Potential Hydrogen (pH) is a measure of the dichotomy Acidity - Alkalinity.
External skin likes to be slightly Acidic (low pH).
When it comes to diet, our health is improved by Alakalinity (high pH).
In choosing foods, it is not so much, what is the pH of the food itself,
but what is the overall effect upon us systemically, as a consequence of
actually digesting the food. For good health, it is recommended to eat
more Alkalinizing foods, less Acidifying foods.
Not everyone agrees on these matters, case in point, "Asparagus".
Well, were they referring to raw or steamed or boiled or grilled or ?
