We’ve undoubtedly heard about the importance of pH balance, alkaline versus acid foods, but where’s the list?  Maintaining an appropriate pH level for the human body has many benefits.  Obviously we are most concerned about the associated benefits of lower acid production relating to those afflicted with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and painful acid reflux symptoms.  Below you will find suggestions for alkaline foods you can eat in three categories; high alkaline, middle alkaline and low alkaline.

People with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) have several different options in an effort to gain better symptom control.  That nasty stomach acid creeping up into the esophagus, or acid reflux, can cause excruciating heartburn pain and indigestion and be even worse in people with a hiatal hernia or peptic ulcer.  Nighttime symptoms may seen particularly worse in some patients as well.  Therefore, the best form of treatment is to be proactive in thought and comply with certain diet restrictions and recommendations.
