Detox now: Master Cleanse and achieve alkaline balance

Detoxification is an important step in restoring your body pH balance. You cannot achieve the ideal pH level without getting rid of the toxins accumulated in your body from years of eating acidic food.

Master Cleanse: Master Cleanse is a cleansing process prescribed by Stanley Burroughs in 1941 and populated by Peter Glickman in his book, Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days. A very popular process, it detoxifies your entire body in a matter of 10 days if you follow the prescribed diet schedule. Though Master Cleanse requires a great deal of control and patience, it is highly valuable for a person whose body is highly acidic. There are three phases to the Master Cleanse: Ease-In, The Lemonade Diet and Ease-Out. Each of one of these is a rigorous phase requiring a person to follow the instructions to the point.

Master Cleanse can be slightly altered and made into an acid-alkalinity balance cleanse with an alkaline alkaline diet plan. Below are a few suggestions on how you can master cleanse your acidic body environment:

1. Water: Start your cleanse with water. Take lots of lemon-juice squeezed water or alkaline water with/before/after your food. It would be remarkable if you can ionize your water and drink. Hydrate your body often and find a way to flush your toxins too. Lemonade is also an alternative option in this first step. However, water being a great solvent can be taken for a few days before you alternate it with lemonade.

2. Fruits and Vegetables: Add lots of fruits and vegetables to your diet plan. An ideal diet plan should start with a fresh vegetable juice for breakfast. You can replace your mid morning or afternoon snacks with vegetable juice. Raw vegetables add more value as they come with pristine fiber content. Take a lot of apples, avocado, bananas, spinach, carrot, broccoli, cucumber etc.

3. Herbal Teas, Supplements: Green teas and other herbal teas are great alkaline resources. They not just alkalize you, but also supply you with tons of energy. Supplements too help a lot in resetting your pH. There are hundreds of supplements rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium. You can take them to feed your alkaline reserves and strengthen your bones.

Instead of processed foods and beverages, you can go on the above diet plan for days – say, till you achieve your pH balance. Below is a proper diet plan from Detox Guide website which can be followed for achieving acid alkalinity balancing cleanse:
