The acid diet vs. the alkaline diet for health. In this article, I will answer the question of acid vs. alkaline diet: which is better?
Well, okay, it’s quite obvious from where I’m writing; I mean who wants to say their body is mostly acid? But, what are the benefits of having an alkaline diet, over an acid diet?
Our body’s internal system needs a PH of just above 7.0; our immunologic, enzymatic, and repair mechanisms all function at their best in this alkaline range.
If our body becomes over acidic, that is, under a PH of 7, you may start to experience a combination of these symptoms:
Low energy, fatigue
Nasal congestion
Hives
Muscle Pain
Weak nails, dry skin, dry hair
Frequent colds, flu, and infection
Headaches
If you have these symptoms and eat foods that create acid in the body, you may need to balance it with an alkaline diet.
What foods cause acid in the body?
There is a whole list of foods that cause the body to be over-acidic: dairy and dairy substitutes, animal meat, most grains, chickpeas, condiments, aspartame, prunes, chocolate, peanuts, alcohol and quite a few other types of foods.
To balance your PH, the remedy is simple and logical; eat more alkaline causing foods.
To name but a few of these foods, there is; watermelon, lime, mango, most vegetables, vegetable juices, almonds, sprouts, avocados, and green tea.
When you’re body becomes more alkaline, the changes that will take place are truly amazing! It will seem magical, but it’s all perfectly normal. You will feel how we all have the right to feel, we just don’t know it.
Benefits include:
Rapid weight loss
Increased energy
The need for less sleep
Improved skin and hair condition
Better mental attitude
Are these benefits worth pursuing? I think so, and you are off if you don’t agree with me! Fortunately, it is not hard to slowly alkalize your body. Take it one day at a time, add more and more green food to your diet, reduce the number of cups of coffee you have every day and you’ll soon reap the benefits.

This is a great video – so interesting too! I have definitely taken note. Thank you for sharing.
Wow this is great information shared here. I will try making my diet more alkaline now and let’s see what happens.
I have been told that I need to incorporate more alkaline based food into my diet to create the right balance as at the moment it is more acidic. So thank you for the list of alkaline based items.
Thanks for reminding me of this! I always try to eat my fruits & veggies — but really need to make it more of a priority. Could use all of those alkaline benefits!
Thank you for an awesome post like this one, I have really learnt the difference between what alkaline and acid diet can do to the body in general.
Thanks, this is new to me. I’ve never considered if foods are acidic or alkaline in the gut.
This is so informative! I’ve been drinking alkaline water for a year or so now (added to my diet) and I can feel my body improving!
