What are the alkaline foods?
Alkaline foods are:

Beets, kale, leeks, mustard greens, radishes, spinach, dates, figs, bananas, dried apricots, apples, prunes, raisins, mint, basil, coriander, curry powder, parsley, etc.

Alkaline food helps to alkalize urine and excrete acid from kidney, such as increasing uric acid excretion, which may be beneficial to gout.

The general law of food acidity and alkalinity: "acidic food" includes fish and eggs, white rice and flour, whole grains (but its acidity is weaker than that of flour and rice) and cola (containing phosphoric acid); "Alkaline food" includes vegetables, most fruits, algae, potatoes and so on. Milk and tofu can also be regarded as weak "alkaline foods".

Extended data

The general law of food acidity and alkalinity is given:

"Acidic food" includes fish and eggs, white rice and flour, whole grain beans (but its acidity is weaker than that of flour and rice) and cola (containing phosphoric acid);

"Alkaline food" includes vegetables, most fruits, algae, potatoes and so on. Milk and tofu can also be regarded as weak "alkaline foods".

The acidity and alkalinity of food does not depend on the taste, but on the properties of the elements left after digestion and decomposition in the human body. Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Belonging to metal elements, it is oxidized in human body to generate basic oxides, such as Na2O, K2O, CaO, MgO, etc. Foods containing more of these metal cations are physiologically called alkaline foods.

If all kinds of foods in the diet are not properly matched, it is easy to cause the imbalance of acid-base balance in the human body. Therefore, we should pay attention to the proper collocation of acidic food and alkaline food in diet, especially to control the proportion of acidic food and advocate eating more alkaline food such as vegetables, fruits, beans and dairy products, which is not only conducive to maintaining the acid-base balance of human body, but also conducive to making full use of various nutrients in food and improving its nutritional value.

People's Health Network-Food is really divided into acid and alkali: fish and eggs are acidic, and fruits and vegetables are alkaline.
