To maintain our general health we need to have an alkaline diet which should consist of at least 80% of alkaline-producing foods and of not more than 20% of acid-forming foods

The foods we eat are divided into two groups: acid-forming foods (animal products, cereals, sugars) and alkaline-producing foods (vegetables, fruits). For more details on individual food acid-alkaline properties please see our Acid-Alkaline Foods Chart. To maintain our general health we need to have an alkaline diet which should consist of at least 80% of alkaline-producing foods and of not more than 20% of acid-forming foods. This goal is of course hard and almost impossible to reach with today lifestyle. But to get our nutrition balanced anyway we need to add to our modern acidic diet on a daily base a number of nutritional supplements. Altichealthprevention.com offer nutritional supplements not only for osteoporosis, but also for acid reflux, arthritis, Candida yeast infections, obesity overweight, premature aging, and more.

Improving your acid-alkaline balance may decrease your risk of headaches, bone loss and other health problems. These issues occur when your body is too acidic. Some harmful bacteria, fungi and yeasts thrive on the acid in your body. Consuming more alkaline foods wil help balance your body's pH. Talk with your physician if you are concerned about the pH balance in your body and discuss any changes you make in your diet.

Definition

The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14. Acidic foods, such as lemon juice, have a lower number. Alkalinic foods, like bananas, have a number closer to 14. Neutral foods are around 7 on the pH scale. Your diet should consist of up to 80 percent alkalizing foods, suggests naturopath Dr. Christopher Vasey. Eating more alkaline foods may help reduce the production of acid in your body. Heavy alkaline foods have a pH of 8.5 to 9.0, moderate alkaline is 7.5 to 8.4 and light alkaline foods have a pH around 7 to 7.4.

Fruits

Fruits that are heavily alkaline include watermelon, cantaloupe, mangoes, pears, grapes and passion fruit. Dried fruits like dates, apricots, figs and raisins are also considered heavy alkaline foods. Apples, fresh apricots, bananas, berries and avocados all have a moderate alkaline level around 8.0. Light alkaline fruits include cherries and peaches. Eat a total of 1 1/2 to 2 cups of fruit throughout your day, suggests MyPyramid.gov. Select fruits that have a higher alkaline content to help balance your body's pH.

Vegetables

You should consume 2 to 3 cups of vegetables each day. Eat more alkalinic veggies if you are trying to balance your body's pH. Vegetables that are high in alkaline include endives, asparagus and alfalfa sprouts. Moderately alkalinic veggies include celery, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, corn, carrots and turnips. Cucumbers, leeks, mushrooms, okra, onions and artichokes are considered light alkaline foods.

Considerations

Additional high alkaline foods that may help your pH balance include parsley, 100 percent vegetable juice, garlic and ginger. If you are trying to balance your body's pH, you need to make changes to your diet as a whole. Consuming a few alkalinic fruits and vegetables once in awhile may not create the changes you desire. Include them as part of an overall balanced diet. Following an alkaline diet includes eating foods in their whole and natural state. Enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables that are higher in alkaline may put you on a path to better health.
