There is a detailed listing of acid and acidic foods.
The pH scale is from 0 to 14.
The human blood pH should be between 7.35 and 7.45Symptoms and disease can be found below or above this range.A neutral pH is 7.0.A pH of less than 7.0 is acidic.A pH greater than 7.0 is alkaline.
An acidic pH can be caused by an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions.The body will use alkaline minerals to make up for acidic pH.A build up of acids in the cells will occur if the diet does not contain enough minerals.
An acidic balance will make the body more susceptible to fatigue, cause damaged cells to be repaired, and make tumors thrive.A blood pH of 6.9 can cause coma and death.
The typical American diet, which is too high in acid producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and too low in alkaline producing foods like fresh vegetables, is the reason why acidosis is more common in our society.We drink acid producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks, as well as eating processed foods like white flour and sugar.We use too many drugs that are acid forming and we use artificial chemical sweetners which are poison.One of the best ways to correct an overly acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.
The diet should consist of acid and alkaline foods.80% of the diet should be alkaline forming and 20% acid forming.
Most fruits, green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and seasonings are alkaline forming foods.
Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, grains, and legumes are acid forming foods.
The chart is for people trying to adjust their body pH.The scale is from 0 to 14 with numbers below 7 acidic and above 7 alkaline.Sickness can be caused by an acidic body.Where your body's pH level falls will be affected by what you eat and drink.The key is balance.!
