So how do we FIX this? Good question. Well, the answer is rather simple – FIX your own lifestyle and practice better food choice!
The rule of thumb is to consume a diet that contains 60% alkaline food and 40% acidic food on a daily basis. Let’s say your body is currently at an alarming acidic state – It’s wise to actually consume more than 60% alkaline food to neutralize your internal pH.
Examples of alkaline food are most fruits and green vegetable; whereas acid-forming food comprises of meat, fish, soymilk, most grains, coffee, nuts, pasta and energy drink.
