The stability of the pH of our body fluids constitutes the acid-base balance of the body, the maintenance of which is essential for its smooth functioning.

Normally, the pH of the blood ranges between 7.35 – 7.45, that is, slightly alkaline. When the pH balance is below 7.35 or becomes even worse acidic below 7.00, the body tries to restore it to normal levels by using mineral reserves from essential vital organs such as the bones, kidneys and lungs to neutralize the pH and eliminate acids from the body.

The body’s stores of calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium often reach low levels and in the long term can create serious problems such as osteoporosis.

An unbalanced long-term diet can lead to acidosis, a condition that leads to chronic diseases such as Sjögren’s syndrome, diabetes, insulin resistance.

Most foods are acidic and are handled as such by the body.

It is impossible to have an alkaline nutrition, but we can have a less acidic nutrition in order to have the desired ph in our body by helping the body not to constantly use the alkaline stores that we wrote above or at least to use a small part of them.

All animal proteins are acidic, meat, seafood, cheese, eggs, milk and its products, as well as all foods with processed sugar such as sweets, chocolate, cookies, alcohol, coffee, tea, soft drinks.

Foods that are or are used as alkaline foods (lemon is an acidic food with a very low pH but in the body it becomes alkaline) by the body are the following:
