So ive been doing some searching on here and i have found a couple good arcticles about alkalizing the body and the cause and effect of different ph levels within the body.but i have yet to find an actual list of foods grouped corresponding to their ph levels and/or alkalizing/acidic effects on the body.so after some web searching i found and chose the list that i thought was the most thorough and helpful.my main objective for this thread is to provide the list of foods...not really to explain everything about how ph levels work.i will give my reference below and by clicking on the link you can learn more about that aspect.or you can search for more about here on eroids as i said there are a couple good arcticles about it.so i hope this may help those of you who may want to work on changing or alkalizing the body but are not sure of the best foods to choose.

You will notice little numbers next to some foods.below is a reference guide for those numbers.
