When it comes to healthy eating, I believe that most people are most concerned about the nutritional value of food, and it is indeed very important to take in various nutrients needed by the human body through diet, but this is only one aspect of the nutritional value of food.
So, which foods are acidic and what are alkaline foods?
Take the commonly eaten pork, beef and mutton as an example, these meat foods are acidic foods; The commonly used condiment vinegar is a representative of alkaline food, so eating meat with vinegar is more helpful to balance the acidity and alkalinity of the two and maintain the acid-base balance of the body.
How can vinegar be alkaline, you might say? So, are fruits such as sour oranges also alkaline?
This is indeed the case.
To put it simply, foods containing more minerals such as sulfur, phosphorus, and chloride are acidic foods, such as meat, eggs, fish and other animal foods, as well as plant foods such as beans and cereals; Foods containing more minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium are alkaline foods, such as vegetables, fruits, milk, mushroom foods, salt, vinegar, and so on.
It can be seen that in most people's dietary habits, acidic foods such as staple foods and meat tend to be more consumed, while alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables, fungi and other alkaline foods are relatively insufficient, which will lead to acid-base imbalance in the body, which is also one of the main reasons why the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" emphasizes that you should eat 500 grams of fresh vegetables and 250 grams of fresh fruits every day. Especially when eating too much salt has been shown to be closely related to the occurrence of a variety of diseases, advocating vinegar instead of salt for seasoning is more helpful to maintain the acid-base balance between foods.
