Alkaline food have been promoted by Doctors who propose that such food prevent lots of diseases.
Alkaline diet(also known as the alkaline ash diet, alkaline acid diet,acid ash diet, and acid alkaline diet) describes a group of loosely related diets based on the misconception that different types of food can have an effect on the pH balance of the body. Human blood is maintained between pH 7.35 and 7.45 by acid–base homeostasis mechanisms. Levels above 7.45 are referred to as alkalosis and levels below 7.35 as acidosis. Both are potentially serious. The idea that these diets can materially affect blood pH for the purpose of treating a range of diseases is not supported by scientific research and makes incorrect assumptions about how alkaline diets function that are contrary to human physiology

Body balance, in terms of acid-alkaline state, is a pH of 7.450 for blood in the arteries and 7.350 for blood in the veins. Acid-alkaline equivalence is a pH of 7.000. Thus, a healthy body means a pH that is slightly alkaline. This means there are more buffering mineral receptors for electrons than acid-forming electron donors.

The Alkaline Diet: Is There Evidence That an Alkaline pH Diet Benefits Health?
Alkaline diet will help balance the level of pH of fluids in the body, including blood and urine, and many alkaline foods are in nature and can properly help to balance pH levels to reduce daily diseases and the possibility of avoiding some long-term health risks .

This is based on a pseudocientifica diet, which is said to eat alkaline foods, modifies the ph and acidity of body fluids, and has positive influence on the organism and development of certain pathologies, however, I still do not know evidence Scientific about that, they're just hypotheses
Alkaline food release toxins from the body and gives it activity and energy , it keep the blood at the right Ph
Alkaline foods are important so as to bring about a balance (Acid and base) e.g. fruits, nuts, legumes and vegetables etc. are good for health.
Alkaline diet is a very important aid to balancing the pH of liquids in the body, so many alkaline foods can help in the process of pH balance to avoid many diseases and many health risks to the human body and for a long period of time.
Alkalis that neutralise acids . Our stomach has a pH range from 2.0-3.5, which is necessary for digestion But sometimes excess of acidic foods (burger, samosa, pizza, sausages, doughnuts, pastries etc. leads to acid refluxes .
To balance that alkaline food is required.
Following an alkaline diet will help balance the pH level of fluids in the body, including blood and urine, and many alkaline foods are in nature that can properly help to balance pH levels in the body to reduce daily illnesses and the possibility of avoiding certain risks health.
I think that alkaline food gives the body enough activity and energy, also it keeps the blood and urine at balance pH.
With best wishes.
Thanks Dr Yehya A. Salih for your input.
Alkaline fruits are really very important for PH balance.

Dear Dr. Vinod Sir,
Alkaline food improves the quality of life by reducing risks of chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke. It also improves memory and cognition.
Please have a look at this useful RG link.

Good luck!
Yes dear Dr. Vinod Kumar Singh,, alkaline fruits and vegetables are really very important for pH balance espacially carrot, watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes and spinach.
Please accept my appreciation.
The alkaline diet is based on the idea that replacing acid-forming foods with alkaline foods can improve health. Proponents of this diet even claim that it can help fight serious diseases like cancer.
Please also take a look at this useful RG discussion thread.

According to the traditional acid ash hypothesis underlying this diet, acid ash is produced by meat, poultry, cheese, fish, eggs, and grains. Alkaline ash is produced by fruits and vegetables, except cranberries, prunes and plums. Since the acid or alkaline ash designation is based on the residue left on combustion rather than the acidity of the food, foods such as citrus fruits that are generally considered acidic are actually considered alkaline producing in this diet.
Most vegetables and fruits contain higher proportions of alkaline-forming elements than other foods. These foods promote a more alkaline environment in the body.
