An acid diet is one where foods such as coffee, soda, vinegar and eggs are regularly consumed, which naturally increases the acidity of the blood. This type of diet favors loss of muscle mass, kidney stone, fluid retention and even decreased mental capacity.
The main problem is to consume these foods in greater quantity, because the ideal is that there is a balance between acidic and alkaline foods like cucumber, kale, parsley and coriander. The ideal is the consumption of 60% of alkaline foods and 40% of acidic foods so that body can function in perfect harmony.
Main risks of acid feed
The following are some dangers of a more acidic diet:
- Loss of potassium and organic magnesium, generating high blood pressure and inflammation
- Loss of muscle mass
- Irritation of the urinary system, leading to increased and painful urinary frequency
- There are greater risks of kidney stones
- Low release of hormones
- Increased production of toxins
- Lower efficiency in energy production
- Increased fluid retention
- Alteration of intestinal flora
- Reduction of mental capacity
The blood must have a neutral pH, this being one of the essential factors to ensure the proper functioning of blood, organs and tissues, thus ensuring the maintenance of health. A more alkaline diet reduces the body's wear on keeping the blood neutral and the body healthier.
