Alkaline Diet

Ever wonder just how alkaline or acidic the foods and liquids we consume are?
The chart below summarizes the different pH levels of common foods like fruits, vegetables and drinks.
Higher pH level equates to stronger alkalinity, and lower pH items have greater acidity.

Note: The ideal healthy pH level is 7.365. Most North Americans are less than that.
