Alkalize the Body and KICK THE HABIT

Stop Smoking easy When doctors at Columbia University, USA measured the acidity or alkalinity of smokers' bodies, they found that those with the highest acid balance also smoked the most. The reason for this is that acidity actually increases the speed at which nicotine  leaves the body, making you crave another cigarette faster. An alkaline diet, however, slows the rate  at which nicotine leaves the system, reducing cravings and making stopping easier. When researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in the USA tried the diet on smokers cutting down over five weeks, only one was smoking at the end of the trail-and they were only on two cigarettes a day. The others had all stopped. Why is magnesium and potassium important for alkalizing the body? Greens from It Works is the perfect source to alkalize the body, all fresh fruits and vegetables have important alkalizing benefits, but a diet of those highest in potassium is best for maintaining an alkaline, pH-balanced body. Each serving of Greens provides 260 mg of potassium in the form of potassium citrate, the strongest alkalizing agent found in citrus fruit. An acidic body is not only low in potassium, but likely low in magnesium as well, as magnesium is important for regulating your body's potassium levels. When your body is unbalanced and overly toxic, it tries to counteract that acidity by releasing calcium and magnesium from the bones to promote an alkaline pH, which can lead to magnesium deficiency within the body. How is the probiotic in Greens important for detoxification? During and after you quit smoking you'll need to detoxify you system, a healthy digestive system is crucial to keeping the body balanced and detoxified by adequately removing toxins and waste. Greens includes LactoSpore, a cutting-edge probiotic to help the body maintain an optimal balance of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, helping to keep your digestive system regular and maximizing nutrient absorption within the body.   Benefits of taking a multivitamin It is also important to feed your body proper daily nutrition, It's Vital Core Nutrition supplies your body with the essential vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients you need for the best overall health and wellbeing right when you need them.
