In order to make the body function properly, the pH level of the body should be maintained. At optimum levels, the acidic and the alkaline levels should be placed. When the body becomes too acidic, it leads to inflammation. However, with an alkaline diet, it can be brought down. Addressing this, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee wrote, "One of the best things we can do to correct an acid-alkali imbalance is to correct our eating habits and lifestyle. Late nights and lack of sleep make your body acidic even if you are eating an alkaline diet." (Unsplash)
