Food Groups

Once the food we eat is broken down and metabolized, acidic or alkaline elements will predominate.
Foods high in carbonic acid and sulphuric acids, iodine and chlorine are considered acid forming. While
foods that have calcium iron, potassium, sodium and magnesium are alkali forming. Neutral foods are
those foods which least affect the pH of blood and this group suits both chemical body types. Therefore
food groups are:
ALKALINE FOOD GROUP
NEUTRAL FOOD GROUP
ACIDIC FOOD GROUP
This food classification is based on the foods chemical and physiological effects on the body.
Chemical effects are detectable by routine Laboratory tests on urine, blood and on other body
secretions but Physiological food effects are detectable at the level of skin, muscles, body hair, joints,
physical stamina, emotions and spirituality as well.
ALKALINE FOOD GROUP
VEGETABLES: Carrots, turnips, zucchini, okra, capsicum, cabbage, radish, pumpkin,
cucumber, broccoli, lettuce, celery
FRUITS: Banana, guava, water melon, melon, pear, custard apple, leechi, garma
DAIRY : Milk, butter, cream, butter oil, cottage cheese
NUTS: Almonds, cashews, Seeds
Excess of alkaline foods make us sleepy, lethargic and mental fogginess develops. Alkaline foods cause
water retention and slowing of metabolic rate which leads to bloating of body, weight gain, obesity and
low immunity.
NEUTRAL FOOD GROUP
VEGETABLES: Ginger, garlic, mustard leaves, olives
FRUITS: Mango, grapes, apricots, papaya, dates, figs, raisins
ACIDIC FOOD GROUP
VEGETABLES: Potato, cauliflower, brinjal, sweet potato, spinach, tomato, peas, onion, lemon,
bitter gourd, mushroom
FRUITS: Orange, apple, plums, peach, coconut, straw berry, cherry, grapefruit, jamun,
falsa, parmasen or Japanese fruit, pomegranate
NUTS: Peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, pistachio
Excess of acidic foods badly affect the body chemistry. Excessive acidity can breed yeast and virus
growth, stimulates tumor growth, disturbs the mineral balance i.e. low calcium and causes general
fatigue and pains.
