Eat alkaline food to neutralize acidic constitution? At present, there is no empirical support.
With the prevalence of health preservation, some people began to suggest that staying up late often, eating more meat and eating less fruits and vegetables will acidify the physique and easily lead to various diseases, and encourage people to eat more fruits and vegetables or eat alkaline food to help eliminate free radicals in the body, adjust the physique and change from acid to alkali. However, Hong Ruopu, a nutritionist in Xiaozhongyuan District of Taipei United Hospital, said that there is no exact empirical support for the statement of "acid-base constitution"!
Nutritionist Hong Ruopu said that normal people's diet, whether eating alkaline food or acidic food, will not change the acidity and alkalinity of blood and physique. Even alkaline ionized water or negative ion water (H3O2), which is more expensive than ordinary drinking water, will not help to improve physical fitness, because the water you drink will eventually be neutralized by the existing mechanisms of the body, such as blood, digestive system and kidneys, and maintain a suitable pH value.
Whether it is alkaline ionized water, negative ion water or other functional water, it will not help to improve the physical pH value. Drink water to care for your health! Drink more water, the better?
It is worth noting that water is one of the essential elements to maintain life and needs to be replenished every day. Many people think that "drinking more water" and "drinking good water" can make them healthier. Is it true?/You don't say. Nutritionist Hong Ruopu said that drinking water can promote the metabolism and circulation of the whole body and avoid blood and body fluids from being too thick; Eliminate toxins such as urea nitrogen in the blood and promote "detoxification"; Prevent urinary tract infection and urinary calculi. Compared with drinking less water, drinking more water is relatively more beneficial to health.
