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.
The pH of urine is between 5.8 and 7. It is slightly acidic to neutral. Infection is generally seen, when the pH levels are lesser than 5.5. Infection, in course of time, gives rise to alkaline urine with a pH of 7.5 or higher.Ascorbic acid is helpful in increasing the pH.he pH of the urine is an indicator of the pH of the blood. In certain conditions, such as renal tubular acidosis, it is the other way round. Urine is acidic in distal renal tubular acidosis, though the blood is alkaline. Foods that raise the urine's acidity are referred to as acid forming foods.
