If there is one thing reality TV star Millie Mackintosh is known for, it is her amazingly fit body. It’s clear that exercise is a regular part of her routine… but is there a diet secret that the rest of us can learn from? Maybe so.
According to sources, Millie is a fan of the alkaline diet. As such, she avoids sugar and junk foods and tends to eat organic healthy foods, including “green drinks”. She also adds coconut to her blueberry breakfast omelet, which adds a healthy dose of manganese to the dish. Manganese, in turn, aids in the metabolism of fats and proteins. It also supports the immune and nervous systems, and aides in the stabilization of blood sugar.
If you’d like to boost your metabolism with the alkaline diet, try some of these alkaline-boosting foods that are known to be high in manganese:
I have heard of pH balancing the system through foods and it does work. Dark greens like kale and spinach are excellent for doing this. I also love using coconut oil for everything. It is great for detoxing the system and one of the best natural moisturizers in the world. I also love chia seeds for all the nutrients and minerals. I eat those on a daily basis. I swear by them. People assume they can get great bodies without proper diet, which may be the case for some, but rarely can you achieve a fit body through exercise alone.
