A specific food can be classified as alkaline diet foods when the pH level of the solution created with its ash in water is greater than 7. Every food we eat and digest release an alkaline base or an acid base into the blood and tissues of our body depending on what kind of mineral compounds it contains during and after the digestion process.
Acidosis is the condition in which there is excessive levels of acid in the body fluids develop when base or bicarbonate materials are lost. Alkalosis on the other hand is the opposite of acidosis; it is a condition in which the body fluids have excess base or alkali The proper ratio of daily food intake as recommended in the alkaline diet lifestyle is an optimal eighty percent alkali foods and twenty percent acidic foods. When we speak about this type of diet, we are ultimately discussing the effects of foods and their classification, whether it is acid-forming or highly alkali. A perfect example is lemon, by just looking at lemons and its natural properties; we can conclude that lemon is acid-forming. This property changes once a person have already absorb the nutrients present in them. You will be surprised to know that these citrus are the most highly alkalizing food, it produces alkaline ash or residue (this is the term used to provide an explanation on the effect of foods in the human body) after the digestion process is complete. The key is to understand food properties before, during and after digestion.
By taking control of what you and your family eat on a daily basis like an alkaline diet, you can ensure all of your good health and well being which would mean less visits to the doctor’s office, less time at the pharmacy aisle and more time for having fun, living well and being happy.
