12 Alkaline Fruits That Will Energize Your Life

, , , , , 0

Remember when we chatted about the Alkaline diet in our previous post? We thought it might be helpful to give you some more options so we put together a series and decided to share a list of our top 12 Alkaline Fruits to eat. From bringing health benefits like increasing energy and reducing inflammation, we will discuss why these 12 Alkaline Fruits will energize your life. We hope you enjoy incorporating these fruits into your diet as much as we do.

1. Apples: 

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” might sound cliché, but there’s truth in those words. Apples are the perfect alkaline fruit for an alkaline diet. They are high in fiber and vitamins, and let’s not forget, they’re the perfect on-the-go snack. Apples are a great source of soluble fiber, known as pectin, which helps in lowering cholesterol levels. There are so many different types to choose from. Which is your favorite?

2. Mangos:

Who doesn’t love a good mango? Sweet, juicy, and satisfying (when they are ripe of course), they’re alkaline-forming and packed with vitamins. These alkaline fruits are rich in vitamin A, crucial for eye health, and vitamin C, essential for immune function. They also contain mangiferin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties.

3. Currants: 

These tiny berries are packed with vitamin C, vital for immune health and collagen production. They also boast a high concentration of anthocyanins, antioxidants that support cardiovascular health. I love adding these to my salads, trail mix or in any recipe where you might use raisins.

4. Figs

Figs are a good source of calcium, important for bone health, and potassium, which helps to regulate blood pressure. These alkaline fruits aid in neutralizing stomach acidity. I absolutely love figs for their sweet flavor. Any time I see figs, I am reminded of visiting family in the Southern United States during the summer months.

5. Burro Bananas:

You might be wondering how these are different than “normal” bananas. They are different in several ways, but the most visible difference is in their size. They tend to be shorter and stubbier than a typical banana. These bananas are rich in vitamin C and B6, supporting immune and brain health. They also have a low glycemic index, making them ideal for blood sugar management.

6. Pears

Pears are not alkaline, but they are also super gentle on the stomach and brimming with fiber. Pears contain high levels of boron, a mineral that helps the body retain calcium, thus promoting bone health. They also have a high fiber content for digestive wellness.

7. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is like that friend who’s always refreshing to be around. This citrus gem is perfect for alkalizing your body and is loaded with Vitamin C. Plus, it’s a great ally in your weight loss journey. Aside from their benefits, grapefruits are also extremely tasty. I personally think ruby red grapefruit are the best tasting.

8. Muscadine Grapes

A surprising favorite of mine during the fall season are Muscadine Grapes. These were not my favorite grapes to consume as a kid, but somewhere along the journey of life, I came to really enjoy these. I later learned about their amazing health benefits. They are high in antioxidants and resveratrol, which help to keep your heart in top shape.

9. Strawberries:

Strawberries are more than just a summer fling. They’re alkaline fruit, rich in vitamin C, and perfect for keeping your blood sugar in check. I especially love to eat them in my fresh smoothies. Add them to your diet, and it’s like telling your body, “I’ve got you covered.

10. Key Limes

Key limes are more than a pie ingredient; they’re great for alkalizing the body. This may come as a surprise since they are a citrus fruit and citrus fruits tend to be associated with acidity. They’re packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and have anti-inflammatory properties, making them beneficial for overall health. These have become a staple in my kitchen! I use them almost daily by squeezing them in smoothies or in my water.

11. Dates:

Another surprising addition to my alkaline fruit list are Dates. Not only are they alkaline, but they are also sweet and nutritious. They’re high in fiber, which aids in digestion, and are a great source of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and copper. They also contain flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acid, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. I have used them in so many different recipes especially as a natural sweetener. I love to use them in my plant based milk recipes. You can also check out the video below and incorporate these dates into any of the options.

12. Watermelons

Last, but certainly not least on the list of the top 12 Alkaline Fruit are Watermelons. These are by far my favorite fruit are the summer. Watermelons are a great source of lycopene, which is beneficial for heart health and may lower the risk of certain types of cancer. They also help hydrate the body due to their high water content. I literally could write a book about the many benefits of watermelons. If you haven’t added these to your list of fruit, what are you waiting for?

That’s about it

Incorporating these alkaline fruits into your diet is not just great for your taste buds but it’s amazing for your overall health. Each fruit brings its unique set of nutrients and benefits, making them an essential part of a balanced diet. It was extremely hard to only select 12, but rest assured that we will share more.

Why Detox During the Autumn Equinox?

The Autumn Equinox marks a moment of balance between day and night, symbolizing equilibrium and harmony. It’s a reminder from nature that change is inevitable and necessary for growth.

  2. Increased Energy: Remove toxins, and you’ll likely experience a surge in energy levels, perfect for tackling autumn’s demands.

  3. Clearer Mind: A detox can also clear mental fog, leaving you feeling more focused and alert.

  4. Weight Management: Shedding excess waste can kickstart weight loss and improve digestion

Our 3-Day Detox Protocol:

Day 1: Preparation

  • Begin your detox with a plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
  • Stay hydrated with plenty of water or herbal teas.
  • Reduce caffeine and processed foods.

Day 2: Deep Cleansing

  • Embrace a day of juice fasting with fresh, homemade juices.
  • Incorporate detoxifying ingredients like lemon, ginger, and leafy greens.
  • Engage in light exercise or yoga to aid in the cleansing process.

Day 3: Recovery

The Vital Role of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Detoxification

, , , , , 0

In a recent blog, I talked about how eating vegan doesn’t necessarily mean eating healthy. I discussed how I had an allergic reaction to something I ate while on a trip. I shared my journey of dealing with skin rashes and how I eventually found relief by embracing a mostly fruit-based diet. You can check out that post here. A few weeks ago, we shared a reel about detoxifying smoothies that you can make. This time, I want to go deeper and explore other compelling reasons why you might want to detox and how fresh fruits and vegetables play a central role in this process.
Why You Might Want to Detox
Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They provide our bodies with the necessary nutrients to support various detoxification pathways. Seeded fruits like watermelon, papaya, and kiwi are not only delicious but also offer an extra dose of dietary fiber and healthy fats that aid in the elimination of toxins.

Seeded fruits like watermelon, papaya, and kiwi are not only delicious but also offer an extra dose of dietary fiber and healthy fats that aid in the elimination of toxins.
Choosing organic fruits and vegetables is a crucial step in detoxifying the body. Non-organic produce often contains pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that can accumulate in our systems over time. Organic varieties are grown without these harmful substances, ensuring that what you consume supports detoxification rather than adding to the toxin load.

Fiber-rich foods like leafy greens, apples, and berries promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. This is essential for detox because it helps eliminate waste and toxins from the body efficiently. Seeds found in fruits contribute to this by providing additional fiber, aiding in the cleansing process.

Is Eating Vegan Always Healthy?

Health Benefits of Fruits and Vegetables

One prevalent misconception is that adopting a vegan lifestyle guarantees good health automatically. When I first made the switch to a vegan diet, I experienced immediate benefits, such as alleviating allergy issues, shedding excess weight, and reducing body fat. Initially, I prepared most of my meals from scratch due to the limited vegan options available. However, over time, this became time-consuming, leaving me with little time for other activities. So, when I stumbled upon new “vegan” restaurants and products, I eagerly embraced them to save time and savor some delicious food.

Yet, as I delved into these convenient vegan options, I unintentionally fell into the trap of consuming a lot of vegan junk food—processed foods filled with sugars and refined flour. My diet became carb-heavy, which eventually led to skin issues. During a trip, I had a reaction to something I ate, resulting in an uncomfortable and alarming skin response. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my usual remedies on hand, and my skin condition worsened rapidly, leaving me frustrated and searching for a solution. When I finally returned home, I began treating my skin with a combination of natural remedies, including diatomaceous earth, sea moss gel, activated charcoal, and aloe vera. While these seemed to help at times, the improvement was inconsistent, leaving me feeling perplexed.
After a couple of weeks, I still experienced flaking issues despite using these products regularly. That's when I realized my diet was the missing link. I decided to embark on a three-day mostly fruit diet, focusing on watermelon, dark cherries, cucumbers, and honeydew, all of which were abundant and in season at the time. To my delight, my skin started to clear up, and I noticed a surge in energy.

Fruit to the Rescue

After a couple of weeks, I still experienced flaking issues despite using these products regularly. That's when I realized my diet was the missing link. I decided to embark on a three-day mostly fruit diet, focusing on watermelon, dark cherries, cucumbers, and honeydew, all of which were abundant and in season at the time. To my delight, my skin started to clear up, and I noticed a surge in energy.
However, during another trip, I ran out of fruits and resorted to buying quick, processed vegan meats. Unfortunately, this choice proved problematic, causing further reactions in my body. Intrigued by the ingredients, I discovered substances like Methylcellulose and Maltodextrin, which prompted me to rethink my approach. While I acknowledge that these “meats” played a role during my transition to veganism, I no longer feel dependent on them to wean myself from meat.
Additionally, my affection for white potatoes and vegan sweets presented another challenge, but I realized it was time for a change. I embraced a diet primarily centered around fruits, significantly reducing processed foods and sugars, and once again witnessed a marked improvement in my skin health.

So, if you’ve ever questioned whether it’s possible to be an unhealthy vegan, my experience underscores the importance of being mindful of our food choices and the impact they can have on our overall well-being.
