The idea is to consume a diet that promotes alkalinity in the body, which can help improve overall health and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many celebs have spoken in favor of this diet. So you may feel tempted to try it out for yourself. But before you jump on the alkaline bandwagon, let&#8217;s take a closer look at what this diet entails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Alkaline_Diet\"><\/span><b>What Is the Alkaline Diet?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theory behind the alkaline diet is that certain foods can affect the acidity or alkalinity (pH level) of our bodies. The goal is to maintain a slightly alkaline environment in the body, which proponents believe can prevent diseases and promote overall health (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/333532069_Concepts_of_acid_alkaline_diet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foods are measured on a scale from 0-14, with 0 being highly acidic and 14 being highly alkaline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the alkaline diet, you should aim to eat 75-80% alkaline-forming foods and 20-25% acid-forming foods. This means that while some acidic foods may still be consumed, they should make up a smaller portion of your overall diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the key principles of the alkaline diet include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating mostly fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming whole grains in moderation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding processed and refined foods<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminating or limiting dairy products, meat, caffeine, and alcohol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=7_Day_Alkaline_Diet_Plan\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-70757\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/534-how-to-lose-70-pounds-in-4-months-1024x640.png\" alt=\"7 Day Alkaline Diet Plan\" width=\"770\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/534-how-to-lose-70-pounds-in-4-months.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/534-how-to-lose-70-pounds-in-4-months-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/534-how-to-lose-70-pounds-in-4-months.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/534-how-to-lose-70-pounds-in-4-months-1472x920.png 1472w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/534-how-to-lose-70-pounds-in-4-months.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proponents of this diet believe that following these principles can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve energy levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boost immunity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce inflammation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protect against chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_Alkaline_Diet_Work\"><\/span><b>Does the Alkaline Diet Work?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research on the effectiveness of the alkaline diet is limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have suggested that increasing the consumption of fruits and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/vegetables-high-in-protein\/\">vegetables<\/a> can have a positive effect on overall health due to their high nutrient content (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/10408398.2019.1632258#d1e1158\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

In reality, most foods have components that can be both alkaline and acidic (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/361650173_The_issue_of_acidity_and_alkalinity_in_our_diet_-Facts_popular_beliefs_and_the_reality\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/is-grapefruit-ketogenic\/\">citrus fruits<\/a> are often labeled as highly acidic due to their high citric acid content. However, when metabolized, they have an alkalizing effect on the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, foods such as meat and dairy are considered acidic in nature due to their protein and fat content. However, they also contain minerals that can have an alkalizing effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that even if you follow the diet strictly, your body may still produce acidic waste from these alkaline-forming foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you\u2019re a workout beast or just a beginner making your first foray into the world of fitness and dieting \u2013 BetterMe has a lot to offer to both newbies and experts! <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=7_Day_Alkaline_Diet_Plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Install the app and experience the versatility first-hand!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Other Factors Influence the Body&#8217;s pH Levels<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to food, there are many other factors that can influence the body&#8217;s pH levels.

However, this is a natural process that helps build endurance and strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, stress hormones such as cortisol can also affect the body&#8217;s acidity or alkalinity.
