Acid Alkaline Diet
by Bioconcepts
The acid-alkaline diet, also known as the alkaline diet, is based on the idea that the food you eat can alter your body’s pH level. Your pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline, ideally on a scale of 0 to 14 should be around 7.
Acids as found in a processed diet or high sugar diet corrodes the body potentially leading to food intolerances, inflammation and allergies.
The higher the acidity, the more inflamed the body can be. Eating alkalising foods, you can reduce acidity, inflammation and pain.The diet involves reducing acidic foods like meat, poultry, dairy, and processed foods, and increasing alkaline foods like fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
While the diet’s impact on blood pH is minimal (as the body tightly regulates this), it does encourage a healthy eating pattern.
