"The acidity or alkalinity of a food is often determined by the types and proportions of minerals it contains," she says. Fish, meat, eggs, dairy products, sweets, and fat are acidic foods. But vegetables, fruits, and seaweed are considered alkaline foods because they contain minerals like calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, and iron, so they should be eaten in larger quantities.
「食物的酸鹼性，取決於所含礦物質的種類和比例，」她表示，含磷、氯、硫的魚肉蛋奶、甜食、油脂，屬於酸性食物；而蔬菜、水果、海藻富含鈣、鉀、鈉、鎂、鐵等礦物質，屬於鹼性食物，應多多攝取。
