9 Alkaline Foods That Will Clean And Remove Acids From Your Body

Plum tomatoes are great because they are rich in vitamins A, C, E and also have a high water content.  They are beneficial for dieting as well as treating skin problems, treating infections of the urinary tract, bladder issues and even related cancers.  Their high water content stimulates urination and eliminates excess acid from our bodies, thus releasing them from our systems.

Grapefruits

This popular citrus fruit is great to eat as it is or as a freshly squeezed juice.  Its natural properties help boost metabolism, keep weight in check and eliminate excess fat clinging to your body.  Besides all this, it also happens to be low in sugar and alkaline-rich so it boosts alkaline levels and provides a healthy dose of vitamin C to boost immunity too.

Key limes

Another fruit of the citrus family, key limes are packed with vitamin C, therefore eliminating excess acid (including uric), toxins, bacteria, etc. from our urinary tract.  Accumulations of uric acid can result in inflammation and pain as this waste material’s presence gradually infects internal organs.  Key limes are effective at flushing out acids, including uric acid, from the body because they have anti-inflammatory properties.

Lemons

When life gives you lemons, make detox lemon juice – to cleanse your digestive system, detox your body and restore that healthy acidic balance.  Lemons are the superstars in natural remedies for treating flu, infections and for promoting weight loss.  Ironically, lemons contain citric acid, but they are actually wonderful alkaline-rich, low-sugar fruits and really health friendly.

Basil

Basil is often called the ‘king of herbs’ and it is a king rich in nutrients that you would usually have to get from different foods.  This popular Italian herb is rich in Vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and more.  These are all elements which reduce acid levels, detox the body, promote urination, clean out the kidneys and help in preventing kidney stones.

Cantaloupes

These are of the melon family and are rich in water, beta carotene, phytochemicals, and most of the B vitamins, all of which help your body get rid of and fight against excess acids and toxins.  Cantaloupes also help the immune system produce more white blood cells to effectively keep away those nasty toxins in addition to optimizing and balancing alkaline levels.
