Acidic foods

Acidic foods contain acids that can influence the pH balance in your mouth and digestive system. Examples include citrus fruits (oranges, lemons), tomatoes, vinegar, and some berries. Consuming these foods can temporarily lower the pH in your mouth, increasing acidity, which may contribute to tooth enamel erosion over time. In the gut, they aid digestion by stimulating acid production. While healthy in moderation, frequent intake of highly acidic foods can impact dental health and cause discomfort in some individuals. Balancing acidic foods with neutral or alkaline ones helps maintain overall oral and digestive health.
