Food pH List - Balancing Acid/Alkaline Foods

"It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally acts to balance your body pH. To maintain health, the diet should consist of at least 60% alkaline forming foods and at most 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods."

OK, so this one's not exactly a recipe - just a useful guide for anyone interested in food and its potential benefits. The point here is that our diet contains a lot of acid and we can help balance out our bodies by making sure we take in at least some foods with alkalising properties.

But beware - things aren't always what you expect. Although the average lemon is high in acid, when we digest it the residue is alkaline. Trippy, but true.
