If you are new to the alkaline diet, you probably know by now that a food chart is the one vital tool for anyone who wants to make the most of this diet. But while there are countless acid alkaline food charts on the web, it is surprisingly difficult to find a chart that you can rely upon.
Why It’s Hard to Find Good Acid Alkaline Food Charts
First, many charts do not to include popular foods. I find this inexplicable. It’s one thing to neglect an unusual food that practically no one eats, but it’s very different to leave out a food that is in common use.
Second, not all charts are based on fact. Many use obsolete sources to decide which foods are acidifying and which ones are acid-producing, even when newer and more accurate data is available. These inaccuracies can cause your alkaline diet to fail, and you might never find out why. The alkaline diet has worked for thousands of people, and it can work for you, too–but only if you base your food choices on accurate information.
Finally, most charts are not at all convenient to use on a daily basis. Most people want a one-page list that they can hang on the refrigerator or take with them when they go grocery shopping. For these purposes, a poorly-formatted 30-page list chart is practically useless.
Introducing the Ultimate Acid Alkaline Food Chart
After looking high and low for an acid alkaline food chart that doesn’t suffer from these drawbacks, I finally decided to create one myself. I started with the best research available, and assembled it into a handy one-page chart that lists the 127 most popular foods. I also tried to make it as usable as possible by incorporating a color-coded star rating system that shows you instantly exactly how each food will affect your body’s internal pH. Because I believe this knowledge is so important, I have decided to make this chart available as a free download from The Alkaline Diet Blog.
