About This Diet
Alkaline Diet Basics
The alkaline diet is based on the idea that certain foods influence the body's pH balance. Foods are categorised as acid-forming or alkaline-forming after digestion. While the body tightly regulates blood pH on its own, the diet naturally emphasises whole plant foods, reduces processed foods, and limits meat and dairy.
Key Principles
- Emphasise alkaline-forming foods: most fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes
- Limit acid-forming foods: meat, dairy, grains, alcohol, caffeine
- Avoid sugar, processed foods, and refined carbs
- Drink plenty of water (room temperature or warm)
