Stabilize pH

Foods common in poor diets (pizza, white bread, potato chips, sweets) promote an acidic body environment. To achieve and maintain a healthy, neutral blood pH, your body will scavenge important minerals like calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and silica from more alkaline tissues, such as bone, weakening bones in the process. Limit acidic foods like sugar, grains, dairy, caffeine, and alcohol, and increase pH-balancing vegetables like zucchini and cucumber.
