Alkaline diet
The alkaline diet focuses on eating foods believed to influence the body's pH balance, promoting a more alkaline (less acidic) internal environment. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, while limiting processed foods, meats, and dairy. The idea is that consuming these foods can reduce acidity in the body, which some argue may improve health, energy, and reduce disease risk. However, the body naturally regulates pH levels tightly, and scientific evidence supporting significant health benefits from this diet is limited. Overall, it's a plant-heavy diet emphasizing nutritious, minimally processed foods.
