question13

Answer:

When almonds digest, they leave an alkaline “ash” in the body, which helps to alkalize the blood.  Since blood must maintain an alkaline pH level of about 7.4 for optimum health, alkaline foods are an essential part of our diet.  If the pH of the blood becomes acid by eating acidifying foods, the body may leach calcium from the bones to neutralize the acid, thereby weaking the bones.  For more information on the benefits of an alkaline diet, check out my article on my Top 10 Bone-Building Foods.
