This is a quintessential healthy food and it’s easy to understand that it’s an alkaline food.

Some people eat broccoli every day as a way to maintain good health and make sure they’re on the alkaline side.

Beetroot gets more attention now than ever before, and it’s one of the foods out there that will act to help raise your pH levels. The reason it’s an important vegetable to include in your arsenal is because it’s one of the only sources of the phytonutrient betalain which may have anti-cancer properties. Add these as a side, or use them as a salad topper. Be sure to buy this one fresh and steam it, as the pickled variety has reduced nutritional value.

There are a lot of things we can do with papaya leaves; it doesn’t really mean that you have to throw the leaves away when you’re through with the fruit. The leaf contains as much medicinal ability as the fruit itself. This article contains 10 examples of what you can do with papaya leaves.
Papaya is not just a fruit. Extracted from the ripe green papaya, or "pawpaw", is an enzyme called papain. Papain is used worldwide to make bread, cheese or alcohol.

You have probably all heard about the benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar. There are claims that it does everything from causing weight loss to healing bladder infections. Many variations of the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet have come down the pike over the years. Some of the diets recieved mixed reviews while others were touted as being the best thing since sliced bread.
If you can't stand the taste you can add juice or honey to the mix. In my opinion adding these things just makes it taste worse. The best thing you can do is to take it down quickly (just like a tequila shot). Make sure you rinse your mouth (or brush your teeth) with plain water after drinking apple cider vinegar as it can be hard on the enamel of your teeth. This is another reason for you to drink it quickly and not to sip it slowly.
