Acidic vs Alkaline Foods

Hello steemit family! Today I will be answering a question @tenosqueen has asked: "What is the difference between alkaline and acidic foods?"

Acidic Foods?

Acidic foods are those that once eaten leave an acidic residual in our bodies. They decrease the pH of our blood and bodily fluids. Most of the time they are unhealthy foods that cause deterioration of our bodies and minds. You should limit your diet to no more than 20% of acidic foods.

Highly Acidic Foods Include:
-Alcohol
-Coffee & Black Tea
-Fruit Juice (Sweetened)
-Cocoa
-Honey
-Jam
-Jelly
-Mustard
-Miso
-Rice Syrup
-Soy Sauce
-Vinegar
-Yeast
-Dried Fruit
-Beef
-Chicken
-Eggs
-Farmed Fish
-Pork
-Shellfish
-Cheese
-Dairy
-Artificial Sweeteners
-Syrup
-Mushroom

Moderitaly Acidic
-Fresh, Natural Juice
-Ketchup
-Mayonnaise
-Butter
-Apple
-Apricot
-Banana
-Blackberry
-Blueberry
-Cranberry
-Grapes
-Guava
-Mango
-Mangosteen
-Orange
-Peach
-Papaya
-Pineapple
-Strawberry
-Goat’s Cheese
-Vegan Cheese
-Rye Bread
-Wheat
-Wholemeal Bread
-Wild Rice
-Wholemeal Pasta
-Ocean Fish

Alkaline Foods?

Alkaline foods are those that when eaten leave an alkaline residual in our bodies. You might think a lemon is actually acidic and it is outside of the body, but once it reaches the stomach they produce an alkaline solution. These foods are healthier and necessary for healing and optimal wellness. You should include at least 80% of alkaline foods into your diet
