Alkaline Foods. Alkaline foods should really be referred to as alkaline forming foods. Food is considered alkaline forming if food forms alkaline in the body's blood and urine. This does not mean that the food itself is alkaline: it may well be acidic. Orange juice for instance is highly acidic due to its high citrus acid content, but after being metabolized it will cause urine to become alkaline.
Avoid products such as cranberry juice or ascorbic acid because these items may increase urine acid levels. Step 6. Urinate when you first feel the urge. Holding urine in the bladder causes a decrease in water content in the urine and makes it more acidic. Step 7. Stop taking medications that cause a decrease in urine pH levels, which is acidic urine. Medications that may cause acidic urine include thiazide diuretics and ammonium chloride, according to MedlinePlus.
