Acidity in food leads to joint pain making it more challenging to exude your age esteem.

Tackling the acid-alkaline composition of food is very complex.

It is known today that we all have too much acid in the body.  This enhances conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis and even cancer to name a few.  The problem is that nearly all foods are acid: meat, fish, cheese, eggs, and starch such as rice, pasta and oats.
The alkaline or non-acid foods are vegetables, some fruits and some nuts.  Anything green is alkaline and thus very healthy for you.  In fact, all vegetables are non-acidic except for tomatoes.  Potatoes are alkaline as well as dried fruits in moderation, except for apricots.  Only two kinds of nuts are known to be alkaline – almonds and brazil nuts.

With fruit it becomes complicated as well. The sweeter the fruit, the more basic or alkaline it is.  Bananas are alkaline. Strawberries and raspberries among other berries are acid; and one interesting fact is that lemon, once it is absorbed in the body, becomes alkaline.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of some aches and pains, try increasing the amount of vegetables eaten as well as the other alkaline foods mentioned above.
