Acid Alkaline Food Chart
Food consumption in the most advanced countries of the world has changed from nutritious raw foods to highly processed foods very low in nutritional value. New chemicals have been introduced to our foods, air, and water, which have put even greater stresses on our system's ability to control the chemistry of our body fluids, and therefore functionality of our inner biological terrain is at risk. As a result, we see huge increases in the incidence of life-threatening or chronic diseases. That’s why it is of utmost importance to our healthiness to finding the ideal balance of alkaline and acid forming foods.
Have a look at the table below to identify various foods' pH-level. Each one is assigned a number which mirrors its approximate relative potential of alkalinity (+) or acidity (-) existent in one ounce (28.35g) of food. The higher the number, the better it is for you to eat.
Healthy Alkaline Foods Vegetables Root Vegetables Fruits Non-Stored Organic Grains And Legumes Nuts Seeds Fats (Fresh, Cold-Pressed Oils) |
Foods you should only Fruits Non-Stored Grains Nuts Fish Fats |
Unhealthy Acidic Foods Meat, Poultry, And Fish Milk And Milk Products Bread, Biscuits (Stored Grains/Risen Dough) Nuts Fats Sweets Condiments Beverages Miscellaneous |

The more alkaline-forming foods you add to your nutrition, the stronger will be the results. Should you not be able to completely avoid acidic foods, you should at least try to consume as less as possible of them, and instead put more green food and veggies on your plate. Remember that every little step to a more alkaline diet is an improvement to a healthier way of life.
Moreover, you can add green plants nutritional supplements to your diet, which can support you in attaining pH balance in a natural way. Such supplements were developed by Dr. Young, a microbiologist and nutritionist. Over many years he has researched the interrelations between acid wastes inside the body and the development of unhealthy conditions and disease.
His assignment is not only to promote a stronger awareness among people for a proper acid alkaline balance within the body, he has also developed the InnerLight products to support the body to naturally decrease its acid levels by alkalizing the cell system. Two of his cornerstone products are called SuperGreens and Prime pH.

Definition(s):
Alkalosis refers to a condition reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia). Generally alkalosis is said to occur when arterial pH exceeds 7.45. The opposite condition is acidosis. (Source: Wikipedia)
Acidosis is an increased acidity (i.e. an increased hydrogen ion concentration). If not further qualified, it refers to acidity of the blood plasma. Generally, acidosis is said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35, while its counterpart (alkalosis) occurs at a pH over 7.45. Arterial blood gas analysis and other tests are required to separate the main causes. (Source: Wikipedia)
