Alkaline Diet Q&A #11 : What to do during pregnancy

The Alkaline Diet Q&A’s: Your Alkaline Questions Answered!

Hi all – every day I (Ross) answer somewhere between 10-50 alkaline diet questions that land in my inbox. It’s something I love doing and I recently realised I should be sharing some of the best!

Just like with my massive World’s Biggest Alkaline Diet Webinar™ where I answered over a hundred questions from my subscribers on video – EVERYONE benefitted from the answers.

It was a super-powerful training session, really getting into the nitty gritty of the ‘hands on’ part of getting healthy.

[Q&A Webinar Replay: You can catch the full replay of that Q&A Webinar and leave me your questions there too]

So each week I’ll be posting the best and most relevant alkaline diet Q&A so that all of you can benefit from my answers!

What to do during pregnancy

Hi Ross

I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant and extremely constipated. I would like to get back to being more alkaline and now that I’m getting over morning sickness I think I am ready. I would like to attempt the alkaline cleanse but want to know if it’s safe to do being pregnant? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hey Nancy

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, you don’t want to do anything that might encourage a ‘detox’ to occur in your body. This will put the toxins into your bloodstream and into contact with your little one. So you need to do things very moderately and at a gentle pace.

I definitely would not do a cleanse while pregnant (and for guys, I wouldn’t do a cleanse three months prior to trying either).

Start by simply adding more green, alkaline foods, more omega oils, more fibre, – juices, soups and smoothies are great. You can still follow the suggestions in my first two videos in my new training series, but just give the third video (about cleansing) a wide birth!
