Greetings dear readers and friends of @Project.HOPE, continuing our thematic line, about the value of certain parameters or variables of research, in this in this thematic segment I will approach contents related to the importance of the pH in the feeding.
It is of vital importance, to know the acid or alkaline content of the foods, because the balanced consumption of these, favors the omeostatic balance of the organism, whereas, an unbalanced ingestion reduces the immunity, increases the appearance of diseases, creates disorders of physical and mental development.

The foods in fresh state or processed, contribute the nutrients, minerals and the necessary energy, to fulfill the biological processes that maintain the physiological balance of our organism, however, the value of pH in foods is an element to consider for a suitable nutrition, mainly because, it escapes like indicator of the acid content of a certain food or drink, information referential widely used by nutritionists in the design of balanced and healthy diets.
Reference ranges of pH in foods
In the following table, you can detail reference ranges of the pH of some foods:
| Dairy | |
| Fish | |
| Red meat | |
| Mature fruits | |
| Dry fruits | |
| Tubers | |
| Vegetables |
The disorders of physical and mental development that are generated as a result of pH imbalances, is why it is recommended to plan food intake, developing menus whose meals contain amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, minerals in a proportion of pH balanced to neutral, essentially because the uncontrolled consumption of acidic foods, generate imbalances of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, alteration of the secretion of acid in glands, among other physiological abnormalities that affect health.

Hello friend, an excellent publication, our nutrition is extremely important, we must take care of everything that enters our body. Greetings!
That's right, the feeding is of vital importance, because our health depends on it, and to maintain us healthy, the recommendable thing is to have a food diet with balanced pH. Thank you for your visit.

Very correct, I feel the concept of balance diet is best defined by knowing the value of PH in the food we are eating and I think more knowledge and awareness of the PH content in difference kind of food can help the masses to know the kind of food intake they will put into their body system.
Absolutely sane with you, knowing the pH range of the food we usually consume, gives us an idea, how to balance the daily intake in a balanced way. Thank you for leaving your comment.
Hello @lupafilotaxia
There are studies that show that an acidic internal organic environment favors the appearance of cancer, and that a slightly alkaline one decreases the possibility of the appearance of certain diseases.
Greetings @josevas217
My mother, is an oncology patient and her treating physician recommended lifetime therapy based on sodium bicarbonate, precisely to alkalize her metabolism and prevent the cancer from being aggressive. Thank you for your contribution.
