According to Dr. Ragner Berg, the world-famous Swedish nutritionist, humans in general consume more meat and less fruits and vegetables compared to the recommended consumption. Apart from meat, we also consume mainly 100% acid-forming food like seafood, rice, noodles and bread which can be very unhealthy. High acidity in the body depresses the activities of immune cells and may create an environment that encourages the growth of viruses. Instead we should aim for approximately 80% alkaline-forming food and 20% acid-forming food for optimum health.
