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.
Urine is normally acidic, with a pH of about 6 (pH range 4.8-8). The urinary pH can be affected by food and various acid-base disorders. Foods that will acidify the urine include cranberry, meat, and high-protein diet; foods that will alkalinize the urine are dairy products, legumes, and citrus products.o acidify the urine and dissolve crystals in cats with recurrent urinary obstruction problems, an extract of cranberry in tablet form can be used. A high-level good quality protein diet in combination with the extract works excellently. Dissolution of crystals can be expected within 24 hours.
