Alkaline foods mainly include the following categories:
1. Vegetables: such as kelp, carrots, cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, black fungus, eggplant, tomatoes, yam, rape, celery, lotus root, cucumber, potatoes, etc. These vegetables are rich in minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium, which help maintain the body's acid-base balance.
2. Fruits: such as strawberries, kiwifruit, bananas, oranges, mangoes, Hami melons, apples, pears, grapes, watermelons, etc. These fruits are not only delicious but also rich in alkaline elements that are beneficial to human health.
3. Protein sources: such as unsweetened soy milk, milk, tofu, black soybeans, yellow soybeans, mung beans, etc. These foods provide essential proteins for the body and also have certain alkalinity.
4. Others: There are also strongly alkaline foods such as wine, tea, grapes, oranges, etc., as well as medium and weakly alkaline foods such as soybeans, plums, lemons, tofu, potatoes, etc. These alkaline foods play an important role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance and promoting health.
