For an alkaline foods diet, experts recommend following the 80/20 rule – 80% of your food from the alkaline-forming group and 20% from the acid-forming group – and avoiding stress in order to create a lifestyle that is healthy and fulfilling. By following these recommendations you can alter your pH to achieve an optimal level.
