Acid Forming foods

Like any acid forming food, moderation is key, restriction is ideal, if you are determined to get your body into a 7.3 pH and stay there until the benefits really begin to show

Alcohol

Alcohol is highly acidic and can disrupt the body's natural pH balance. It can also cause dehydration and inflammation, both of which can contribute to various health issues. While some forms of alcohol, such as red wine, may have some health benefits in moderation, it's best to limit alcohol intake on an alkaline diet.

Caffeine

Caffeine is another substance that can be detrimental to health when consumed in excess. It can disrupt sleep, increase anxiety, and contribute to dehydration. While some alkaline diets allow for moderate caffeine intake, it's important to be mindful of how much caffeine you consume and how it affects your body.

Meat and Dairy

Meat and dairy: Animal products, particularly red meat and dairy, are highly acidic and can contribute to inflammation in the body. They are also often high in saturated fats and cholesterol, which can be harmful to heart health. While some alkaline diets allow for moderate meat and dairy intake, it's important to choose lean, high-quality sources and limit consumption.
