Alkaline Foods

Are You getting enough alkaline foods? I ask myself that question.

The right alkaline balance is critical to good health. To see how acid or you are, you can do a simple test using pH test strips.

The body should maintain the proper alkaline-acid balance for it to be able to work properly and to contribute to achieving optimum health.

Even with a list of alkaline-acid foods, just remember that alkaline foods are mostly those that are produced naturally and most acidic foods are either machine -produced or those that imitate naturally-produced foods.

The kidneys, lungs and skin must work overtime to balance body pH toward the alkaline. They do so by borrowing alkaline minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) from bone and tissue.
