Here are my top 10 favorite alkalyzing, bone-building foods!
1. Water with lemon or lime. It’s great any time!
2. Tomatoes of all kinds–cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and those big, juicy on-the-vine tomatoes.
3. Almonds, including raw almonds, almond butter, and almond milk.
4. Broccoli, especially steamed with tomatoes and sunflower seeds.
5. Onions. Saute them with garlic for flavor and an another alkaline boost!
6. Apples. You know the old saying: “An apple a day…”
7. Lentils. Lentil soup is both appetizing and alkalyzing!
8. Sweet potatoes. Yams, too! (No, they’re not the same thing. 
)
9. Greens, especially kale. collards, and romaine lettuce.
10. Grains, especially organic oats, rice, and quinoa.
I always keep these items on hand. Whenever I’ll be away from home for any length of time, I tuck a few of them of them in my lunch box. Then, if I get hungry, I’ve always got something wonderful to eat!
Enjoy!

It would be nice to see the reasons why these are the top 10 bone building foods.

The reasons can be found in my Foundations section. Briefly, foods that leave an acid ash when digested acidify the blood. Since blood must be maintained at an alkaline 7.4 pH level approximately, the body must find some way to neutralize the acid. One way the body neutralizes acid is to leach calcium from the bones. The foods I’ve listed here leave an alkaline ash, and they’re delicious! BTW, I checked out your website. Awesome! I’ve bookmarked it for further reference. Thanks for writing,
