Acid-Alkaline-Table 2.2.1

With over 1,200 foods available, this app categorizes items as alkaline, neutral, highly acidic, or moderately acidic. Users can explore categories, search for specific foods, or navigate an alphabetical list for easy access.

The app visually represents the impact of foods on the body using hearts: empty for highly acidic, one heart for neutral, two hearts for moderately acidic, and three hearts for alkaline. The more hearts a food has, the more suitable it is for an alkaline diet.

Food assessments are based on holistic rules that prioritize mineral-rich and natural foods as alkaline and acidic foods with higher protein content. Additionally, complex-to-metabolize ingredients like gluten or industrial sugar contribute to acidity levels. Writers extensively researched individual foods and cross-referenced various reputable sources.

Alkaline diets are advocated due to the mineral content in alkaline foods, which are metabolized in an alkaline manner, contrasted to highly acidic foods that deplete minerals and impact the body's pH level. Acidic metabolism can lead to health issues like gout as the body resorts to drawing from internal reserves like bones for maintaining pH balance.

Those with conditions like gout should be cautious with moderately acidic foods such as lentils and beans included in the app's diet plan.
