To insure a more alkaline diet, it is recommended that one's daily diet consist of about 75% alkaline foods and 25% acidic foods. The benefit of having alkaline-rich foods is that they supply nourishment, replace our cells, and build flesh, bone, tissue, skin and hair.

Here is a board list of alkaline and acidic foods that will benefit most people (this is not a comprehensive listing).

Alkaline Foods Sources:

Vegetables: squash, celery, broccoli, cabbage, collard green, beets, cauliflower, carrot, cucumber, brussel sprouts, all sprouts, garlic, mushrooms, spinach
