Food classification
In nutrition, food is generally divided into two categories: acidic food and alkaline food. The acidity and alkalinity of food has nothing to do with its own PH value (the food with sour taste is not necessarily acidic food), which is mainly defined by the fact that food is digested, absorbed and metabolized, and finally becomes acidic or alkaline in human body.
Those that produce acidic substances are called acidic foods, such as animal viscera, muscles and plant seeds (grains). Alkaline substances are called alkaline foods, such as vegetables, melons, beans, tea and so on.
Animal viscera, muscle, fat, protein and grains are rich in sulfur (S), phosphorus (P) and chlorine (Cl), which are metabolized in human body to produce sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid and lactic acid, which are the sources of acidic substances in human body. However, most vegetables, fruits, kelp, beans and dairy products contain many elements such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg), which can become alkaline substances after metabolism in the body.
