Remember that avoiding acidosis doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you can never eat acid-causing foods. There are many acid-causing foods \u2013 such as chicken, for instance, that offer important health benefits that should not be neglected.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omitting it entirely from one\u2019s diet, unless you are choosing to become a vegetarian, is likely unnecessary.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, by knowing that the chicken you are eating is going to be acid-forming, you can then pair it with enough alkaline foods to help counteract this, putting you back on the healthy end of the scale.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, as with most things in life; it\u2019s about striving for balance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the biggest acid-causing foods out there so that you can get a better idea of which foods you may need to be more aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Very Acidic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first category of acidic foods is those that tend to cause the most acid to develop in the body. &nbsp;These are the foods that you may want to consider cutting out \u2013 if you are going to cut out foods.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bioptimizers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bioptimizers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"pexels-photo (2)\" class=\"wp-image-150302213000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-500x324.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-200x130.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-250x162.jpg 250w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-550x357.jpg 550w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-278x180.jpg 278w, https:\/\/bioptimizers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pexels-photo-2-463x300.jpg 463w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that if there is a food on this list that you absolutely love and want to have \u2013 have it.
