline diet changed my life. You can alkalize in a few different ways, like drinking warm lemon water upon rising or eating dark leafy greens. But I noticed that the green juices I relied on would spike my blood sugar, going against everything else I was working on. That’s why I formulated SWW Alkalize Detoxifying Greens Powder, to give myself (and you) all the alkalizing benefits of green juice while still prioritizing whole plant fiber.
When you alkalize with greens first thing in the morning (and yes, that means before coffee), you help your body to detoxify the acids that have built up overnight and prime your gut for better digestion throughout the day. Our alkalize powder uses eight potent antioxidant-rich greens to target toxins, protect your cells, and reset your gut, without breaking your fat-burning fast.
How do you know whether your body needs help in the alkalizing department? Odds are, everybody needs some assistance. The stressors of modern life and the toxins we’re exposed to ramp up our acidity, giving us all the more reason to incorporate an alkalizing agent into our daily routine. But the telltale signs that you’re living in an acidic state are continually feeling sluggish, weighed down, not well-rested, constipated, or experiencing out-of-control food cravings.
When you’re in an alkaline state, you’ll experience better digestion, controlled hunger cues, boundless energy, better sleep, and glowy skin, hair, and nails. Alkalizing daily also has a crucial impact on regularity and acid reflux. If you think your morning bowel movement can only happen after that first cup of coffee, think again. SWW Alkalize was built to get your body’s digestion up and running.
If you find yourself in the “I have acid reflux but I can’t give up my coffee” camp, I hear you. Alkalizing is the answer. By reducing the acidity that’s built up in your body overnight, you prime your system to better process caffeine. After all, true health means not having to go without the things we love.
Real results start with simple habits, like a daily commitment to alkalizing for better energy and digestion. No matter the method, you’ll feel the difference, and the rest of your day will be all the better for it.
