Eating more alkaline foods is good for weight loss

Under normal conditions, human blood and body fluids are slightly alkaline, and the pH remains at 7. 35-7。Between 45 and 45, human health is at its best at this time. The human body itself has a system that regulates acid-base balance, which can ensure the body's acid-base balance under reasonable dietary conditions. Eat more alkaline foods in your daily diet. The following describes common acidic and alkaline concentrated foods. Acidic foods:

The acidity and alkali of food is determined by the products of food after digestion, absorption and metabolism by the human body. Generally speaking, foods containing more non-metallic elements such as fluorine, chlorine, sulfur, and phosphorus are called "acidic foods". For example: meat and poultry, eggs, fish, grains, oils, peanuts, sugar, beer, etc. These foods have high sulfur and phosphorus content, which are metabolized in the human body to form sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, which increases the acidity of body fluids.

Alkaline foods:

Foods containing more metal elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium are called "alkaline foods." For example: vegetables (Winter melon, tomato, pumpkin, cucumber, radish, spinach, cabbage, rapeseed, celery, lotus root, onion, eggplant, potato), fruits (Apples, pears, bananas, peaches, strawberries, plums, plums, persimmons, grapes, citrus, grapefruit, lemon), beans and soy products (tofu, peas, soybeans, mung beans), mushrooms, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, tea, coffee, wines, etc., especially seaweed such as kelp, seaweed, etc., contain much higher minerals than vegetables and fruits. Sweet potatoes are highly alkaline foods. The organic acids in these foods participate in metabolism in the body. After oxidation in the human body, they produce oxygen, carbon dioxide and water and are excreted into the body. The remaining metal ions can increase the alkalinity of body fluids.

Neutral food:

The metallic elements and non-metallic elements contained in food are basically balanced, and the acid-base nature of the metabolic products after entering the human body is basically balanced, which is called "neutral food." For example: milk, asparagus, etc. (Internship Editor: Yi Meihua)
