Happy New Year! If you’re thinking of making a change in your diet for a healthier self, this is the perfect time to get started. Many New Year’s resolutions fizzle out after a few weeks when people realize that the hustle and bustle of every day life makes it too difficult to stick to a complicated workout regimen or diet.

That’s why we want to share an easy-to-adopt resolution that will help your body immensely this year. It doesn’t involve any drastic lifestyle changes or time-consuming practices – this resolution is all about tweaking what you consume.

Many of the most common – and most affordable – foods and beverages are highly acidic. Sodas, fast food and processed meals are all culprits. In order to detoxify yourself of built up acidity in the body, you need to consume alkaline foods and drinks.

Below are 10 foods we recommend consuming for a more alkaline diet this year…

1. Avocado

2. Spinach

3. Cucumber

4. Seaweed

5. Cayenne Pepper

6. Kale

7. Chia Seeds

8. Watermelon

9. Lemon

10. Garlic

Whether you’re making meals based around these foods or simply adding them to existing meals, they will all help ensure a healthier 2015!
