How does one distinguish between acidic food and alkaline food?
Generally, alkaline and acid are represented by calcium and phosphate. Foods that contain more calcium than phosphate are alkaline. Alkaline foods include: millet; sea vegetables; green vegetables, such as spinach and kale,; edible wild herbs; mushrooms; lentil beans; raisins; and the peel of fruits. Foods that contain more phosphate than calcium are acidic. Acidic foods include: chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, beans, canned food, rice, MSG, sugar, cookies, bread, coffee, soft drinks, refined food, processed food, and pulp of fruit (such as the inside sections of oranges and grapefruits). Acid and alkali should always be balanced out. For example, if a meal contains chicken, balance it by eating broccoli or another green vegetable.
