Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, which is why the importance of a body ph levels that support optimal health are important. All fruit, veggie, and green juices are extremely alkalining, but here's a comprehensive chart from alkaline-alkaline.com. Remember black seed also helps alkalize the body.
For optimum health and maximum resistance to disease, it is imperative that your diet is slightly over-alkaline. The ideal ratio, according to the world's foremost authority on the relationship between the acid-alkaline ratio in the diet in health and disease, Dr. Ragnar Berg, is about 80% alkali-producing foods and 20% acid-producing foods.
Below are tables of common foods with an approximate potential acidity or alkalinity, as present in one ounce of food.

Most Grains | 3.0 |
Most grains are acid-forming, except millet and buckwheat, which are considered to be alkaline. Sprouted seeds and grains become more alkaline in the process of sprouting.
All vegetable and fruit juices are highly alkaline. The most alkali-forming juices are: fig juice, green juices of all green vegetables and tops, carrots, beet, celery, pineapple and citrus juices. Vegetable broth is an extremely alkalizing drink.

Note: Because a fruit is "acid" is not an indication that it's reaction is the same when it enters the body, because it really may be alkaline.
Honey and raw sugar yield alkaline, but on account of high concentrate of sugar, become acid-formers. Rhubarb with raisins is very good. |
