Tofu, milk, celery, potatoes, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, carrots, kelp, mung beans, bananas, watermelons, strawberries and most fruits and vegetables are alkaline.

The "acidity and alkalinity" of food will affect the bodybuilding of posture and skin.

The identified weakly alkaline foods are: bean curd, pea, soybean, mung bean, rape, celery, sweet potato, lotus root, onion, eggplant, pumpkin, cucumber, mushroom, radish, milk and so on. Alkaline foods include spinach, cabbage, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, bamboo shoots, potatoes, kelp, oranges, watermelons, grapes, bananas, strawberries, millet, persimmons, coffee and wine. There are also some foods that are mistaken for acidic foods because they taste sour, such as wild vegetables, tomatoes, vinegar and so on. In fact, these things are typical alkaline foods.

Eat more alkaline food. It is found that eating more alkaline food can keep the blood weakly alkaline, reduce the acidic substances such as lactic acid and urea in the blood, and prevent them from depositing on the tube wall, thus softening blood vessels. Therefore, some people call alkaline food "a cleaner for blood and blood vessels". The pH mentioned here is not the nature of the food itself, but the nature of the elements left in the body after digestion and absorption. Common acidic elements are nitrogen, carbon and sulfur. Common alkaline elements are potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and so on. Some foods taste sour, such as tomatoes and oranges, but they are all strongly alkaline foods, because the last element after their metabolism in the body is potassium.

2. Acidic food

Common foods include meat, fish, poultry, eggs, peanuts, hazelnuts, walnuts and hard fruits in protein. Specifically: pork, beef, chicken, egg yolk, carp, eel, dried squid, shrimp, rice, flour, bread, barley, beer, asparagus and so on. Although you lack acidic food in your body, you can't just supplement it, because medicine has proved that when we eat a lot of acidic foods such as chlorine, sulfur and phosphorus, it is extremely difficult for our blood to maintain a weak alkaline state and it is prone to acidosis.

The so-called "warm" food refers to foods that can warm the body, such as onions, leeks and Chinese cabbage. The so-called "hot" food means that it is easier to warm the body than warm food, generally referring to some spicy spices and the like. Chinese medicine believes that warm food is good for the skin, and in autumn, we should pay more attention to protecting the yang. Therefore, the autumn diet can be warmed up, and eating more beef and mutton, lotus seed porridge, medlar and other foods can warm up the qi and blood, moisten the viscera and care for the skin.

Warm foods that dispel cold and help yang are often high in calories, and it is easy to accumulate heat in the body after eating. Regular eating will lead to lung fire, which is manifested as dry mouth. How can I suppress dryness? Chinese medicine believes that it is best to choose some foods that are "sweet and cold in nature", that is, foods that are cooler in nature.

And "cold" food refers to the food that can make the body cold, including eggplant, tomato, cucumber and other foods. If the nature of food is between "warm" and "cold", it is called "flat" food. For example, white radish and eggs are all "sexual" foods.
