The alkaline diet has been around for some time now, fueling Kate Hudson and other celebrities’ daily intake for over a year now. The idea is that our bodies need to be in a relatively alkaline state to keep us healthy. The pH scale is between 1 to 14 units with anything above 7 being alkaline and anything below it being acidic. So for instance water is pH neutral so it lies at 7, kale, cabbage, legumes, broccoli and many other vegetables and fruit are above 7, and meat, processed sugars and alcohol are all below 7 (see chart below).

Shape US spoke to a nutrition sciences instructor who explained that the diet doesn’t actually affect our bodies’ pH level, as food is acidic in the stomach and alkaline in the intestine. There are however claims that an alkaline rich diet can prevent certain illnesses like osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes. Whether it’s true or not, there is no doubt that alkaline-rich foods are good for our health as it includes most green vegetables, wholefoods and some superfoods, while eliminating most of the bad stuff that zap our energy and causes weight gain.
