Quiz Outcomes

  Mostly Acidic

  Image Source

  When it comes to creating an alkaline body, you’re new to the game... but you’re off to an awesome start! By completing this quiz, you’ve begun to take your health and happiness into your own hands.You’ve made a big, brave step towards committing to positive change, and if that isn’t worth celebrating, what is? Maybe you want to have more energy, sleep a little deeper, or decrease your stress levels…Whatever your goals may be, rest assured that with a little guidance and support you can achieve — even exceed — them.Mostly Acidic means that the majority of your food and lifestyle choices fall on the acidic end of the spectrum. This leads to a lot of added stress in your life, blocks the production of energy, creates inflammation (& weakens your immune system) and makes you more reactive. However, this can be changed by adding some simple, alkalizing routines to your day. Three tips to help you on your path to a healthy, alkaline lifestyle...1) Move Your Body Every DayExercise doesn’t have to look like you sweating it out in an overcrowded gym. Move your body every day, but in a way that feels good to you. While treadmills, ellipticals, and similar cardio machines are a great option if you’re short on time, they can get a little boring if you don’t switch up your routine.Instead of forcing yourself to spend an hour doing something you really aren’t in the mood for, ask yourself what physical activities you genuinely enjoy. It could be something simple as raking the leaves in your front yard or taking a relaxing walk along the creek with friends or family. If you pick something that lights you up, you’re way more likely to get out there and actually do it. Just make sure it's an activity that helps you break a sweat, because that's what makes it alkaline!2. Rethink Your Sleep RoutineAccording to a recent study, insomnia is on the rise… And it’s no wonder when you think of our culture’s high stress levels and total reliance on technology. Computer and smartphone screens emit a wavelength of light in the blue spectrum, which signals your body to wake up. When you use your devices within two or three hours of bedtime, your body can’t make the melatonin it needs for a refreshing, rejuvenating sleep…So pick your ideal lights out time and press pause on your screens well before then!On top of that, try managing the stress that might be keeping you up after hours by taking up meditation. This will lower your cortisol levels throughout the day so that by night you’re able to fall fast asleep.For the most alkalizing sleep, aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.3. Cut Out Highly-Processed SnacksMaybe you’ve heard this tip a million times, but I’m going to say it again because it truly is that important. Clean those highly-processed snacks out of your cupboard. I’m not just talking about the chocolate bars and marshmallows.Many supposedly nutritious foods such as pasta, peanut butter, and granola bars are jam-packed with sugar, salt, and chemicals that non-scientists can’t even hope to pronounce.Find whole-food alternatives to your favorite snacks. I.e. instead of highly-processed fruit leathers, try drying apples, apricots, or whatever suits your fancy with produce straight from the farmer’s market. Even junk foods like potato chips can get a healthy makeover! Don’t be scared to get a bit creative because these highly processed foods fall on the highest end of the acidifying spectrum!Please keep in mind that while these test results are based on the answers you gave, there are MANY factors that contribute to alkalinity and acidity in your body. This test in just to give you an idea of where your daily habits have you leaning on the scale. This is also for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. "Who’s this gal preaching about alkalinity?" Let me introduce myself...Hey there 🙋‍♀️ I’m Jordan Wavra, certified Holistic Nutritionist & Energy Healer. I help busy mamas nourish themselves holistically so they can feel better, have more energy and decrease the stress in their lives. I believe that nutrition shouldn't be complicated and we don't need a "fad" diet to feel good. We just need to be more mindful. What's really in our food? What are we exposed to in our environment? How are we managing our stress? Many of us are not aware of how food and our overall lifestyle can impact our health. Yes, there are the physical effects of food like weight gain (or weight loss,) but our food & lifestyle choice do so much more than that. They can affect our mood, stress levels, emotions, and energy levels. Being mindful of these little things that we do throughout the day can make a huge difference in your journey to living your healthiest, most energetic life.Looking for a little extra guidance?

  Slightly Alkaline

  When it comes to creating an alkaline body, you know what you're doing! You've got a pretty good idea of what nourishes your body and you try to stay clear of what doesn't. Although, you still enjoy the occasional indulgence.Slightly Alkaline means that the many of your food and lifestyle choices fall on the alkaline end of the spectrum. This is a good thing because alkalinity helps our body produce energy and fight off stress. It also cultivates better moods and makes us more responsive and positive throughout the day. Be careful though, because you're right on the edge. Be mindful of your indulgences so as to not fall into the acidifying category.Three tips to help you boost your alkalinity!1) Eliminate Delayed Food Allergies!What's a superfood for one person can be kryptonite for another! Delayed food allergies are caused when proteins found in food get into the blood stream and create an immune response. The body starts attacking it like it's a pathogen, creating an acidic affect in the body when you eat it. Finding and eliminating any delayed food allergies can create huge shifts in your overall health. 2. Filter Your WaterHow safe is your drinking water? Water utilities testing has consistently found pollutants in tap water year after year. Heavy metals, pesticides, Rx meds, PFAS, and other contaminants are consistently found in tap water. "The federal government’s legal limits are not health-protective. The EPA has not set a new tap water standard in almost 20 years, and some standards are more than 40 years old." - EWG.orgGetting a high quality water filter can make a huge difference in the health of your water and the health of your body. 3. Pay Attention To How Food Is Affecting YouNot all food is created equal. Even the "healthy" foods can have antinutrients, like lectins, that can interfere with the absorption of nutrients in the body. They can also interfere with the digestion of your food, which can cause gastrointestinal issues. Be mindful of how you feel several hours (or even days) after eating foods that contain antinutrients. If you notice bloating, headaches, brain-fog or indigestion, chances are the foods that these foods may not be agreeing with your body.
