Benefits of alkaline broth
Adopting an alkaline diet will help strengthen the immune system and ward off disease. A diet that contains alkaline broth and other alkaline foods can help treat and prevent lack of energy, acid reflux, nasal congestion, frequent colds and flu, headaches, anxiety and cysts. An alkaline diet may also help prevent kidney stones and osteoporosis. Also, because the body stores acid in fat cells, consuming a diet high in acid can result in the production of more fat. According to Better Body Wellness, many people have found that an alkaline diet helps them to shed excess fat.
Yield: 2.5 quarts.
Ingredients
... 2 quarts spring water
3 medium potatoes, diced
4 carrots, cubed
2 medium Spanish onions, chopped
1 small beet, diced
3 stalks celery, chopped
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 teaspoons dried, flaked dulse (seaweed)
Pinch of sage
Instructions
Wash and scrub all vegetables. Do not peel if organic (except do peel beets, even if organic).
Bring water to a boil. Add vegetables, bring back to a boil, then turn heat down to simmer. Cover the pot.
Simmer 20 minutes until vegetables are soft but not mushy.
Remove ⅔ cup of vegetables, blend in blender, and return to the soup to form a heartier broth.
This soup is alkaline and rich in minerals, especially potassium, which can be flushed out of the body when taking extra liquids (as in a fast).
