Sushma PS, chief dietitian at Jindal Naturecure Institute added, “The consumption of an alkaline salad promotes gastrointestinal health by incorporating ingredients characterised by low acidity levels and rich fibre, vitamin, and mineral content, which are essential for digestive well-being,” said Sushma.
According to Sushma, these ingredients are high in fiber and important nutrients that aid in digestion and provide necessary vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support gut health.
“Moreover, the nutrients present in these foods aid in mitigating gut inflammation, commonly associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Furthermore, the intake of alkaline foods contributes to the enhancement of the immune system, a reduced likelihood of developing chronic diseases and inflammatory ailments, balanced hormone levels, decreased body fat and weight coupled with enhanced muscle mass, heightened energy levels, diminished cancer risk, and improved cognitive function, perception, and mood. Additionally, individual dietary requirements and sensitivities vary, underscoring the importance of consulting with a healthcare professional before implementing significant dietary modifications,” said Sushma.
