The thought behind this diet is to cut out foods that cause your body to produce acid ; including meat, wheat, refined sugar, processed foods, dairy, eggs, canned food, packaged snacks, caffeine and alcohol. The Alkaline diet encourage of most fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, soybeans and tofu. These are foods that are alkaline; that have a pH value of 7 or above.
This is acid-ash hypothesis. There is no evidence that dietary acid load may cause chronic diseases, osteoporosis or affect blood pH. However there is a relationship between dietary acid load and progression of CKD.
Alkaline foods, like fruits and vegetables, have antioxidants and phytochemicals, which are important counfunding factors in this discussion

All life depends on maintaining the right pH level, and it's harder for disease to establish itself when the body has a healthy, balanced pH level. Eating too much acidic food can result in health problems caused by acidosis, while a diet high in alkaline foods can lead to healthier functioning and even weight loss
Acid base balance is a whole body homeostasis and is governed by complexly interacting physiology. There are many writers and scientists on bott sides of the debate about these mechanisms and tgeir impact on health. Dr. Joe Pizzorno is one of my favourite physiologists and he is in the yes camp as dar as alkalinising diet and possitive health outcomes.
The question of health and disease and diet is however far more multifactorial and mutlifaceted than simpley acid-base balance and cellular biochemistry is concerned.

Thanks so much dear Rodrigo Cauduro Oliveira Macedo for you nice reply and valuable paper
There are several health benefits of alkaline diets which include healthy bones, higher osteoblast activity, higher bone mineralization, reduced tumor invasiveness and and enhanced toxin excretion. Please take a look at the following RG links.

I think normal daily consumption dose not require any alkaline diets because organism already adopted in daily conditions. If you start alkaline diet it means you will change normal acid base balance which will require daily intervention.
Absolutley! This is the best recipe for a healthy body and mind whatever lens you look at it through. From anti-oxidants, liver detoxification , nutrient density or in this case acid-base balance and alkalisation. If the boot fits, wear this traditional whole natural unprocessed food ideal!
Alkaline diet and acidic diet both are important in our life with a balance
Thank you Arvind Singh and Emma Sandford for your answers, It was Really helpful
Dear @ Alaa Raheem
Alkaline diet is to cut out foods that cause your body to produce acid ; including meat, wheat, refined sugar, processed foods, dairy, eggs, canned food, packaged snacks, caffeine and alcohol. The Alkaline diet encourage of most fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, soybeans and tofu. These are foods that are alkaline; that have a pH value of 7 or above.
Is it possible the concept of an alkaline diet being healthful could simply be the result of consuming more fruits, vegetables and other nutrient-dense foods? While there is little scientific evidence from a quantitative perspective (double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial or simply comparing health outcomes from two different diets), if applied and followed there is likely good evidence from a qualitative perspective it is beneficial. This research would be from clinicians, who offer guidance to clients and patients to follow an alkaline diet and they note significant improvement in health outcomes. However, are these observed benefits the result of eating more "alkaline foods" based on pH or is it simply based on the fact they are healthier options (fruits and veggies) when compared to refined, processed, and sugar-laden energy-dense and nutrient deficient foods (considered acidic). What is interesting to me is how sugar is considered acidic, but has a pH of 7.0, which would be considered neutral on a pH scale. Of course, in my opinion far too much sugar in all its forms is bad for you. At least in the Western diet, sugars and refined carbohydrates have become the norm in place of foods with fat, which has been demonized for years. As a result of reducing fat in the diet, Obesity rates and T2 diabetes have skyrocketed in nations, who have adopted a western diet. I do not know the correct answer, but these are my observations.
