3. Alkaline Elements

Although some parts of the body are more one than the other as they are meant to be (e.g. the stomach is more acidic), the body needs a balance of both acid and alkaline foods to be perfectly healthy. Since most modern diets tend to be high in acidic elements, we should be making a conscious effort to eat more alkalizing foods.

Ideally, you’d want 86% of your daily diet to include alkalizing foods. Root vegetables, including carrots, are a great way to do that. These can help balance the body’s pH levels while your body does the rest naturally by excreting excess acid through urine.
