Many body builders are leaving out important nutrients from their diet, e.g., leafy greens, fruits and whole grains. Keep in mind while you are on high protein diets, which will help you lose fat and keep lean muscle you may be robbing your body of important minerals. Your body will not produce alkaline without vegetables therefore it will rob calcium out of your bones causing possible crystallization causing kidney stones.

Here are several products that help alkalize your body are the following:

MSM, Glutamine, Acid-A-Cal and Green Vibrance.

Tart cherries (ORAC) are nature’s powerful antioxidants, containing anti-inflammatory anthocyanins. Therefore, they may assist the body when in pain associated with arthritis and/or the gout. You may ask what’s ORAC — it means Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, which is the ability to scavenge free radicals.

It naturally produces your body’s natural melatonin to balance circadian rhythm to help induce sleep. Also, according to Pure Planet Products, Noni, gojiberry and mangosteen simply cannot compare to tart cherries because you need only “1″ (one) ounce a day for it to be beneficial rather than 2 to 4 ounces to obtain the full benefits.
