Alkaline Foods are becoming all the hype, but do they actually do anything?

YES

The difference between alkaline and acidic is the amount of oxygen! Oxidative stress is the cause of most things bad, and what is it? Lack of oxygen.

As alkaline food produces bicarbonate ions, this contains 3 parts oxygen, 1 part hydrogen amd 1 part carbon.

Acidic food produces hydroxide ions, 1 part hydrogen amd 1 part oxygen.

So, Alkaline foods produce 3 times the amount of oxygen as acidic food, so they help massivley reverse oxidative stress and hempa the muscles hold much more oxygen!
