Alkaline VS Acidic Foods : The benefits of eating an alkaline diet .

Eating an alkaline diet is important because our blood pH level needs to stay between 7.35 and 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. It takes work for our bodies to stay balanced within this small window, and the more acidic our diet, the more we work against our body’s efforts. In turn, we leave ourselves feeling tired, and our immune systems vulnerable to disease.

 A healthy diet should include 60-80% alkaline foods and 20-40% acidic foods, but the degree to which a food is alkaline or acidic matters. A diet of primarily pasta, bread, soft drinks is highly acidic and will not be easily offset by the list of very low alkaline foods.

Alkaline diet helps balance blood pH level :

Blood pH is simply a measure of how acidic or alkaline the blood is. For context, stomach acid has a pH close to 0 (the most acidic), and bleach is close to 14 (the most alkaline). Pure distilled water sits squarely in the middle at a neutral 7.
Our bodies require a blood pH level that is just slightly more alkaline than pure distilled water: between 7.35 and 7.45. We help our bodies to stay within this level by eating a more alkaline diet with fewer acidic foods.

What are alkaline foods?

How alkaline or acidic the food is before you eat it does not always determine the pH effect it will have on your body after you digest it. Knowing what foods are alakaline can help you to eat healthier and feel better.
