Eat more veggies and fruits. Even if you don\u2019t go any further down this list, taking this one step can instantly make a huge difference.2. Reduce soda intake, or eliminate it altogether.3. Replace refined carbs with roots and gourds.4. Add fresh lemon and lime to your water. Though we typically think of citrus fruits as acidic, they\u2019re highly alkalizing in the body (limes especially).5. Consider cooking with sea vegetables. For some of you, I know this is \u201cout of the question!\u201d But if you\u2019re willing to try new ingredients, why not experiment with packaged sea veggies available in the health-food or Asian section of your supermarket?6. Drink 64 ounces of high-mineral spring water daily.7. Limit animal protein. Try to limit your animal protein sources (beef, chicken, pork, eggs, and dairy products) to 1 serving or less per day and increase plant-based protein sources.8. Add cinnamon, ginger, and other herbs and spices.9. Monitor your urinary pH. Track your first morning urine pH (after at least 6 hours of sleep) to know how your nutritional changes are affecting your body. When this number is between 6.5 (slightly acidic) and 7.5 (slightly alkaline), it suggests that your overall cellular pH is where it should be \u2014 slightly alkaline.10. Supplement your diet with a high-quality multivitamin\u2013mineral complex. No matter how attentive we are to what we eat, where it\u2019s from, and how we dish it up, we can\u2019t always have a perfectly balanced diet.
