The Standard American Diet (SAD) is extremely off-balanced and contains significantly more acidic foods than alkaline foods. This puts constant stress on the body and the immune system to bring the blood pH back into balance. Eating an alkaline diet helps the blood pH level to stay in balance without as much effort. This does not mean we should eliminate acidic foods from our diet altogether; it simply means we need to shift the balance from the typically acidic diet to a more alkaline diet. A good rule of thumb is that 60-80% of our diet should be from more alkaline foods, and 20-40% more acidic foods.
