Millet balances your pH. I saw this one at a health food store, and it made me laugh. While it would be great if any food had the extraordinary ability to either alkalize your body when you re acidic or acidify it if, on some rare occasion, you became too alkaline, I m sorry to tell you there s no such food. Millet, a tiny spherical grain, is shghtly acidifying once eaten. However, it is full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so it is a healthy addition to a predominantly alkaline diet and a wise acid choice. 

Alkalizing legumes include lima beans, navy beans, soybeans, and lentils. You can eat other types of legumes as part of the 30 percent wise acid choices. The alkalizing legumes can be eaten as part of the 70 percent alkaline options. 

To be eaten as part of your 30 percent wise acid choices. 

Conversely, don t rely on these therapies alone to counter acidity in your body. The best way to balance your biochemistry is to eat and drink more alkaline foods and make wise acid choices. Try to exercise at least three to five times a week, breathe deeply whenever you can, enjoy these wonderful therapies as your time and budget permit, and you ll be well on your way to kicking acid.
