A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A pH below 7.0 is acidic. A pH above 7.0 is alkaline.
To maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming foods and 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.
oranges and pineapple are alkalizing fruits.
orange- Moderate Alkaline - pH 7.5 to 8.0
pineapple - Extremely Alkaline Forming Foods - pH 8.5 to 9.0
