Frankly, it is the obsession with Alkaline water which I don’t understand.

Alkaline foods are those believed to reduce acidity in the body—like fruits, veggies, nuts, and legumes. They’re trending because people think they prevent diseases, boost energy, and improve overall health. But as a med student, I see it more as a wellness fad—our body tightly regulates pH, so diet has minimal effect on blood pH. The real benefit likely comes from eating more whole, plant-based foods, not the “alkaline” label itself.

Alkaline foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are believed to help maintain the body’s pH balance.
These foods are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and may help reduce inflammation and promote overall health.
Examples include leafy greens, citrus fruits, and nuts. Incorporating alkaline foods into your diet can support a healthy lifestyle.
I believe this is not about trend, but something everyone should follow in their life.

Alkaline ash is thought to protect you from illness, while acidic ash can make you vulnerable.
More alkaline food means improving health.
Food sources can however be divided:-
*Acidic: meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, grains, alcohol
*Neutral: natural fats, milk, starches, sugars
*Alkaline: fruits, nuts, legumes, vegetables
Alkaline foods are trending now. People say they help health, but science is still checking. Eating balanced is best.
I don’t get where the generation is going, chlorophyll water, alkaline water, pink salt, and now alkaline foods ? No offence to anyone, but all foods taken with good balance is much better.
