Alkaline Foods List and
List of Acidic Foods
This Alkaline Foods List shows you which foods are more helpful when trying to avoid food acidity or a high ph acidity level. You'll want to be aware of how many foods you eat from the list of acidic foods when trying to keep a certain pH balance. Food acidity is probably one of the main causes of acidosis in this country because we eat too many processed foods which are the most acidic foods by the way. Learn to keep your ph acidity down or more accurately up to a better level by testing your body's ph and by monitoring what you are consuming.

The pH Acidity of Our Internal Fluids
Affects Every Living Cell in Our Bodies
Most people will gravitate towards an acidic pH level because of bad life habits and not eating enough foods from the alkaline foods list or just eating too many acidic foods.With an over acidic pH you are creating an extremely negative environment, which affects all of your cellular functions. When your body is faced with this condition it forces the body to borrow minerals such as...sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acidic conditions. This condition may go undetected for years and cause quite some damage!
How to Test Your Body's pH Level
- It is recommended that you test your pH levels to determine if your body needs attention
- The best time to test your pH is about one hour before a meal and two hours after a meal
- Test you pH at least two days a week...once in the morning & once during the evening
- A neutral pH is 7.0
- So a pH above 7.0 is considered alkaline and a pH below 7.0 is considered acidic
- The pH of the blood is approximately 7.4, which means it is slightly alkaline
- If your urinary pH fluctuates between 6.5 in the morning to 7.0 in the evening, your body is functioning within a "Healthy Range"
- If your saliva stays between 6.8 and 7.4 all day, your body is functioning within a "Healthy Range"
- By using pH test strips, you can determine your pH level quickly and easily

Food Acidity and the Effects on Our Bodies
As a result of eating and metabolizing food our bodies create organic acid wastes such as ....acetic acid and lactic acid.When the blood contains too much acetic or lactic acids the blood pH lowers and the buffering system using alkaline minerals commences and ...may even steal calcium from the bones. Another way the body may neutralize some of the problematic acids is to solidify them.......in the form of cholesterol. Adding more foods from the Alkaline Foods List and being careful of how many foods you eat from the List of Acidic Foods could help you to keep a healthier pH balance.
