Alkaline Versus Acidic Foods

Most people eat too many acidic foods these days. This creates a real imbalance in our bodies. When the body becomes imbalanced and overly acidic the condition is called acidosis. According to the bible of nutritional information, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, symptoms can include insomnia, water retention, recessed eyes, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches, abnormally low blood pressure, dry hard stools and frequent sighing.

The highest acid-forming foods include alcohol, meat and pasta.

Most fresh vegetables and fruits are alkaline-forming foods.
