Have you heard of the Alkaline Diet? If not, it is basically the practice of replacing acidic foods with alkaline foods. So, what’s the difference between these foods? Acidic foods include red meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, grains, and alcohol. Conversely, alkaline foods include fruits, nuts, legumes, and vegetables. Achieving an alkaline diet is as easy as substituting the acidic foods that many of us consume in our daily lives with alkaline foods. You may be wondering, “What are the benefits of adopting an alkaline diet? What exactly will this diet do for me?” These are fair questions. It isn’t easy to cut out popular parts of your current diet without good reason. At Marathon Physical Therapy, we are strong proponents for the Alkaline Diet – here’s why: 1. The Alkaline Diet helps maintain basic pH levels in your body. When pH levels are acidic, it is easier for your body to develop harmful ailments. By keeping pH levels basic (increasing their alkalinity), this diet is able to protect against such ailments. 2. The Alkaline Diet can improve your metabolism. Acidic foods are more difficult for your body to break down than alkaline foods. By consuming foods that are more easily digested, you can greatly improve your metabolism and burn carbs faster. 3. The Alkaline Diet is healthier! Simply put, the Alkaline Diet is a great way to promote healthier lifestyle choices. It encourages an increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, and other plant- based foods, while restricting processed foods, junk foods, and alcohol. If you are looking for a simple way to increase your health, the Alkaline Diet can greatly benefit you! Are you looking for more ways to improve your health?

Healthy Recipe MINI FETA & POTATO FRITTATAS
INGREDIENTS • 2 ½ tsp coriander seeds • 2 tsp dried minced/sliced garlic • 2 tsp dried oregano • ¾ tsp freshly grated nutmeg • ½ tsp Aleppo pepper • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 cup diced Yukon Gold potato • ½ tsp kosher salt, divided • 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise & cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices • 3 cups baby arugula • 8 large eggs • ½ cup heavy cream • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat six 6-ounce oven-proof ramekins with cooking spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Finely grind coriander and garlic in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl and stir in oregano, nutmeg and Aleppo. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, potato, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned around the edges, about 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl until blended. Whisk in cream and the remaining spice blend. Divide the vegetable mixture and half of the feta among the prepared ramekins. Pour in the egg mixture and top with the remaining feta. Bake for 25 minutes.
